Energy System Optimisation using (Mixed Integer) Linear Programming
share
Although energy system optimisation based on linear optimisation is often used for influential energy outlooks and studies for political decision-makers, the underlying background still needs to be described in the scientific literature in a concise and general form. This study presents the main equations and advanced ideas and explains further possibilities mixed integer linear programming offers in energy system optimisation. Furthermore, the equations are shown using an example system to present a more practical point of view. Therefore, this study is aimed at researchers trying to understand the background of studies using energy system optimisation and researchers building their implementation into a new framework. This study describes how to build a standard model, how to implement advanced equations using linear programming, and how to implement advanced equations using mixed integer linear programming, as well as shows a small exemplary system. - Presentation of the OpTUMus energy system optimisation framework - Set of equations for a fully functional energy system model - Example of a simple energy system model
