Energy System Modeling with R and energyRt

Preface

Welcome to the evolving documentation and tutorial for the energyRt package in R, a powerful tool for energy system modeling. This book is intended to be a comprehensive guide, taking you on a journey from the foundational concepts of energy systems to the most advanced modeling techniques.

As the global landscape of energy production and consumption continues to evolve, energy systems face decarbonization challenges, the need for accurate and flexible modeling tools has never been greater. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, policy analyst, or data scientist, this book aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to model complex energy systems using R and energyRt.

The energyRt package is a versatile and robust tool, purpose-built to address the unique challenges of energy system modeling. The goal of this book is to show how to harness the full potential of energyRt, applying it to a wide range of scenarios, from simple supply-demand balances to intricate multi-sector energy systems.
