eELib: Open-Source Model Library for Prosumer Power Systems and Energy Management Strategies

The significance of residential prosumer households within future power systems will be elevated due to digitalisation and electrification. To estimate the impact and potential of prosumers, various simulative investigations are needed. In this paper, we present an open-source model library for power systems focused on prosumer households, which is called eELib. Its focus is on controllable prosumer devices and energy management operating strategies, including considerations of the power grid and markets. This allows for versatile simulation of prosumer and smart grid scenarios. The library can be used for studies concerning grid integration and flexibility utilisation. Exemplary results demonstrate the usability on a building level and grid level.
