The Open Modeling Framework (OMF) is a set of Python libraries for simulating power systems behavior with an emphasis on cost-benefit analysis of emerging technologies: distributed generation, storage, networked controls, etc.
The OMF has an easy-to-use web frontend. You can run it yourself or use the free and public site at https://www.omf.coop.
- Create an account on omf.coop and look at the example models
- Walkthrough of a solar analysis
- All model documentation: see pages on the right with "Models ~ ..." in the title.
- A video overview of the OMF.
- Installing your own instance of the OMF
- Extending the OMF with a new model type
- Forum - If you have any further questions or comments please post them to the OMF forum.
The core OMF framework was built with the help of the DOE Office of Electricity (OE). Since then it has been used to support research by the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) NODES, GRIDDATA and OPEN2013 programs, and multiple projects in the DOE Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium (GMLC).
