If not, why?

wilcowijbrandi commented 2 years ago

Hi! Sorry, PowerMatcher is currently not actively being developed. The main contributor TNO (the Dutch institute for applied scientific research) currently does not have any projects that make use of PowerMatcher. I believe the code base is still being used in academia.

We are however still very much involved in solutions for energy flexibility. If you're interested, let me know!

@wilcowijbrandi Thanks for the info. I was reading about PowerMatcher (https://www.tno.nl/media/1986/tno-powermatcher-jrv140416-01.pdf) and it looked quite useful! I am curious about the open source energy software landscape and where different efforts overlap. This project looks similar to some of the work going on at https://www.lfenergy.org/

@leblowl Alliander is a linking pin, being both involved with the Flexible power Alliance Network (FAN) and being a strategic member at LFEnergy. Although PowerMatcher is not actively being developed it has been put to the test. So I think the principles and the code still has plenty of value.
