The paper by Kotzur, Markewitz, Robinius, and Stolten is amongst the most cited ones regarding the simplification of ESOMs, by reducing their temporal resolution. Existing open-source ESOMs, like Calliope or PyPSA, build upon their proposed formulations1.
Refer to “the art of temporal gymnastics”, which contains further thoughts (and links) related to similar approaches.
