Energy carriers¶

An energy carrier is any substance or medium that contains energy, such as gaseous or solid fuels, electricity, hot water, cold water, solar irradiance, and so on.

By selecting new technologies from the database, the necessary energy carriers can be automatically created. You can create or modify the energy carriers to change their name and color, which will be reflected in the results.

For parameters, see Energy carrier parameters.

For every stage, hub, energy carrier, and time step, the following energy balance is respected:

Here, t is the time step.
