Switch energy storage sequence

What is switch power system planning?

Switch is an open-source power system planning model that is uniquely suited for designing and studying future power systems that may have large shares of renewable energy, storage and/or demand response.

What is a switch model?

This contains the generic Switch model, which can be used to create models for new power systems. It also contains data and configuration files for a number of example models to help you get started.

How does switch work?

Switch uses a state-of-the mathematical formulation that considers multiple investment periods and chronologically sequences of hours, enabling optimization and assessment of a long-term renewable transition based on a direct consideration of how these resources would be used hour-by-hour.
