Clarification of simulation annuity for PV assets #160
Comments
Thank you for your question! I took the liberty to post the question here, but did not take the time to translate it into english, sorry.
That is because it is directly an argument of the function when it is called (last argument offgridders/src/G0_oemof_simulate.py Line 195 in a8fa6f1

Yes, we are using the normalized costs of PV in Offgridders, as this works best with oemof. When you provide the specific generation timeseries that is needed to define a PV asset, its values usually are within
When we do that, however, we change the potenial generation from one unit of PV that oemof installs for the previosly defined costs. If the timeseries was always in [0,1[ , that would mean that suddenly or PV got cheaper! That is not right. So for the optimization, we also need to adjust the costs per unit of PV - so that the normalized timeseries fits with a normalized price. This happens here:
As I understand, you are not using Offgridders for this, but own code? This may also be an issue with your input values. If your PV plant exceeds your peak demand by factor 10, then the alternatives may be very expensive. It is hard to tell without any input data. You should look into:
As described above, oemof (or rather the cbc-solver), does not deal well with optimizing assets that have an availability timeseries and in that values |
thank you very much for your reply and posting that here! I really appreciate it! this is a short overview about the input data concerning or the way I proceeded
In contrast to Offgridders I saw some another Oemof examples where the economic tool of oemof was used without normed costs for pv, that I've got bit confused. Do you think I should take another input pv data so that the maximum pv output does not exceed the peak demand or what do you recommend me ? I'm thinking about how can I mitigate this problem concerning over designed pv capacity. I am very grateful for your help. |
Hi @JassemKh this question is very general and does not relate to Offgridders specifically anymore. You wrote me that it is solved already by now, but if you have follow-up questions, it is better to ask them at the |
