Network expansion planning with FlexPlan.jl

Online

During this online talk Matteo Rossini will present FlexPlan.jl, a Julia package for modeling stochastic network planning problems considering AC and DC technology, storage and demand flexibility as possible expansion candidates. FlexPlan.jl supports systems composed of both transmission and balanced distribution networks, which can be optimized jointly or using a heuristic procedure that decouples the
