runtime ~1ms to simulate 4.5 years half-hourly
In Britain, how much wind & PV generation would be constrained, and what proportion of demand would get met in real time, assuming half-hourly demand as it was 2011-2015, and X% aggregate wind penetration, Y% aggregate PV penetration, and power-to-gas storage with an input efficiency of A%, an output efficiency of B%, storage capacity of C TWh, an input capacity of D GW, and an output capacity of E GW.
Simulating storage and exogenously-variable renewables
The model uses historic demand data, and historic (half-)hourly capacity factors for PV and wind, to simulate the extent to which demand could be met by some combination of wind, PV and storage. Please do email me if you'd like to request early access to the source, and mention your github username.
