The Micro-Grid library main objective is to provide an open source alternative to the problem of sizing and dispatch of energy in micro-grids in isolated places. It’s written in python(pyomo) and use excel and text files as input and output data handling and visualization. This Branch was created to contain the data for the 13th IEEE PowerTech 2019 paper "Two-stage stochastic sizing of a rural micro-grid based on stochastic load generation".
Main features:
Optimal sizing of Lion-Ion batteries, diesel generators and PV panels in order to supply a demand with the lowest cost possible.
Optimal dispatch from different energy sources.
Calculation of the net present cost of the system for the project lifetime.
Determination of the LCOE for the optimal system.

The python libraries needed to run Micro-Grids are the following:
-Pyomo Optimization object library, interface to LP solver (e.g. CPLEX)
-Pandas for input and result data handling
-Matplotlib for plotting
