Models to support City of Tucson Microgrid proposal analysis

About

This git repo holds simulations for a City of Tucson Microgrid proposal in 2023. for more information, please see the Solar ROW Microgrids site.

Files

File	Description
building-ac.py	Models AC utilization and power consumption of a building based on its volume, insulation, and outside temperatures
microgrid.py	Intent of this file is to model line losses of a DC distribution network

Purpose

Intent of this repo is to provide predictive capacity to support cost modeling of microgrid proposals. This is necessary because Climate Change will break assumptions about energy consumption and human behavior that may not be fully captured with traditional modeling approaches. Therefore numeric models based on first principles can offer valuable insight into non-linear phenomena that will be increasingly common in the future.
