<p><b>Switch</b> is an open-source power system planning model that is uniquely suited for designing and
studying
future power systems that may have large shares of renewable energy, storage and/or demand response. It
optimizes investment decisions for renewable and conventional generation, battery or hydrogen storage,
hydro and
other assets, based on how they would be used during a collection of sample days in many future years.
This
allows it to identify the least-cost system design to meet policy goals such as carbon or renewable
energy
targets while maintaining a reliable supply of power. It is an ideal choice for "what if" analyses of
the cost
of decarbonization or the appropriate role of new technologies. </p>
<p>Switch uses a state-of-the mathematical formulation that considers multiple investment periods and
chronologically sequences of hours, enabling optimization and assessment of a long-term renewable
transition
based on a direct consideration of how these resources would be used hour-by-hour.</p>
<p>The Switch platform is also highly modular, allowing easy selection between prewritten components or
addition
of custom components as first-class elements in the model.</p>
<p>You can find documentation and downloads for Switch at the following locations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Our <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2019.100251">open-access paper on Switch 2.0</a> in
<i>SoftwareX</i> gives an overview of Switch, and the accompanying <a
href="https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2352711018301547-mmc1.pdf">Supplementary
material</a>
gives a complete mathematical description of the model.
</li>
<li>A list of <a href="papers.html">papers and studies written using Switch</a>. These can give you an
idea
of work that others have done—possibly in your area—and may point you toward data sources,
collaborators,
advisors or shared code.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://g-pst.github.io/tools/Tool/55">Global PST</a> and <a
href="https://wiki.openmod-initiative.org/wiki/Switch">openmod initiative</a> portals summarize
Switch's
capabilities and list studies it has been used for. They are also good places to compare Switch to
other
models.</li>
<li><b>Switch tutorial</b>: This gives a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to installing, using and
customizing
Switch. It also provides simple documentation of the most common input files. First follow the <a
href="https://github.com/switch-model/switch_tutorial/raw/master/Switch_Pre-Tutorial_Instructions.pdf">pre-tutorial
instructions</a> to install Switch and set it up for the tutorial. Then follow the <a
href="https://github.com/switch-model/switch_tutorial/raw/master/Switch_Tutorial.pdf">tutorial
itself</a>.
<li><b>Switch repository</b>: <a
href="https://github.com/switch-model/switch">https://github.com/switch-model/switch</a>. This
contains the
generic Switch model, which can be used to create models for new power systems. It also contains
data and
configuration files for a number of example models to help you get started. This repository contains
some
general documentation for modeling with Switch, which will be helpful if you need to customize any
Switch-based models. Scroll down to the "README" document on the first page to get started.</li>
<li><b>Switch-USA-PG repository</b>: <a
href="https://github.com/switch-model/Switch-USA-PG">https://github.com/switch-model/Switch-USA-PG/</a>.
This contains everything you need to setup and run models for the United States or sub-regions
using the <a href="https://github.com/PowerGenome/PowerGenome">PowerGenome</a> data pipeline.</li>
<li><b>Switch-Hawaii repository</b>: <a
href="https://github.com/switch-hawaii/">https://github.com/switch-hawaii/</a>. This contains
data and model
configuration files for the Switch-Hawaii model. Most users will want to use the "<a
href="https://github.com/switch-hawaii/main">main</a>" repository, which is the version of the
model used
for most studies by Matthias Fripp at the University of Hawaii. This fairly closely matches the data
included
in Hawaiian Electric's Power Supply Improvement Plans. This repository includes instructions for
downloading
and installing the Switch-Hawaii data along with a matching version of the main Switch model. Scroll
down to
the "readme.txt" file on the first page of the "<a
href="https://github.com/switch-hawaii/main">main</a>"
repository to get started.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please send a message to the Switch Model Google group (<a

or contact Matthias Fripp at <a
href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> if you have questions
or need
help installing and running Switch.</p>
