Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-21T12:16:19Z

Francesco Gardumi: /* Short talks and presentations */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 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! 

 

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

== Proposed Programme ==

YYY

 

 

== Breakout-groups ==

The workshop is organised from and for modellers and stakeholders of the open energy modelling community who want to exchange and discuss about energy models, code, data, licenses, transparency, making results understandable to stakeholders,...; if you are interested in a special subject you can propose a breakout group and find other participants who want to discuss the same subject.

Please use the google sheet for [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZYzmHimwBbj3sXgL-23oypjbKG55twm4eJYE6lCmc_M/edit#heading=h.2xxjmj2cprel breakout groups] to communicate your ideas for breakout groups or to add your name to a group that you would like to join. You can add suggestions for the content either in the table or as a comment.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-07-24T08:31:42Z

Francesco Gardumi: /* Participants */

'''[http://www.openmod-initiative.org/ openmod initiative main homepage]''' 

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!

After two extremely fruitful and encouraging workshops in Berlin ([[Founding workshop|Sept 2014]], [[2nd Open Energy Modelling Workshop|April 2015]]), we will have our next workshop in London with an even more international focus. The aim is to give researchers a chance to present their own contributions to the field of open energy modelling and data, as well as to provide a forum to exchange ideas and work on concrete projects of the openmod initiative and more generally in the field of open energy modelling and data.

'''In order to sign up, please register on the Wiki, scroll all the way down to the participant list and add yourself. Please also feel free to add an idea for a presentation to the list below or propose break out sessions. Finally, please [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative join our mailing list] to receive updates.'''

== Ideas for Presentations ==

*High Quality Wind Data for Energy Systems Models: Bias Correction and EU-wide Validation (Iain Staffell) 
*Renewables.ninja - an open access platform for solar and wind simulations (live walkthrough, Q&A) (Stefan Pfenninger) 
*The DESSTINEE Model for Demand for Energy Services, Supply and Transmission of Electricity IN EuropE, a simple open-source excel model for performing EU-wide electricity market simulations (Iain Staffell) 
*Using reanalysis data to design optimal portfolios of renewable energies for Brazil  (Johannes Schmidt)
*[add your idea here!]

 

 

 

== Ideas for break-out-groups ==

*Next generation climate models: applying higher resolution and future simulated time series to interesting energy problems 
**What modelling groups / data sets are there?
**What can and can't be answered with these?

*Establish a conference on (open) energy system modeling
**Possibility of organising an Openmod session at the 2016 London Energy Systems conference (Iain)

*Renewables.ninja hackathon (Stefan / Iain)
**What other simulation modules could be added to Renewables.ninja?
**What would people like to see / could they add (e.g. hydro resource, electricity demand, high resolution heat and transport demand, temperature, heating and cooling degree days, etc.)

*Use of models in government (ideally someone from DECC / Ofgem) 
**What are government agencies looking for?
**How to get open models into government processes - what is preventing their uptake?

*Use of models in industry (Catalina Spataru)
*Wiki model factsheet: which models are good for which task? (anybody interested in leading this?) 
**We have a growing list of models - can we create a guide on picking a model, for users that are looking to solve a specific problem?

*Weather data for energy modelling (Iain) 
**Bring together meteorologists who produce reanalyses and those who use this data for energy systems models 
**Brainstorm new applications or big questions that can be answered with this (perhaps with the aim of a joint paper / proposal)

*Modelling energy storage and demand-side response (Paul D)
**Probably the most difficult set of technologies to model and understand
**Generally modelled badly or not at all by energy system models
**DSR is ignored by many models

*'''[Add your ideas here!]'''
