Initial release of renpassG!S

renpassG!S is an easy-to-use application designed to model the cost-minimal dispatch of energy supply systems. Technically speaking, it is a so-called numerical partial equilibrium model of a liberalised electricity market often referred to as fundamental model.

feedinlib’s pv model works again with v0.0.9

Due to some changes in the pvlib API, we had to adapt the pv model of the feedinlib. Now everything works fine again.

Together with the pvlib we are planing to reduce the code of feedinlib’s pv model and move missing functionalities directly to the pvlib. This will avoid incompatibility problems in the future.

It’s April 1st? Time for the March release (v0.0.5)

On April 1st of 2016 version 0.0.5 aka the March release of oemof has been published. Among some bug fixes, documentation cleanups and new features, we are marching towards stabilizing oemof’s API and feature set. See the release notes for a (more or less complete) breakdown of what’s new in this release.

There will be a major refactoring in April which is planned to create the basis for a bigger version bump.
