Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-11T06:57:03Z

Lion Hirth: /* Model presentations */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

'''See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.'''

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Lion Hirth: /* Break out groups from last workshop */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-root organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-11T06:56:08Z

Lion Hirth: /* Break-out-groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

'''See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.'''

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-11T06:55:33Z

Lion Hirth: /* Programme */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

'''See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.'''

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T11:03:27Z

Lion Hirth: /* Programme */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

'''See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.'''

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T10:36:27Z

Lion Hirth: /* Proposed break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

'''See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.'''

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T08:37:57Z

Lion Hirth:

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream], and watch recordings of previous workshops.

== 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!

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T08:37:27Z

Lion Hirth: /* Model presentations */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream].

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T08:31:17Z

Lion Hirth: /* Programme */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream].

== 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!

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T08:24:23Z

Lion Hirth:

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

See [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KZW5drgvf22j8EqHxKLzw live-stream].

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T07:21:22Z

Lion Hirth: /* Model presentations */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T06:28:32Z

Lion Hirth: /* Proposed break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

== Break-out-groups ==

In parallel sessions, we break out into smaller groups to get work done. On the last workshop, we started drafting an article on open modelling, re-worked the openmod-website, compiled an overview of applicable licenses, and developed recommendations for power plant identifiers, among other things.

All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-09T21:42:56Z

Lion Hirth: /* Proposed break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-09T21:29:10Z

Lion Hirth: /* Proposed break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-04T16:50:30Z

Lion Hirth: /* Proposeld break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

After two workshops in Berlin, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.

== 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!

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.

== Model presentations ==

The goal of this session is to get a flavor what people do: What questions are they interested in? What kind of models they apply? Which software tools do they use? How do they interact with the modelling community? This is not about presenting a research paper or discussing in-depth modelling methodology. Not more than 2-3 slides per presentation.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

Lion Hirth: /* Proposals for break-out groups */

Welcome to the wiki page of the upcoming '''Third 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, we will be guest at Imperial College's [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham Grantham Institute]. The workshop takes place September 10/11. As always, there is no registration fee. 

It will be a ''work''-shop in the sense of the word, with only little time devoted to plenary presentation and most time to hands-on parallel sessions (break-out groups). This is a wiki page that will be updated frequently, and all participants are invited to contribute.
