sco2es is intended for modeling of energy storage for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂)
packed bed thermal energy storage systems. This work is based on the model detailed by Battisti et al.1.

sco2es uses Numba for optimization of functions and utilizes NumPy's linear algebra routines
and SciPy's sparse linear algebra routines. For optimal performance, a version of SciPy built against a well
optimized LAPACK/BLAS library is required. Therefore, it is recommended to run this code using the
Anaconda distribution of SciPy, which is built against Intel’s MKL2.
