Energy Scenario Evaluation

This page is for testing purposes only.


This web application is an interface to more easily query the Global Optimiser component that was implemented for the ePolicy project. Once queried, this interface presents the computed data in forms of graphs and interactive tables to let the user evaluate the possible alternative scenarios for the objective functions to optimise.

Energy Scenario Evaluation

Instructions

  1. Language: select the language to use in the query
    (please note that only English and Italian are currently supported)
  2. Constraints: provide all the appropriate constraints on the domain
    • min_max_source(Source, MinValue, MaxValue)
    • cost >= electric (or similar using cost, electric or thermal)
    where Source is the key for a source (see the references below)
  3. Objective functions: list one or more objectives to optimise
    • max(Term) or min(Term)
    where Term is either cost, electric, thermal or the key for a receptor (see the references below)
  4. No of scenarios: tell the amount of desired scenarios to compare
Warning! No syntax or semantic check is performed on constraints and objective functions.
