The global energy system is undergoing a major transformation. Renewable energy generation is growing and is projected to accelerate further with the global emphasis on decarbonization. Furthermore, distributed generation is projected to play a significant role in the new energy system, and energy models are playing a key role in understanding how distributed generation can be integrated reliably and economically. The deployment of massive amounts of distributed generation requires understanding the interface of technology, economics, and policy in the energy modeling process. In this work, we present an end-to-end computational framework for distributed energy resource (DER) modeling, REopt Lite which addresses this need effectively. We describe the problem space, the building blocks of the model, the scaling capabilities of the design, the optimization formulation, and the accessibility of the model. We present a framework for accelerating the techno-economic analysis of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources to enable rapid planning and decision-making, thereby significantly boosting the rate the renewable energy deployment. Lastly, but equally importantly, this computation framework is open-sourced to facilitate transparency, flexibility, and wider collaboration opportunities within the worldwide energy modeling community.

电表背后 DER 技术经济建模和优化的计算框架 -- REopt Lite

全球能源体系正在发生重大变革。随着全球对脱碳的重视，可再生能源的发电量正在增长，预计将进一步加速。此外，分布式发电预计将在新能源系统中发挥重要作用，能源模型在理解分布式发电如何可靠、经济地集成方面发挥着关键作用。大量分布式发电的部署需要了解能源建模过程中技术、经济和政策的接口。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个用于分布式能源 (DER) 建模的端到端计算框架 REopt Lite，它有效地满足了这一需求。我们描述了问题空间、模型的构建块、设计的扩展能力，优化公式和模型的可访问性。我们提出了一个框架，用于加速电表背后分布式能源的技术经济分析，以实现快速规划和决策，从而显着提高可再生能源的部署速度。最后，但同样重要的是，该计算框架是开源的，以促进全球能源建模社区内的透明度、灵活性和更广泛的协作机会。
