topotherm is a pyomo-based open-source optimization model for district heating network design.

Intro

Topotherm is a pyomo-based mixed-integer linear programming district heating network design model which scales well into larger districts for single and multiple time steps. It has been benchmarked against multiple other open-source models in a publication available at:
