Thermal Engineering Systems in Python

=====================================

TESPy stands for "Thermal Engineering Systems in Python" and provides a

powerful simulation toolkit for thermal engineering plants such as power

plants, district heating systems or heat pumps. It is an external extension

module within the Open Energy Modelling Framework `oemof `_

and can be used as a standalone package.

With the TESPy package you are able to calculate stationary operation in order

to design the process of thermal energy systems. From that point it is possible

to simulate the offdesign behavior of your plant using underlying

characteristics for each of the plants components. The package includes basic

components, such as turbines, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, pipes,

mixers and splitters as well as some advanced components (derivatives of heat

exchangers, drum).



Everybody is welcome to use and/or develop TESPy. Contribution is already

possible on a low level by simply fixing typos in TESPy's documentation or

rephrasing sections which are unclear. If you want to support us that way

please fork the TESPy repository to your own GitHub account and make changes

as described in the GitHub guidelines:

Documentation

=============

You can find the full documentation at

`readthedocs `_. Use the

`project site `_ of readthedocs to

choose the version of the documentation. Go to the

`download page `_ to

download different versions and formats (pdf, html, epub) of the documentation.



To get the latest news visit and follow our `website `_.



Installing TESPy

================

If you have a working Python3 environment, use pypi to install the latest

tespy version:



.. code:: bash



  pip install tespy



If you want to use the latest features, you might want to install the

**developer version**. See section

`Developing TESPy `_

for more information. The developer version is not recommended for productive

use.



Get in touch

============



Online "Stammtisch"

-------------------



We have decided to start a reoccurring "Stammtisch" meeting for all interested

TESPy users and (potential) developers. You are invited to join us on every 3rd

Monday of a month at 17:00 CE(S)T for a casual get together. The first meeting

will be held at June, 20, 2022. The intent of this meeting is to establish a

more active and well-connected network of TESPy users and developers.



If you are interested, you can simply join the meeting at

https://meet.jit.si/tespy_user_meeting. We are looking forward to seeing you!



User forum

----------

We have implemented a

`discussion room on GitHub `__ as

user forum. If you have issues with setting up your model or any other question

about using the software, you are invited to start a discussion there.



Examples

========



For a short introduction on how TESPy works and how you can use it, we provide

an extensive `user guide `__. You can

download all python scripts of the examples and tutorials from this GitHub

repository. They are included in the "tutorial" directory.



Citation

========

The scope and functionalities of TESPy have been documented in a paper

published in the Journal of Open Source Software with an Open-Access license.

Download the paper from https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.02178. As TESPy is a free

software, we kindly ask that you add a reference to TESPy if you use the

software for your scientific work. Please cite the article with the BibTeX

citation below.

    }



Additionally, you have the possibility to cite a specific version of TESPy to

make your work reproducible. The source code of every version is published on

zenodo. Find your version here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2555866.
