In PowNet, a power system is represented by a set of nodes that include power plants, high-voltage substations, and import/export stations (for cross-border systems). The model schedules and dispatches the electricity supply from power plant units to meet hourly electricity demand in substations (at a minimum cost). It considers the techno-economic constraints of both generating units and high-voltage transmission network. The power flow calculation is based on a Direct Current (DC) network (with N-1 criterion), which provides a reasonable balance between modelling accuracy and data and computational requirements.<br /> |Primary purpose=Power systems analysis<br /> |Primary outputs=Hourly schedule and dispatch of power plant units, flow through transmission lines, and reserves.<br /> |Source of funding=Singapore's Ministry of Education (MoE)<br /> |open_source_licensed=Yes<br /> |license=MIT license (MIT)<br /> |model_source_public=Yes<br /> |Link to source=https://github.com/kamal0013/PowNet<br /> |data_availability=all<br /> |open_future=No<br /> |modelling_software=Python (Pyomo)<br /> |processing_software=Python<br /> |External optimizer=GUROBI, CPLEX<br /> |Primary purpose=Power systems analysis<br /> |GUI=No<br /> |model_class=Network-constrained Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch<br /> |sectors=Electricity, Electric power, Energy<br /> |technologies=Renewables, Conventional Generation<br /> |Demand sectors=Households, Industry, Commercial sector<br /> |Energy carrier (Gas)=Natural gas, Biogas<br /> |Energy carriers (Solid)=Biomass, Coal, Lignite<br /> |Energy carriers (Renewable)=Hydro, Sun, Wind<br /> |Transfer (Electricity)=Distribution, Transmission<br /> |Storage (Gas)=No<br /> |Storage (Heat)=No<br /> |decisions=dispatch<br /> |georegions=Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, any user-defined country or region<br /> |georesolution=High-voltage substation<br /> |timeresolution=Hour<br /> |network_coverage=transmission, distribution, DC load flow<br /> |Additional dimensions (Ecological)=water-energy nexus<br /> |math_modeltype=Optimization, Simulation<br /> |math_modeltype_shortdesc=Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP), DC Power Flow, Unit Commitment, Economic Dispatch<br /> |math_objective=Cost minimization<br /> |deterministic=Sensitivity analysis<br /> |is_suited_for_many_scenarios=No<br /> |montecarlo=No<br /> |computation_time_minutes=minutes<br /> |citation_references=Chowdhury, A.F.M.K., Kern, J., Dang, T.D. and Galelli, S., 2020.
