Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017, vol. 80, issue C, 390-398

Abstract: Whether you are beginning to learn about renewable energy or are an expert, there are a number of software-tools that can be used to help simulate and optimize your system. Performance models simulate energy outputs with system configurations specified by the user, while optimization models can help plan appropriate system sizes to meet energy goals such as minimizing life-cycle system costs or maximizing carbon reduction.
