Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Tech talks */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Break-out-groups */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-05-03T09:10:38Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Registration */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-05-03T09:10:09Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Participants */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-05-03T09:09:16Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Short talks and presentations */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

 

 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

== Break-out-groups ==

A break-out-group is a workshop-like gathering of interested individuals for a timespan of 2-3 hours to actively discuss a common topic. All groups feature 1-2 organisers whose responsibility is to moderate the discussion and capture any results in written form (preferably in a shared Google Document [for easier simultaneous editing of all participants]).

The Third Workshop featured a total 22 break-out groups, which were considered too numerous in hindsight. At the same time, the breadth of covered topics. This section is the attempt to bundle similar break-out-group topics under more general labels to reduce the number of groups, while keeping their total scope as broad as possible.

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-28T13:49:26Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Proposed Break-out Groups by Session */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

 

 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Country-specific policies and targets */

This is work in progress and supposed to become a link list to sources of open energy related data. We focus on collecting links to data relevant for the modelling of energy and electricity systems and markets. You are welcome to fill in the missing spots and non-existing pages. Also, you are welcome to extend the list of relevant data that we should collect links to in the future. 

= Open data sources for energy modelling =

Open datasets related to energy are listed here by type.

== Electricity demand ==

See [[Electricity demand|Electricity demand]]

== Heating demand ==

TODO

== Transport demand ==

TODO

== Power Plants ==

See [[Power plant portfolios|Power plant portfolios]]

== Weather data ==

Weather data can be used to generate profiles for wind, solar and hydro power plants.

*OPSD summaries [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#Weather_data Weather data sources]

*[http://www.cosmo-model.org/ COSMO (Consortium for Small-scale Modelling)], simulation model for weather in Europe, used for the official weather forecasts. The model is free to use for research applications. You may have a chance to get data directly from national weather services or participating universities/institutions and thus avoid having to run it yourself. For Germany, the current resolution is 2.8 km.
*[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds094.1/ National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System (CFS)], worldwide hourly reanalysis weather data, currently 0.2 deg spatial resolution. You need an account to get access to the downloads, but as the data is from a public US institution, it is free.

=== Projects to turn weather data into renewable power availability time series ===

Various projects exist that transform weather data into power availability time series for different solar/wind power plant model types, such as the [http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3353 Aarhus University RE Atlas] or the [https://github.com/oemof/feedinlib oemof feedinlib] or [http://renewables.ninja/ renewables.ninja].

== Wind profiles ==

== Wind geographical potentials ==

See [[Wind geographical potentials|Wind geographical potentials]]

== Hydroelectricity data ==

See [[Hydroelectricity data|Hydroelectricity data]]

== Transmission network datasets ==

See [[Transmission network datasets|Transmission network datasets]]

== Distribution network datasets ==

It would be useful to have reference datasets of e.g. distribution networks in the city/suburb/countryside for different regions of the world.

 

== Costs ==

"Recent cost estimates for distributed generation (DG) renewable energy technologies are available across capital costs, operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Use the tabs below to navigate the charts. The LCOE tab provides a simple calculator for both utility-scale and DG technologies that compares the combination of capital costs, O&M, performance, and fuel costs. If you are seeking utility-scale technology cost and performance estimates, please visit the Transparent Cost Database website for NREL's information regarding vehicles, biofuels, and electricity generation."

[http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/tech_cost_data.html http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/tech_cost_data.html]

TODO: capital, variable and fixed operational and maintenance costs of all generation, transmission etc. technologies.

Historical and projected GHG emission costs.

 

 

== Demographic and Socio-Economic Data ==

TODO: population trends, GDP trends.

== Environmental data ==

TODO: biodiversity, health impacts, water extraction, water use.

== Historical data ==

TODO: historical data on load, generation, emissions, market prices, etc.

== Country-specific policies and targets ==

TODO GHG emissions targets, renewable share targets, sector-specific targets, subsidy schemes for renewables, criteria for power plant siting (e.g. exclusion zones for wind turbines).

= Data sharing techniques =

The Open Knowledge foundation promotes the use of its '''[http://data.okfn.org/ data package]''' standard. It consists of using CSV for payload (data) and a file package.json to attach machine-readable metadata. The page links to many examples of existing, curated and maintained datasets that adhere to this standard. Additionally, they drive the creation of a software ecosystem that can create and digest this format. Due to its simplicity, using data packages does not depend on this ecosystem. 

'''GitHub repositories''' are another pragmatic way of sharing "small" (up to about 10 MB) datasets. A fun example is the [http://bundestag.github.io/gesetze/ Bundesgit], a collection of all German federal laws under version control. New laws or modfications are tracked as commits, allowing to "see" how a dataset -- laws, in that case -- evolve over time. The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data. 

An upcoming and (technically) promising project is '''[http://dat-data.com/ dat]''', which "is a version-controlled, decentralized data tool for collaboration between data people and data systems." Or, simply: Git for data. It is currently in public beta test, but has come a long way already.

After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

 

 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

== Break-out-groups ==

A break-out-group is a workshop-like gathering of interested individuals for a timespan of 2-3 hours to actively discuss a common topic. All groups feature 1-2 organisers whose responsibility is to moderate the discussion and capture any results in written form (preferably in a shared Google Document [for easier simultaneous editing of all participants]).

The Third Workshop featured a total 22 break-out groups, which were considered too numerous in hindsight. At the same time, the breadth of covered topics. This section is the attempt to bundle similar break-out-group topics under more general labels to reduce the number of groups, while keeping their total scope as broad as possible.

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-26T08:06:40Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Proposed break-out-groups */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

 

 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

== Break-out-groups ==

A break-out-group is a workshop-like gathering of interested individuals for a timespan of 2-3 hours to actively discuss a common topic. All groups feature 1-2 organisers whose responsibility is to moderate the discussion and capture any results in written form (preferably in a shared Google Document [for easier simultaneous editing of all participants]).

The Third Workshop featured a total 22 break-out groups, which were considered too numerous in hindsight. At the same time, the breadth of covered topics. This section is the attempt to bundle similar break-out-group topics under more general labels to reduce the number of groups, while keeping their total scope as broad as possible.

Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

== Break-out-groups ==

A break-out-group is a workshop-like gathering of interested individuals for a timespan of 2-3 hours to actively discuss a common topic. All groups feature 1-2 organisers whose responsibility is to moderate the discussion and capture any results in written form (preferably in a shared Google Document [for easier simultaneous editing of all participants]).

The Third Workshop featured a total 22 break-out groups, which were considered too numerous in hindsight. At the same time, the breadth of covered topics. This section is the attempt to bundle similar break-out-group topics under more general labels to reduce the number of groups, while keeping their total scope as broad as possible.

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-26T07:58:01Z

Abhishek Shivakumar: /* Proposed Programme */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fourth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin and one in London, the next one will be in '''Stockholm, Sweden hosted by [http://www.kth.se/en/itm/inst/energiteknik/forskning/desa/welcome-to-the-unit-of-energy-systems-analysis-kth-desa-1.197296/ KTH]'''.The workshop takes place on '''28-29 April, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

 

 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!

=== Finding topics for break-out-groups ===

This table is an attempt to map the [[Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015|Break-out-groups from the Third Workshop]] to a smaller number of covered topics.

=== Proposed break-out-groups ===

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''

#'''Open Data '''Most probable candidate for splitting in 2-3 different groups: covers data publishing (where and how), data acquisition (from where and how) and possibly data processing
#'''Modelling'''    (Mathematical) modelling techniques, algorithms, basically all conceptual work that is independent from the actual implementation (cf. '''Coding''').
#'''Tech'''    similar to '''Modelling''', but more focused on the specifics of specific technologies like fluctuating renewables, power grid, power plants (generators, turbines, ...). Probable candidate for splitting, if many participants with divergent interests come together
#'''Coding     '''software frameworks for modelling, data processing, optimisation, data visualisation; ask for tips, share tricks, present possibly helpful new stuff; possible split: introductory "course"-style group and a more advanced "sharing of experience"-style group
#'''Publishing'''    is about (Open Access|Traditional|Other) methods of publishing one's research
#'''Licensing'''    as about license questions for choosing the "right" license for one's own published works or for how to comply with the licenses of others' works. Possible overlap with '''Open Data'''
#'''Outreach'''    is about increasing awareness for open (energy) modelling community with Openmod as a common banner. This includes discussing the common mid- and long-term goals, presenting the current progress
#'''Visibility'''    is about increasing the reach of one's individual/institute's reach through various means. Possible overlap with '''Publishing'''

This list is of course open to discussion and change! '''Be bold''' and edit, suggest and edit on the talk page or the Openmod mailing list (currently the organisation of the break-out-groups is done on the googledoc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVM-eJBn9aYTW8ectX2hZ0QC3WesyInrtvWoMFRkiW4/edit#]). In the end, the existence of a break-out-groups lives and dies with people interested in discussing the proposed topics.
