tsam is a python package which uses different machine learning algorithms for the aggregation of time series. The data aggregation can be performed in two freely combinable dimensions: By representing the time series by a user-defined number of typical periods or by decreasing the temporal resolution.
tsam was originally designed for reducing the computational load for large-scale energy system optimization models by aggregating their input data, but is applicable for all types of time series, e.g., weather data, load data, both simultaneously or other arbitrary groups of time series.

If you want to use tsam in a published work, **please kindly cite** our latest journal article "[**A Review on Time Series Aggregation Methods for Energy System Models**](https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/3/641)".

If you are further interested in the impact of time series aggregation on the cost-optimal results on different energy system use cases, you can find a publication which validates the methods and describes their cababilites via the following [**link**](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960148117309783). A second publication introduces a method how to model state variables (e.g. the state of charge of energy storage components) between the aggregated typical periods which can be found [**here**](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306261918300242). Finally yet importantly the potential of time series aggregation to simplify mixed integer linear problems is investigated [**here**](https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/12/14/2825).
