Roadmap for IES Modeling and Simulation Activities: Update 2023
Since inception of the DOE-NE Integrated Energy Systems (IES) program, several program and modeling visions and roadmaps have been published. In 2020, a last comprehensive roadmap for the DOE-NE Integrated Energy Systems program was published. In 2017, a separate modeling and simulation capability development plan was published that was extensively updated in 2022. The current […]
Roadmap for IES Modeling and Simulation Activities
Since inception of the DOE-NE Integrated Energy Systems (IES) program, several program and modeling visions and roadmaps have been published. In 2017, the last modeling and simulation capability development plan was published. In 2020, a comprehensive roadmap for the DOE-NE Integrated Energy Systems program has been published. The current report is meant to update the […]
Technoeconomic assessment of hydrogen cogeneration via high temperature steam electrolysis with a light-water reactor
Increased electricity production from renewable energy resources, coupled with low natural gas (NG) prices, has caused existing light-water reactors (LWRs) to experience diminishing returns from the electricity market. This reduction in revenue is forcing LWRs to consider alternative revenue streams, such as introduction hydrogen production or desalination, to remain profitable. This paper performs a technoeconomic […]

Status on the development of the infrastructure for a Flexible Modelica/RAVEN framework for IES
The proof of principle Functional Mock-Up Unit (FMU) generation has been made more robust and merged into RAVEN. Now RAVEN has added the ability to generate FMUs from external models and Reduced Order Models (ROMs). This has been tested on multiple operating systems and regression tests for this have been added.
