Abstract

Backbone is a generic energy network optimization tool written in GAMS. It has been designed to be highly adaptable in different dimensions: temporal, spatial, technology representation and market design. The model can represent stochastics with a model predictive control method, with short-term forecasts and longer-term statistical uncertainties. Backbone can support multiple different models due to the modifiable temporal structure and varying lengths of the time steps.

Backbone is available at https://gitlab.vtt.fi/backbone/backbone.
