MOCES is a modeling tool that allows a simulative investigation of complex energy systems. It is build on top of the modeling language Modelica. It is not restricted to a specific modeling depth, neither spatial nor temporal. Nevertheless, in the time domain it focus on dynamics with time constants larger then seconds and in the spatial domain it concentrate on the super ‘entity connected to the grid’ level.
