Simple example of a hybrid study

This section represents a simple example of a hybrid study that demonstrates how to integrate GEMS models into Antares Simulator. The example can be found in the resources folder and covers a one-week time horizon.

Hybrid Study Example Details

This consists of an area from Solver framework with a constant demand of 60 MW throughout one week and a wind farm component made from the renewable model from the basic-models-library.

Concerning the connection between the area and the renewable component, it's configured by these yaml files:

library.yml :

library:
  id: example_library

  port-types:
    - id: flow_port
      description: A port that transfers a power flow.
      fields:
        - id: flow_field
      area-connection:
        injection-to-balance: flow_field
        spillage-bound:
        unsupplied-energy-bound:

  models:
    - id: renewable
      parameters:
        - id: generation
          time-dependent: true
          scenario-dependent: true
      ports:
        - id: balance_port
          type: flow_port
      port-field-definitions:
        - port: balance_port
          field: flow_field
          definition: generation

system.yml :

system:
  id: system

  components:
    - id: wind_farm
      model: example_library.renewable
      parameters:
        - id: generation
          time-dependent: true
          scenario-dependent: true
          value: wind

  area-connections:
    - component: wind_farm
      port: balance_port
      area: Area

Since the wind farm does not produce enough energy to fully cover the demand, the results include Energy Not Served (ENS).

This example is intended solely to demonstrate how the GEMS component, when connected to an Antares Simulator area, emits a linear expression that is incorporated into the area's balance constraint.

In this specific case, wind generation during the first hour is 20MW and demand is 60MW. As a result, the Antares area reports an ENS of 40MW, which is consistent with the balance shown in the simulation results.
