Verification of the Software and Computing Systems Used for Simulating and Optimizing Energy Complexes Involving Renewable Energy Sources to Achieve Sustainable Energy Sector Development Goals

The aim of the work is to test and verify the most widely used international and Russian software and computing systems (SCS) by analyzing and comparing real energy complexes to determine the best universal tool for simulating and optimizing hybrid energy complexes (HECs) containing power units on the basis of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems. The basic principles and technologies for development of HECs with RES are considered, and the main structural components of these complexes and their functions are described. The functional capabilities of Russian and foreign SCSs for simulating HECs with RES have been analyzed, and their main advantages and shortcomings have been studied. The most widely used SCSs are tested and verified by applying them to real energy complexes with different equipment compositions.
