DHNx (v0.0.1) – Gorgeous Grids

We just published the first release of DHNx!

With DHNx, we introduce a package for district heating network optimization and simulation models.

The aim of DHNx is to develop a library for the planning and modelling of district heating network systems. The package has two main features: the optimization (routing and sizing) of district heating network systems, and the hydraulic and thermal simulation of a district heating network with given pipe diameters.

Examples can be found here here.

oemof.thermal (v0.0.4) – Virtuous Validation

We have just published the fourth release of the oemof.thermal repository.

With the fourth release of oemof-thermal we have validated the compression heat pump, the compression chiller and the stratified thermal storage using data provided by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the energy supplier Naturstrom AG. The results are provided in the documentation.

oemof.thermal (v0.0.3) – Amazing Absorption

We just published the third release of the oemof.thermal repository.

It’s time to proudly introduce a new component – the absorption chiller. Within the module we provide functions to calculate, among others, the characteristic equation, the coefficient of performance and the cooling capacity. See the documentation for more information.

All modules have been updated to oemof.solph v0.4

See the What’s new section for further details about the third release.

oemof.solph v0.4 – Unique Unbundling

After oemof v0.3.2, we decided to make oemof’s structure more clear: Both, the framework (including e.g. TESPy) and the Package for energy system optimisation (using solph) were called the same – oemof. With the release of v0.4.0, there are now split packages for oemof.solph, oemof.network, and oemof.tools.

The third major version of TESPy – Mayer’s Merit – has been released together with a paper in the Journal of Open Source Software, available at the Open Journals website. The new version carries many new features, improved calculation stability for fluid mixtures and back end changes. Continue reading “TESPy v0.3.0 – Mayer’s Merit”

2020-05 user meeting retrospective

In 2020 the first digital oemof meeting was held. Unfortunately, we failed to take a video conference screenshot to keep up the tradition of taking photos together. Maybe next time…On the oemof map, Bremen has now been populated as a new location. Despite the digital meeting, 26 participants from 13 different organizations came together. Bremen proclaims its right to the next analog meeting. Whenever that may be…
