Simple Renewable Energy System simulation

[ropewe56]

Hi,

I'm a retired physicist with a strong interest in renewable energy systems. I'd like to simulate a simple model with wind, solar, and energy storage. I really like using Julia and have therefore chosen PowerSystems, PowerSimulations, etc., as my platform. The model converges, and the results look mostly reasonable. However, I'm having trouble because the combined output of wind, solar, and storage (stout/eta_out - stout*eta_in) doesn't equal the load. I think I need a slack factor that absorbs either too much or too little power. Unfortunately, I don't know how to implement this. I would be very grateful for any help.

Thank you very much in anticipation
Best regards

Hi Rolf,

What network model are you using? You can enable slacks for the network when you are setting up your network model like this:

template_uc = ProblemTemplate(NetworkModel(CopperPlatePowerModel; use_slacks = true))

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for the reply, I'll try that.

There is a git repo at https://codeberg.org/KlimaEnergie/RenewablePowerSystem.jl
