In addition, it presents an example use case in which UC optimization is done for a waste-to-energy plant with heat storage and a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Germany, under uncertain day-ahead and balancing power (aFRR) market prices as well as heat load uncertainty. The tool consists of multiple modular extensions for the Python for Power System Analysis (PyPSA) framework, namely the implementation of market and bidding mechanisms, stochastic optimization and multistaging.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.06490v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.06490v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-open-source-stochastic-unit-commitment","repo_url":"https://github.com/PPGS-Tools/PyPSA-stochUC","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
