E4ST.jl: Policy & Investment Analysis for the Electric Sector
The Engineering, Economic, and Environmental Simulation Tool (E4ST) is a detailed power sector model from Resources for the Future for comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of policies and investments in the electricity sector. Originally written in MATLAB on top of MATPOWER, E4ST.jl is the Julia rewrite of the model, using JuMP, and Julia’s multiple dispatch programming paradigm to allow users to specify novel climate policies, introduce new technologies, and change spatial/temporal resolution.
