RAMP

Stochastic simulation of energy user-controlled time series

How does RAMP help?

The RAMP software was co-developed by RLI scientists and helps with the stochastic simulation of energy user-controlled time series based on a few simple inputs (e.g. number of appliances, power and usage time within a day).

Who is the tool suitable for?

RAMP is suitable for actors who want to simulate and analyze energy-related time series, especially in situations with incomplete, uncertain data or where no data is available at all, such as unelectrified communities.

How does RAMP work?

RAMP uses stochastic simulations to generate energy user-driven time series. The tool aims to provide synthetic data where measured data is not available, for example when planning systems in remote areas. It can also be configured via a user-friendly interface (online or offline).

What examples are there of its use?

• PeopleSun project Load profile time series for Nigeria were generated with RAMP
• Enershelf Project

How can RAMP be used?

RAMP is written in the Python programming language and is freely available as open-source software under GitHub and EUPL v. 1.2 license
