HybridSystemsSimulations.jl

Overview

HybridSystemsSimulations.jl is a power system operations simulation package that extends PowerSimulations.jl to model hybrid systems (co-located renewable, thermal, and storage behind a single point of common coupling). It provides device formulations, decision models, and constraints for production-cost and merchant-style studies, including ancillary services and bilevel formulations.

HybridSystemsSimulations.jl is an active project under development, and we welcome your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports.

About Sienna

HybridSystemsSimulations.jl is part of the National Laboratory of the Rockies's (NLR, formerly NREL) Sienna ecosystem, an open source framework for power system modeling, simulation, and optimization. The Sienna ecosystem can be found on GitHub. It contains three applications:

  • Sienna\Data enables efficient data input, analysis, and transformation
  • Sienna\Ops enables system scheduling simulations by formulating and solving optimization problems
  • Sienna\Dyn enables system transient analysis including small signal stability and full system dynamic simulations

Each application uses multiple packages in the Julia programming language.

FlexPower Project

HybridSystemsSimulations.jl has been developed as part of the FlexPower Project at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), formerly NREL.
