# carbatpy

Modeling Carnot Batteries (Thermal Energy Storage), a Python package.
 ### THIS is the version with the new directory structure, several files from the previous version are not included yet! (2023-10-23)

This is a project aiming to model thermal energy storages using heat pumps for 
charging, organic Rankine cycles (ORC) for discharging and different kinds of 
storages.
For this, it is planned to use detailed fluid models (as implemented e.g. in 
REFPROP, CoolProp, or TREND ) and setting up systems which can either be steady 
state or (later) also unsteady.
Since this project just starts, do not expect too much.
It is aimed to have heat exchangers, machines and storages as compounds, which 
can be combined to different charging and dicharging configurations. For these, 
the energy balance, mass balance and further relations will be applied/solved.
Later on also thermo-economic calculations are planned.

For the beginning, the solution of the spatially resolved heat exchanger 
profiles, a  boundary value problem, and its irreversibility will be 
implemented. An optimization will follow.
