ETHOS.FINE - Framework for Integrated Energy System Assessment

The ETHOS.FINE python package provides a framework for modeling, optimizing and assessing energy systems. With the provided framework, systems with multiple regions, commodities and time steps can be modeled. Target of the optimization is the minimization of the total annual cost while considering technical and environmental constraints. Besides using the full temporal resolution, an interconnected typical period storage formulation can be applied, that reduces the complexity and computational time of the model.

ETHOS.FINE is used for the modelling of a diverse group of optimization problems within the Energy Transformation PatHway Optimization Suite (ETHOS) at IEK-3.

For further information have a look at the documentation. The python package which provides the time series aggregation module and its corresponding literature can be found here.

If you want to use ETHOS.FINE in a published work, please kindly cite following publication which gives a description of the first stages of the framework.
