The TransiEnt library is written in the Modelica modeling language and allows simulations of coupled energy networks with high share of renewable energies. The library can be downloaded for free and open source under the Modelica License 2.

The TransiEnt library contains object oriented components models of all major elements of the enegy infrastructure with its corresponding producers, consumers, grids and storage systems. These components can be used to simulate different scenarios from single power plants starting up to the simulation of primary control in the ENTSO-E grid.

Based on Modelica. Using Dymola for data processing.

Model Scope

Model type and solution approach

Model class	Dynamic system simulation model library
Sectors	electricity, district heating, Gas
Technologies	Renewables, Conventional Generation, CHP
Decisions
Regions	Hamburg / Germany
Geographic Resolution	Metropolregion Hamburg
Time resolution	Second
Network coverage	transmission, distribution, net transfer capacities

Model type	Simulation
	Models in the library are based on differential algebraic equations and are solved using a variable step solver. By using the object oriented Modelica language the library allows an investigation of different timescales and levels of physical detail.
Variables	Depending on scenario up to 30 000
Computation time	60 minutes (The Library can be used to simulate single components as wells as complete systems. The values above apply to a coupled example whith a district heating network and a gas network.)
Objective
Uncertainty modeling	Prediction errors can be introduced by (filtered) white noise timeseries to see changes in control behaviour
Suited for many scenarios / monte-carlo	No

Reports produced using the model

See: https://www.tuhh.de/transient-ee/en/publications.html for a complete list

Example research questions

How does the possible amount of hydrogen that can be fed into the gas distribution grid depend on the ambient temperature (considering changes in heating load, gas density and heat of combustion)

How does the use of synthetic wind inertia technology impact the electric grid stability
