2022 Jun Release

Start with our online documentation to get started with install instructions, examples, etc.

Highlights of this release:

Updated unit models for hydrogen turbine, PEM electrolyzer, electrical splitter
Added a “simple hydrogen tank” model which tracks mass balance in linear form, but not enthalpy balance.
Updated the flowsheet model for the nuclear case study with the updated unit models
Added four models for the conceptual design and operation optimization of an energy-integrated ultra-supercritical thermal power generator
Updated IDAES verison
Adding RTS-GMLC dependency
Update RE flowsheet models
Added script for running RE double loop
Added utilities for post-processing Double loop results files
Added nine Jupyter notebooks to illustrate:
1. Modeling and analysis of an ultra-supercritical thermal power generator
2. Conceptual design of an ultra-supercritical generator integrated with an energy storage system using Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP)
3. Modeling and analysis of the energy-integrated ultra-supercritical generator obtained from the GDP formulation
4. Market analysis with a pricetaker assumption using the integrated ultra-supercritical generator model
5. Double loop analysis with ultra-supercritical generator
6. Conceptual design of a low temperature electrolysis unit integrated with a base-load nuclear power plant
7. Use of IDEAS grid integration tools simulation of nuclear-based IES with the double-loop workflow
8. Conceptual design of wind, battery, and hyrdogen IES
9. Use of IDEAS grid integration tools simulation of renewables-based IES with the double-loop workflow
