Antares documentation¶

Antares-Simulator is an Open Source (GNU GPL 3.0) power system simulator meant to be used by anybody placing value in quantifying the adequacy or the economic performance of interconnected energy systems, at short or remote time horizons. With an adequate modelling of the energy consumption, generation and transportation, the software performs probabilistic simulations of the system throughout many year-long scenarios made of 8760 hourly time-frames each.

Transmission system Operators, Power and Gas Producers, Regulators, Academics, Consultants, NGO and all others actors concerned by energy policy issues are welcome to use the software.

This documentation¶

This documentation is meant not only to present the functionalities of Antares_Simulator, its user guide and the theoretical model it uses, but also the software that work together with the simulator:

R-packages aimed at the preparation, post-processing and visualisation of Antares simulations
Antares_xpansion that optimizes the installed capacities of an ANTARES study
Antares_Launcher that allows to run Antares simulations on a remote dedicated machines (that have a suitable Antares installation)
