CREST Demand Model

The model is an integrated thermal-electrical demand model based on a bottom-up activity-based structure, using stochastic programming techniques to represent dwelling diversity, producing calibrated and validated output at high-resolution, based on reduced-order thermal-electrical networks to represent thermal dynamics, and developed as free open-source software to promote transparency and further research.<br>Please note that there are some minor bugs in previous versions of the software (versions 2.3 and 2.3.1) that would cause small numerical errors and in some cases could stop the the programme working depending on the version of Excel used.<br>Version 2.1 of this model was uploaded on 1st December 2015.Version 2.2 of this model was uploaded on 19th April 2016.Version 2.3 of this model, now capable of modelling Indian households was uploaded on 5th February 2018Version 2.3.1 was uploaded on 2nd November 2018.Version 2.3.3 was uploaded on 15th May 2020.

本模型为一款集成热-电需求模型，基于自下而上活动驱动架构构建，采用随机规划技术表征住宅多样性，依托降阶热-电网络刻画热动力学特性以生成经过校准与验证的高分辨率结果，且作为免费开源软件开发，旨在提升研究透明度并推动后续相关研究。
请注意，该软件的2.3及2.3.1旧版本存在少量程序漏洞，会引发轻微数值误差，在部分场景下还会根据所使用的Excel版本导致程序无法运行。
