AR-PST - UniMelb

This organisation collects all open-source developments that have been developed by the research team of the Power and Energy Systems Group at The University of Melbourne (UniMelb) as part of the work for AR-PST initiative, under the leadership of CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

Repositories

This organisation currently includes datasets and code developments in Topic 4 "Planning", across stages 3 - 5.

• Stage 3 includes core datasets for the final report:
  
  Energy infrastructure planning under deep uncertainty: Assessing impacts and benefits of energy system integration
  Pablo Apablaza, Cristian Alcarruz, Ronggen Chen, Bastian Moya, Sleiman Mhanna, Pierluigi Mancarella

• Stage 4 includes core datasets for the final report:
  
  Integrated energy system planning: Unlocking the value and flexibility from distribution networks and electricity-hydrogen energy hubs
  Cristian Alcarruz, Ronggen Chen, Pablo Apablaza, Bastian Moya, Sleiman Mhanna, Pierluigi Mancarella

• Stage 5 builds upon multiple core repositories, which are described in detail below. It complements the final report:
  
  Resource Adequacy, Risk, and Resilience in Low-Carbon Energy System Planning: Methods, Tools, and Metrics
  Tim Kopka, Muhammad Yasironi, Pablo Apablaza, Bastian Moya, Sleiman Mhanna, Pierluigi Mancarella

Overview - Stage 5 Developments

Five core repositories are developed:

1. PISP.jl: A data parser to parse public data of AEMO's Integrated System Plan (ISP) into an interoperable format for power system studies.
2. PRASNEM.jl: An adequacy framework to enable high-speed, NEM-wide time-sequential operational runs accounting for random unplanned outages using PRAS.
3. SiennaNEM.jl: An operability framework for sequential and time-coupled modelling framework for operational assessments of the NEM using Sienna.
4. SchedNEM.jl: A time-sequential modelling framework, designed to be lightweight, fast, and easily customisable. Initially developed for AR-PST Stage 5.
5. NEM-reliability-suite: A collection of examples, studies and data to assess reliability of the NEM using the repositories. This includes the scripts necessary for replicating the results presented in the AR-PST final report.

Schematic Overview

Getting started

NEM-reliability-suite compromises tutorial scripts and is able to call the packages, therefore, we recommend starting by following the tutorial in its ReadMe.
