Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-06-08T06:53:45Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Day 3 : Friday 8 June 2018 */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

The venue is at '''Universitätstrasse 16'''. Signs will point you to the right place from the main entrance to the CHN building at Universitätstrasse 16.

Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in  groups on do-a-thons addressing specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Do-a-thons should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-06-05T16:04:35Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Practical information */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

The venue is at '''Universitätstrasse 16'''. Signs will point you to the right place from the main entrance to the CHN building at Universitätstrasse 16.

Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in  groups on do-a-thons addressing specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Do-a-thons should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Day 1 : Wednesday 6 June 2018 */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

The venue is at '''Universitätstrasse 16'''. Signs will point you to the right place from the main entrance to the CHN building at Universitätstrasse 16.

Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in  groups on do-a-thons addressing specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Do-a-thons should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

*give a '''lightning talk''' to teach others about an interesting tool, method or workflow, or to share an update about new developments in open science more broadly; 
*propose and help organise a '''do-a-thon''' for us to work on together during the workshop.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-06-04T10:29:04Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Day 2 : Thursday 7 June 2018 */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

The venue is at '''Universitätstrasse 16'''. Signs will point you to the right place from the main entrance to the CHN building at Universitätstrasse 16.

Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-06-01T12:59:22Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Day 3 : Friday 8 June 2018 */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

The venue is at '''Universitätstrasse 16'''. Signs will point you to the right place from the main entrance to the CHN building at Universitätstrasse 16.

Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-06-01T11:54:40Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Day 1 : Wednesday 6 June 2018 */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

This wiki page will continue to be updated with more information as the programme is developed. Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

2018-03-12T13:12:11Z

Stefan Pfenninger:

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

This wiki page will continue to be updated with more information as the programme is developed. Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

== Day 1: Optional Tutorials (Wednesday 19th April 2017) ==

On the day before the main official workshop, optional tutorials will be organised for students new to scientific computing and energy system modelling.

The tutorials will be split into two streams "General Scientific Computing" (entry-level git, Python) and "Advanced Topics" (Geographical Information Systems (GIS), visualisation, optimisation, energy system modelling). Each stream will take place in separate rooms at FIAS, each of which has a maximum of 20 places available.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-04T14:16:28Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Advanced Topics */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming Sixth Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Frankfurt, Germany''' hosted by the [https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/ Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies] (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''20-21 April 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on 19 April 2017. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. 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.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

== Day 1: Optional Tutorials (Wednesday 19th April 2017) ==

On the day before the main official workshop, optional tutorials will be organised for students new to scientific computing and energy system modelling.

The tutorials will be split into two streams "General Scientific Computing" (entry-level git, Python) and "Advanced Topics" (Geographical Information Systems (GIS), visualisation, optimisation, energy system modelling). Each stream will take place in separate rooms at FIAS, each of which has a maximum of 20 places available.

 

=== General Scientific Computing Entry Level ===

Room: Seminar Room 0.101

'''Installation instructions:''' 

#Install the Anaconda Python distribution: [https://conda.io/docs/using/envs.html#use-environment-from-file https://conda.io/docs/using/envs.html#use-environment-from-file] 
#'''For the visualisation tutorial'''
##Make sure all the packages in the environment.yml file available here are installed. The easiest way to do that is to create a new environment with the conda package manager included in Anaconda (see [https://conda.io/docs/using/envs.html https://conda.io/docs/using/envs.html]) by running the following command in a command-line window in the same directory where you downloaded environment.yml: "conda env create -f requirements.yml". This will create a new environment called "vis-tutorial" which you can activate with "source activate vis-tutorial" (on Linux/macOS) or "activate vis-tutorial" (on Windows).
##Download these three files onto your computer: http://data.open-power-system-data.org/time_series/2017-03-06/time_series_60min_singleindex.csv, http://data.open-power-system-data.org/conventional_power_plants/2017-03-03/conventional_power_plants_DE.csv, http://data.open-power-system-data.org/conventional_power_plants/2017-03-03/conventional_power_plants_EU.csv

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-04T14:13:45Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* Advanced Topics */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming Sixth Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Frankfurt, Germany''' hosted by the [https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/ Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies] (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''20-21 April 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on 19 April 2017. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. 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.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-28T13:17:09Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* 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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Stockholm 2016

2016-04-28T13:15:55Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* 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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

2015-09-10T15:14:03Z

Stefan Pfenninger: /* 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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015

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.

== 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.
