What’s new in version 0.5.0

Version available since August 7, 2025

Bug fixed

e_min and e_max for both charging and discharging can be defined
The issues related to the charging and discharging rates of the storage unit have been resolved.
The issue causing a KeyError: ‘storage_e_f_min’ when directly specifying e_f — due to the model incorrectly adding constraints involving non-optimization variables—has been resolved.

The issue causing distortion of the consumption profile of shiftable energy units—despite maintaining the same total energy consumption

has been resolved in the latest release.

StorageUnit updated from EnergyUnit to AssemblyUnit
Possibility to assign the capacity without assigning the maximum power of charging and discharging, default value equals to capacity value
e_min and e_max for both charging and discharging can be defined
A new constraint, ef_geq_e0, has been added to the storage unit to softly enforce that the final state of charge (SOC) is at least equal to the initial SOC
The issue causing a KeyError: ‘storage_e_f_min’ when directly specifying e_f — due to the model incorrectly adding constraints involving non-optimization variables—has been resolved.

Updated in order to consider the new StorageUnit as an AssemblyUnit (methods _check_energy_unit and _check_energy_type)
