Electricity
Photovoltaics, wind, batteries and grid connection with feed-in and purchase prices.
Simulation and optimization
The best design for your energy system, rather than estimated.
SimOptimum assembles a model from tested modules, simulates every time step of the year and searches for the sizes, settings and schedules that reach your target best.
Approach
From model to decision in three steps
-
01
Model
Connect generators, storage, consumers, tariffs and contracts into a pipeline. 55 modules cover physics, technology and economics; every port has a unit.
-
02
Simulate
The pipeline is compiled to native code and computed step by step, up to a full year in quarter hours. Change a value and see target, key figures and every time series again.
-
03
Optimize
Mark the values to search, such as capacities, settings or a full operating schedule. Proven methods like differential evolution, CMA-ES and pattern search find the best combination.
Fields
One method for many energy questions
Heating
Boilers, combined heat and power, heat pumps and thermal storage.
Cooling
Chillers, heat recovery and heat rejection.
Industry
Compressed air, hydrogen and production processes.
Mobility
Vehicle fleets and charging at home.
Finance
Contracts, tariffs, investment and payback over the planning horizon.
Results
Results you can trace
- ReproducibleEvery result keeps its values together with the exact model it was computed with. Opened again, it shows the same numbers.
- ValidatedModules and optimizers are checked against independent reference calculations and published examples.
- 134 examplesReady-made projects from a single component to a complete site, as a starting point for your own model.
