Open source framework for cross-grid-level electricity grid and storage optimization
Primary Purpose
Integrated optimization of flexibility options and grid extension measures for power grids
Description
The python package eGo is a toolbox and also an application which combines eTraGo - a tool for optimizing flexibility options for transmission grids based on PyPSA and eDisGo - a toolbox in itself capable of analyzing distribution grids for grid issues and evaluating measures responding these.
Uniform grid planning is required for a successful energy transition. This involves the management of the German electricity grid with more than 800 different network operators and the resulting wide range of interests that sometimes stand at odds with the national economic objectives of the energy transition. However, there is currently no suitable grid planning tool that is able to consider optimum national economic use of the various flexibility options at the different levels. The current challenges of planning for grid expansion associated with the energy transition are answered by open_eGo.
