Basic Energy Renewable Model. Created on May 4 2019, based on interview with Jerico Bakhuis.
Model tries to simulate a system where we have a dynamic Energy Consumption load. The production of energy is supplied by solar energy and by wind energy.
If there is excess supply of energy (supply > demand) the battery is charged. If there is excess demand of energy (supply <demand) the battery is decharged.
The goals of the model are:
1)What combination of Wind production and Solare Energy production leads to a constant battery (not decreasing and not increasing? 2) How can this model be extended with production parameters (Wind mill blades and solar panel units)?
3. How can this model be extended for multiple households (more Energy consumption loads)?
4. How can this model be extended to receive actual data for a year (past data at monthly or hourly granularity)?
5. How can this model be extended to include predictions (future solar energy and wind energy production) based on weather data (expected wind curves and expected solar days at monthly, weekly and daily granularity)?
6. How can this model be extended to use other battery systems (like a water dam that stores water)?
7. How can this model be extended with the right units of measurements (Mwh, m/s, Kw, Mw etc) so it resembles the reality of a small island nation?
8. How can this model be extended with nice images (wind mill, solar panel etc. ) on top of the calculations, so that the story can be told to non technical people?
9. How can we use this tool to tell the story, bit by bit, as an unfolding story to explain the variables, the relationships to people?
Our goal is to improve the model so that it gets actual data feeds (Energy consumption loads of residential units and businesses) and actual data feeds for other parameters (like expected sunny days and expected wind curves) so that it simulates the renewable energy situation on a small island economy in the Caribbean.

You need to add a text in the model explaining your improvements and where you changed the model. So that others can benefit from it. Also you need to provide credits to the original model by stating (this model is an improvement of the Basic Renewable Energy Model, created by Runy Calmera and Jerico Bakhuis on 4 May 2019 and provide a link to our model.
You need to include this description and credits in the description of your model.
