This script allows the user to get some understanding of the differences between the two energy modelling frameworks; urbs & oemof.

urbs: https://github.com/tum-ens/urbs

oemof: https://github.com/oemof

mimo.xlsx (https://github.com/rl-institut/urbs-oemof/blob/master/mimo.xlsx) is a simpler version of the example input data (https://github.com/tum-ens/urbs/blob/master/mimo-example.xlsx) of urbs.

oemof, os, sys, logging, pandas, numpy, networkx, matplotlib, datetime, pprint, getpass, oedialect, sqlalchemy, geoalchemy2

• After installing the above mentioned required packages, run mimo.py via python3 mimo.py.
• The script should output the differences as text on cmd.
• Under result folder, generated plots can be found.

• 10% most basic system with a node having a power plant and a demand
• 15% 3 node system, each having the same power plant and the same demand
• 25% 3 node system, each having the same 4 power plants and the same demand
• 30% 3 node system, same 3 renewable power plants are implemented to 25%
• 40% 3 node system, same PP & rPP, but different demand
• 50% 3 node system, same amount of PP & rPP as 40%, but different specification (capacity, costs, etc...)
• 51% 7 more nodes are implemented to 50%

10% - Nd_0[PP_0] & Nd_0[Dmd_0]
15% - Nd_i[PP_0] & Nd_i[Dmd_0] // i=0,1,2
25% - Nd_i[PP_j] & Nd_i[Dmd_0] // i=0,1,2 // j=0,1,2,3
30% - Nd_i[PP_j] & Nd_i[rPP_i] & Nd_i[Dmd_0] // i=0,1,2 // j=0,1,2,3
