<p><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I am new with Ipopt and would like to have some of your advices.<br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'd like to know if it is possible, and what would be the best option(s) to solve a maximization problem under constraints, where most variables are time dependent?<br>
The main inputs are real measures of the electricity consumption of a house (every 15min --> discontinuous and random function) and the electricity production with photovoltaic solar panels on its roof. There is
<span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a battery storage system that can be charged or used at a different rate for every time step, and accounting for economical variables, I'd like to find the best battery size to maximise the economic
gain of its user (over a certain period of time).</span><br>
<br>
Is it only possible with Ipopt ?<br>
If yes, are there any possibility to solve this with fully open source softwares (not like Matlab)?<br>
<br>
Thank you for your responses,<br>
<br>
