Welcome to Artelys Crystal Super Grid’s documentation!¶
This following documentation aims at providing a global understanding of Artelys Crystal Super Grid software operations. Both the underlying models and the indicators used to analyze the results of the simulation are covered by this documentation :
- Asset models : This section details the different assets that can be used to create a scenario representing a given energy system. The complete description of each asset can be found on page Library. The assets rely on complex models, with advanced features that manage several energies at an hourly granularity. To handle the associated model equations, an api has been developed and its documentation can be found on page API.
- Indicators : This section focuses on the indicators used in Artelys Crystal Super Grid to analyze the results.
