Open source water-energy simulator introduction to the water-energy simulator

1. Introduction

This video aims to introduce the water-energy simulator. An illustrative energy network consisting of 3 buses, 2 hydropower generators, 2 thermal generators and 2 energy demands has been used in this video. The energy network is linked to a water network that contains 2 reservoirs, 2 water supplies, 2 irrigation demands and 2 turbines that are connected to the hydropower generators in the energy system.

As indicated on the home page of the training you should have already created an account.

2. Intended learning outcomes

After completing this session, you will be able to:

  • Understand the components of the water-energy simulator
  • Create an integrated water-energy network from scratch
  • Run and visualise the results of an integrated water-energy simulation

The video also has an in-depth explanation of the water and energy systems, their inputs, and their outputs.

3.Tutorial Video

The video below demonstrates the key steps to guide you through the water-energy interface for you to be able to get familiar with the main components of the interface and the procedures to run a water-energy simulation.
