Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-08-21T14:55:42Z

Paul Deane:

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.

== 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.

 

=== Proposals for break-out groups ===

The break out groups are currently being consolidated in the following Google Docs document:

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Hs_JuK56fV9xUVqrWg3zAp-RepjSSA37mj5JfdCbSg/edit#heading=h.8xn9p9kiati3 https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Hs_JuK56fV9xUVqrWg3zAp-RepjSSA37mj5JfdCbSg/edit#heading=h.8xn9p9kiati3]

Please fill in the missing spots there!

= North-West EU 2020 Model =

This is an open access Excel database of a North-West European Power System for a sample year 2020. Data and files were collected and complied by researchers at University College Cork, Ireland.

Simplified Power plant portfolios are contained in the *.rar file below  [Master Dataset for Distribution] 

An associated functioning PLEXOS model and database  for teaching and academic research is also provided. The model and model data should be checked and verified by users before use. This current version has not been validated against historic data. 

The PLEXOS model includes hourly wind profiles, demand profiles profiles, simplified power plant data, hourly solar profiles and NTC data for Interconnectors. There is  a *.xml file [EU Model Carbon _30] which will function in the PLEXOS for Power Systems Software available from Energy Exemplar. 

Any improvements/errors or suggestions on the data or model can be sent to Paul Deane [ jp.deane@ucc.ie]. This is a market model based on freely available data for the year 2020.
