User’s guide for the Open Hydropower Library (OpenHPL)
Abstract
OpenHPL is an open-source hydropower library that consists of hydropower unit models and is encoded in Modelica. Modelica is a multi-domain as well as a component-oriented modelling language that is suitable for complex system modelling. In order to develop the library, OpenModelica has been used as an open-source Modelica-based modelling and simulation environment.
