This repository contains the calculation code of the webtool EHDO. EHDO can be accessed here: https://ehdo.eonerc.rwth-aachen.de
EHDO (Energy hub design optimization) is a user-friendly, free webtool for planning complex multi-energy systems. It is used in academic teaching in Energy Engineering at RWTH Aachen University.
Due to frequent requests for a stand-alone version of the optimization model, we also share the folder plug_and_play_model which contains the EHDO optimization model in a form that can be run directly in a Python environment (needs a Gurobi license, no webframework needed).
This repository contains 5 files:
optim_model.py:The EHDO optimization model with all constraints, variables and objective functions.
load_params.py:All model parameters are defined here. User parameters are handed over by the Django webframework.
k_medoids.py:Preprocessing of the design day clustering algorithm.
clustering_medoid.py:Optimization model with all constraints and objective functions for the design day clustering.
The EHDO webtool has been presented in the following publications:
