Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-28T13:18:14Z

Samarth Kumar: /* 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!

== 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.

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.

Overview of models

2016-01-23T20:29:16Z

Samarth Kumar:

To-do list general:

*Standardization of answers (and maximum length for fields?)
*Possible gap-filling and cleaning up of answer (preferably done by authors)
*Adding/removing variables and possibly new tables ([[Special:ViewXML|here]] the raw XML can be found which shows which data is available) 
*Possibly add number of publications? On the one hand shows how established the model is, on the other hand doubtful if model pages are updated freuqently enough to be a reliable source 

 

=== Overview of models by institution, decisions and sectors ===

{{#ask: [[Category:Model]] | ?author_institution | ?decisions | ?sectors | format=table }}

=== Overview of models by purpose, scope and modelling type ===

{{#ask: [[Category:Model]] [[open_source_licensed :: true]] | ? sectors | ? model_class |? math_modeltype | ? timeresolution | ? georesolution | ? is_suited_for_many_scenarios| format = broadtable | mainlabel = Model }}

Todo

*Model class and sector are not very unified (e.g. compare "GAMS" and "Framework" both used as description of model class; electricity market, electricity sector, electricity all point to the same sector). Probably we should create new clearly defined categories with limited choices, or use existing ones more efficiently (Clear delineation between model class, Mathematical model type and implementing software)
*Possibly add modularisation as an option? 

=== Overview of models by type, software, implementation and processing ===

{{#ask: [[Category:Model]] [[open_source_licensed :: true]] | ? model_class | ? modelling_software |? processing_software | format = broadtable | mainlabel = Model }}

Todo, missing fields

*Is the modelling software stack open-source (e.g. GNU MathProg, OpenJDK), or at least freely available (Java). Different fields for modelling and processing software?

 

=== Overview of models by open-source license, data availability etc. ===

{{#ask: [[Category:Model]] [[open_source_licensed :: true]] | ? license | ? modelling_software |? model_source_public |? data_availability |? open_future | format = broadtable | mainlabel = Model }}
