This repository hosts the base version of the Happi model, developed using Mathematica software. The Happi model is a computational tool designed for exploring the low-carbon transition of the power system.
Contents
Model Code: The primary model code is available in the file HAPPI_vJune2021.nb, written in the Mathematica programming language.
Data Files: slices.dat: This model uses 64 times slices to represent various wind and solar variabilities and electricity demand. This file describe how many hours in each slice. solarWindDemand.dat: capacity factors for solar and wind.
Model Description: A detailed description of the model is provided in the document ODD-model description_0617.docx in this repository. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out to the author at kristian.lindgren@chalmers.se or jinxi@chalmers.se.
