Switch 2.0 is an open-source platform for planning transitions to low-emission electric power systems, designed to satisfy 21st century grid planning requirements. Switch is capable of long-and short-term planning of investments and operations with conventional or smart grids, integrating large shares of renewable power, storage and/or demand response. Applications include integrated resource planning, investment planning, economic and policy analyses as well as basic research. Switch 2.0 includes a complete suite of power system elements, including unit commitment, part-load efficiency, planning and operating reserves, fuel supply curves, storage, hydroelectric networks, policy constraints and demand response. It uses a robust, modular architecture that allows users to compose models by choosing built-in modulesà la carte or writing custom modules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
