Abstract

This tool allows for the simulation of connected smart neighbourhoods, including shared battery storage and energy exchange. It was written in MATLAB and has been described in "Shared Energy Storage and Neighbourhood Energy Exchange: A Smart Neighbourhood Simulation Environment", which was published in Springer's Lecture Notes on Computer Science.
