Switch 2.0: A Modern Platform for Planning High-Renewable Power Systems

摘要: This paper describes Switch 2.0, an open-source modeling platform for planning transitions to low-emission electric power grids, designed satisfy 21st century grid requirements. is capable of long-, medium- and short-term investments operations with conventional or smart integrating large shares renewable power, storage and/or demand response. Applications include integrated resource planning, investment economic policy analyses as well basic research. Potential users researchers, educators, industry regulators. formulates generation transmission capacity a mixed integer linear program where operation are co-optimized across sampled time series during multiple periods. High-resolution production cost supported by freezing decisions including longer more operational details. Modeling features unit commitment, part-load efficiency, operating reserves, fuel supply curves, storage, hydroelectric networks, constraints has modular architecture that allows flexibly compose models choosing built-in modules 'a la carte' writing custom modules. the software model formulation 2.0 provides case study in which was used identify best options obtaining load-shifting reserve services from batteries response 100% system.
