Packages

Under the umbrella of oemof, several libraries for energy system modelling are collected. Each specialised for a certain task. The most recognised library oemof-solph is used to model energy system with LP/MILP. It can be fed with demand data from the demandlib and feedin timeseries from the feedinlib. TESPy provides in-depth modelling of thermal energy systems. oemof-thermal extends oemof-solph components with LP/MILP modelled thermal components. CyDeTS can be used to detect storage cycles. The libraries share common principles, similar APIs, and are at least partially interoperable.
