shipp 1.2.0

A design optimization software for hybrid power plants

SHIPP: Sizing optimization for HybrId Power Plants

Description

SHIPP is used for studying the design and operation of hybrid power plants, i.e. power plants combining one or more renewable energy production with energy storage systems.

Installation

The package can be installed using pip.

pip install shipp
