Open Inertia Modelling (OpInMod)

A model generator for unit commitment and economic inertia dispatch modelling

Open Inertia Modelling (OpInMod) is a modelling framework designed to create unit commitment and economic inertia dispatch optimisation problems. Present energy system modelling generators do not consider power system inertia in unit commitment and economic dispatch modelling to assess future energy system pathways. However, maintaining sufficient power system inertia in power systems is the foundation for power frequency controllability. OpInMod closes this gap. Synchronous inertia from synchronously connected rotating masses as well as synthetic inertia from wind  turbines and battery storage units are considered to contribute to the overall power system inertia.
