Workshop on Community Microgrid and Solar Apartments Models

Thursday, May 30, 2019, Rydges Hotel, Sydney

This workshop will cover two of our open source modelling tools, with a focus on the User Interface we have just developed and is now open for beta testing. The models are:

1. Solar Apartments (also known as Mike’s model)
Can be used to model the electrical and financial flows in apartment buildings with PV (and batteries) installed behind the meter or distributed through embedded networks.

2. Community Microgrid (also known as the Luomi model, after Luke and Naomi who wrote it)
Can be used to model the electrical and financial flows for a microgrid with behind the meter PV and a centralised battery.

The slides have been also presented in another workshop at Byron Bay Council Admin building Mullumbimby on 31 May 2019 (videos of presentations are available here).
