Projects & studies

Relevant work from the public portfolio, with each case study listed once.

Independent project · 2026 · Independent educational research software

OpenSteamOpt · Steam & power RTO

An open-source two-boiler steam-and-power twin with a carbon-aware Pyomo/HiGHS scheduler, OpenModelica FMI 2.0 simulation and a local Streamlit advisory GUI. Synthetic and uncalibrated; not an ABB product or live control system.

Independent project · 2026 · Independent exploratory research software

GB-FLEXABM · Electricity investment

Local electricity-investment GUI and shared Pyomo/HiGHS planner, with audited market coverage and 175 extracted public input references. Synthetic and uncalibrated; normalization, price-target decisions and weather conversion still gate historical fitting.

Scope & limitations

Mathematical optimisation, scenario comparison and business concepts are different kinds of evidence. Results depend on the documented inputs and constraints; they are not operational guarantees or investment advice.

This dossier groups related public records. It does not imply equal depth across every tool or independent validation of every result. Source case studies remain authoritative; restricted inputs and private documents are not included.
