Basic example¶
Using standard oemof-solph components¶
General description¶
A basic example to show how to model a simple energy system with oemof.solph.
The following energy system is modeled:
input/output bgas bel
| | |
| | |
wind(FixedSource) |------------------>|
| | |
pv(FixedSource) |------------------>|
| | |
rgas(Commodity) |--------->| |
| | |
demand(Sink) |<------------------|
| | |
| | |
pp_gas(Converter) |<---------| |
|------------------>|
| | |
storage(Storage) |<------------------|
|------------------>|
