<hr />
<div>This is work in progress and supposed to become a link list to sources of open energy related data. We focus on collecting links to data relevant for the modelling of energy and electricity systems and markets. You are welcome to fill in the missing spots and non-existing pages. Also, you are welcome to extend the list of relevant data that we should collect links to in the future.<br/><br />
<br />
= Open data sources for energy modelling =<br />
<br />
Open datasets related to energy are listed here by type.<br />
<br />
== Electricity demand ==<br />
<br />

== Weather data ==<br />
<br />
Weather data can be used to generate profiles for wind, solar and hydro power plants. Re-analysis or “hindcast”&nbsp;projects use state-of the art weather forecast models with long time series of weather observations. They create consistent&nbsp;series of weather data, often of decades and with a global scope. [http://reanalyses.org/ Reanalysis.org]&nbsp;and [https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data NCAR] provide a helpful overview of re-analysis models. Data are usually provided in GRIB or NetCDF format and can be very large in size (100s of GB).<br />
<br />
*OPSD compiled a [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#9_Weather_data list of weather data sources] and provides [http://data.open-power-system-data.org/weather_data a script] to download&nbsp; customized subsets of the MERRA-2 dataset<br />
*[https://renewables.ninja Renewables.ninja] allows users to download weather data (wind speed, solar irradiance, temperature) for specific locations based on MERRA-2 and satellite imaging data.<br />
*The Hans-Ertel-Centre for Weather Research has published two preliminary reanalysis [https://www.herz-tb4.uni-bonn.de/index.php/projectdata/reanalysisdata data sets] (COSMO-REA6 and COSMO-REA2) containing the most often requested variables that may be used without any restrictions<br />
*[http://www.cosmo-model.org/ COSMO (Consortium for Small-scale Modelling)], simulation model for weather in Europe, used for the official weather forecasts. The model is free to use for research applications<br />
<br />
You may have a chance to get data directly from national weather services or participating universities/institutions and thus avoid having to run it yourself. For Germany, the current resolution is 2.8 km.<br />
<br />
*The Climate Data Center (CDC) of the German Weather Service (DWD) has puslished [ftp://ftp-cdc.dwd.de/pub/CDC/ a dataset] of<br/><br />
**observed parameters from DWD stations,<br />
**derived parameters at the station locations,<br />
**gridded fields covering Germany,<br />
**regional averages for Germany and its federal states,<br />
**gridded fields covering Europe,<br />
**global climate station data<br />
**available at hourly, daily, monthly, annual or multi-annual resolution.<br />
**The data is useable without restrictions provided the source "Deutscher Wetterdienst" is mentioned.<br/><br />
<br />
*[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds094.1/ National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System (CFS)], worldwide hourly reanalysis weather data, currently 0.2 deg spatial resolution. You need an account to get access to the downloads, but as the data is from a public US institution, it is free.<br />
<br />
=== Projects to turn weather data into renewable power availability time series ===<br />
<br />
Various projects exist that transform weather data into power availability time series for different solar/wind power plant model types, such as the [http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3353 Aarhus University RE Atlas] or the [https://github.com/oemof/feedinlib oemof feedinlib] or [https://renewables.ninja/ renewables.ninja].<br />

<br />
= Data sharing techniques =<br />
<br />
The Open Knowledge foundation promotes the use of its '''[http://data.okfn.org/ data package]''' standard. It consists of using CSV for payload (data) and a file package.json to attach machine-readable metadata. The page links to many examples of existing, curated and maintained datasets that adhere to this standard. Additionally, they drive the creation of a software ecosystem that can create and digest this format. Due to its simplicity, using data packages does not depend on this ecosystem.<br />
<br />
'''GitHub repositories''' are another pragmatic way of sharing "small" (up to about 10 MB) datasets. A fun example is the [http://bundestag.github.io/gesetze/ Bundesgit], a collection of all German federal laws under version control. New laws or modfications are tracked as commits, allowing to "see" how a dataset -- laws, in that case -- evolve over time. The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data.<br />
<br />
An upcoming and (technically) promising project is '''[http://dat-data.com/ dat]''', which "is a version-controlled, decentralized data tool for collaboration between data people and data systems." Or, simply: Git for data. It is currently in public beta test, but has come a long way already.<br />

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!<br/><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
= About the workshop =<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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!<br/><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
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!<br />

== Break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
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]).<br />
<br />
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.<br />

With the previous mapping at hand, one could therefore propose the following topics. ''This list is open to discussion!''<br />

<br/><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">[[Events|Back to events overview]]</span></div>Iain Staffellhttps://wiki.openmod-initiative.org/wiki/Data_requirements_for_a_European_energy_system_modelData requirements for a European energy system model2016-04-28T08:35:20Z<p>Iain Staffell: /* Work To Do */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
This page describes the datasets which are required and/or already exist to build an open model the European energy system (electricity, heating, cooling, industry and transport demand) at a high spatial and temporal resolution.<br />
<br />
The idea is to list the basic requirements for open modelling, so that researchers can collaborate and share the burden of data collection/curation. Once the dataset meets basic requirements, further detail can be added to the datasets.<br />
<br />
The level of detail which is initially aimed at is comparable to that found for example in the [[Transmission network datasets#DIW ELMOD-DE open model of Germany|DIW Germany electricity sector model ELMOD-DE]] or the [[Transmission network datasets#SciGRID|unofficial SciGRID-based Germany electricity sector model]], i.e. hourly temporal resolution and a spatial resolution at the level of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics NUTS 3] regions / electricity substations with voltages above 200 kV.<br />
<br />
Once this level of detail is achieved, higher resolution data (e.g. detailed ramp rates, start-up/shut-down costs, lower voltage networks, etc.) can be included.<br />
<br />
The geographical scope is flexible, but in principle it should cover the ENTSO-E countries and possibly also neighbours. The general data requirements also apply for any other region of the planet.<br />
<br />
The temporal scope should include several sample years, so that typical as well as extreme load/weather events are included.<br />
<br />
The intention is to build a dataset that can be used for diverse research questions, including analysis of current energy usage and future energy system development.<br />
<br />
The dataset should be completely transparent from raw input data (e.g. weather data, national curated datasets on power plants) to model input data, with free software used whenever data is processed (see the nice picture in the [http://openmod-initiative.org/manifesto.html openmod manifesto]).<br />
<br />
See also [[Data|Data]].<br />
<br />
= Electricity demand =<br />
<br />
<br />
== Bottom-up approach ==<br />
<br />
In an ideal world, one would build a bottom-up model of industrial and residential demand profiles to build time series for each and every region (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics NUTS 3] regions), which could then be validated against historical data. This bottom-up model could then be re-run to include future changes to electrical demand, such as increased presence of heat pumps, electric vehicles and other changes to consumption.<br />
<br />
The [[DESSTinEE|DESSTinEE model]] performs all these taks at the national level for Europe, and could be used as a framework to base this from?<br />
<br />
<br />
== Simple top-down approach ==<br />
<br />
The simplest alternative is to use the historical hourly time series from ENTSO-E for each country and model the geographical distribution of each country's demand based on GDP and population in each [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics NUTS 3] region. This approach excludes the possibility that different regions within a country have different load profiles.<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Build a validated bottom-up model of electrical demand.<br />
<br />
Identify where the NUTS 3 GDP and population data is for all European countries.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
The information for the simplest alternative already exists online in an open form.<br />
<br />
= Heating demand =<br />
<br />
Heating demand here means low temperature heating demand (below 100 degrees Celsius) for water and space heating.<br />
<br />
== Degree-day approach ==<br />
<br />
As a simplest assumption, this can be modelled based on temperature and population/GDP distribution using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day degree-day] heating demand approximation.<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Build a standard reference dataset for heat demand at high resolution.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
The information for the simplest alternative (i.e. temperature time series) already exists online in an open form.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
= Cooling demand =<br />
<br />
Since almost all cooling is powered using electricity, cooling is already included in the electricity demand.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
= Industry demand =<br />
<br />
Here is meant non-electrical industrial energy usage, particularly high temperature heating demand for industrial processes.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
= Transport demand =<br />
<br />
People (passenger-km) versus cargo (tonne-km) transport demand.<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Literature review.<br />
<br />
= Energy Efficiency =<br />
<br />
Many modelling efforts target reduced emissions from greenhouse gases. Promoting energy efficiency can be one of the most effective ways of reducing emissions.<br />
<br />
The goal would be collect information on the costs of increasing efficiency and lowering energy demand, e.g. by retrofitting buildings with better heat insulation, replacing inefficient electric devices, etc.<br />
<br />
The [http://e3p-beta.jrc.nl/ European Energy Efficiency Platform] may be useful.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Literature review.<br />
<br />
<br />
= Weather data for availability of wind/water/solar power plants =<br />
<br />
== Reanalysis weather data ==<br />
<br />
For sources of reanalysis data, see the [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#Weather_data OPSD weather data list].<br />
<br />
== Projects to turn weather data into power availability ==<br />
<br />
Various projects exist that transform weather data into power availability time series for different solar/wind power plant model types, such as the [http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3353 Aarhus University RE Atlas] or the [https://github.com/oemof/feedinlib oemof feedinlib] or [http://renewables.ninja/ renewables.ninja].<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Hydroelectricity inflow data ==<br />
<br />
See [[Hydroelectricity data#Hydroelectric inflow time series data|Hydroelectricity data#Hydroelectric inflow time series data]].<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
There is no big database / interfaced website for generating big sets of time series, which all runs on free software.<br />
<br />
Too much work requires downloading/writing specialised software.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
Data is openly available, accessing and processing it still requires specialist knowledge.<br />
<br />
= Electricity network =<br />
<br />
== SciGRID / GridKit / OpenStreetMap datasets ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap] could be used to extract information on where transmission lines are in Europe and what their voltage/circuit/wire configuration is.<br />
<br />
The [[Transmission network datasets#GridKit European Dataset|GridKit European Dataset]] already provides an extract of this information, but it needs post-processing/cleaning to turn it into an electrical network model.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Open data, no licencing issues, transparency, no worries about deliberate distortion, methodology easily extends to any part of the planet<br />
<br />
Disadvantage: Data quality/completeness: OSM doesn't yet always list numbers of circuits/wires/voltages accurately, so data quality needs to be improved; currently heuristics must be used to infer the grid topology, i.e. how everything connects together.<br />
<br />
== ENTSO-E interactive map ==<br />
<br />
[[Transmission network datasets#ENTSO-E Interactive Grid Map|ENTSO-E Interactive Grid Map]]<br />
<br />
Extract grid topology, geodata and numbers of circuits from the ENTSO-E interactive map.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Source ENTSO-E is eminently citable.<br />
<br />
Disadvantage: Copyright clearly belongs to ENTSO-E, so dataset is not open, although the code to extract and process it could be; the data is deliberately distorted.<br />
<br />
== Bialek model ==<br />
<br />
[[Transmission network datasets#Bialek European Model|Bialek Continental Europe Model]]<br />
<br />
This model already exists and their are geo-referenced versions of varying quality.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Public domain licence, model has electrical properties<br />
<br />
Disadvantage: Non-algorithmic origin based on manual matching with ENTSO-E map; only covers continental Europe (old UCTE area)<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Turn GridKit European model into an electrical network model.<br />
<br />
Turn the ENTSO-E interactive map into an electrical network model.<br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Gas network =<br />
<br />
Read ENTSO-G map?<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Work out what data is out there and who has the rights to it.<br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Heating network =<br />
<br />
District heating network, location of CHP plants, etc.<br />
<br />
= Power plant database =<br />
<br />
There are several open databases of power plants: [http://globalenergyobservatory.org/ GEO], Enipedia, CAMRA, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, some of which, e.g. Enipedia, already link nicely to other databases.<br />
<br />
See also [[Power plant portfolios|Power plant portfolios]].<br />
<br />
Many network operators/regulators have online datasets, see the [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#Other_European_countries OPSD list of European countries with power plant databases]<br />
<br />
Enipedia has a nice [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/wiki/Energy_and_Industry_Data_Sets list of energy and industry data sets]<br />
<br />
And some commercial ones: Platts<br />
<br />
Enipedia's [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/Elasticsearch.html Elastic Search] can search most of the open databases - the challenge is to match the different databases, combine their information and identify missing data (e.g. in the Balkans).<br />
<br />
== Large conventional power plants ==<br />
<br />
Replicate BNetzA list for whole of Europe.<br />
<br />
== Small renewable power plants ==<br />
<br />
Should approach completeness of German old EEG-Stammdaten.<br />
<br />
== Hydroelectric power plants ==<br />
<br />
Requires additional information on storage dam / pondage volumes, etc.<br />
<br />
See [[Hydroelectricity data#European datasets|Hydroelectricity data#European datasets]]<br />
<br />
== Combined-Heat-and-Power plants ==<br />
<br />
Requires information on heat output, whether the dispatch is electricity- or heat-driven.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Work out which datasets have what coverage and identify holes.<br />
<br />
Work to link the datasets, e.g. using Enipedia's [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/Elasticsearch.html Elastic Search] so that datasets can be cross-fertilised and cross-checked. Enipedia could act as a repository of links to the various open databases, i.e. for each power plant (defined as a collection of blocks) you can link/reference each openly available database and choose your preferred source.<br />
<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Geographical potentials for new power plants =<br />
<br />
To model investment in the future power system, one must know where there is land/resources available to build new power plants.<br />
<br />
Onshore wind: must respect current land usage, nature reserves and minimum distances from properties.<br />
<br />
Offshore wind: must respect nature reserves, sea depth, shipping lanes.<br />
<br />
Solar Photovoltaics: cannot build in e.g. forest.<br />
<br />
Hydroelectricity: restricted by various land usages.<br />
<br />
Gas power plants: may be restricted by gas network avaiability.<br />
<br />
== Bottom-up approach ==<br />
<br />
Example for wind turbines: look at each country's rules / minimum distance regulations and look in detail at where buildings are and compute where each and every possible wind turbine could go.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Approximate approach ==<br />
<br />
Use CORINE landcover and other databases of nature reserves to get a coarse-grained potential.<br />
<br />
See [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wi3rIjEU5emKm-rxGT3ED9DnSDdkEGZYD3zdYcebKFc/edit Wind Potentials Breakout Group Report] from the [[Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015|Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015]].<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Build software for CORINE/nature reserves overlaps.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
Lots of work to do.<br />
<br />
= Costs and Learning Curves =<br />
<br />
Build a database of different cost assumptions and learning curves for all generation technologies (capital, fuel and operating and maintenance costs), network technologies (transmission lines, transformers, gas, pipelines) and other technologies (Demand-Side Management, Dynamic Line Rating, etc.).<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Literature review.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
Lots of research papers and studies document their cost assumptions; this needs to be collated into consistent datasets.<br />
<br />
= Software for modelling =<br />
<br />

== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Gas network =<br />
<br />
Read ENTSO-G map?<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Work out what data is out there and who has the rights to it.<br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Heating network =<br />
<br />
District heating network, location of CHP plants, etc.<br />
<br />
= Power plant database =<br />
<br />
There are several open databases of power plants: [http://globalenergyobservatory.org/ GEO], Enipedia, CAMRA, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, some of which, e.g. Enipedia, already link nicely to other databases.<br />
<br />
See also [[Power plant portfolios|Power plant portfolios]].<br />
<br />
Many network operators/regulators have online datasets, see the [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#Other_European_countries OPSD list of European countries with power plant databases]<br />
<br />
Enipedia has a nice [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/wiki/Energy_and_Industry_Data_Sets list of energy and industry data sets]<br />
<br />
And some commercial ones: Platts<br />
<br />
Enipedia's [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/Elasticsearch.html Elastic Search] can search most of the open databases - the challenge is to match the different databases, combine their information and identify missing data (e.g. in the Balkans).<br />
<br />
== Large conventional power plants ==<br />
<br />
Replicate BNetzA list for whole of Europe.<br />
<br />
== Small renewable power plants ==<br />
<br />
Should approach completeness of German old EEG-Stammdaten.<br />
<br />
== Hydroelectric power plants ==<br />
<br />
Requires additional information on storage dam / pondage volumes, etc.<br />
<br />
See [[Hydroelectricity data#European datasets|Hydroelectricity data#European datasets]]<br />
<br />
== Combined-Heat-and-Power plants ==<br />
<br />
Requires information on heat output, whether the dispatch is electricity- or heat-driven.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Work out which datasets have what coverage and identify holes.<br />
<br />
Work to link the datasets, e.g. using Enipedia's [http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/Elasticsearch.html Elastic Search] so that datasets can be cross-fertilised and cross-checked. Enipedia could act as a repository of links to the various open databases, i.e. for each power plant (defined as a collection of blocks) you can link/reference each openly available database and choose your preferred source.<br />
<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Still needs lots of work.<br />
<br />
= Geographical potentials for new power plants =<br />
<br />
To model investment in the future power system, one must know where there is land/resources available to build new power plants.<br />
<br />
Onshore wind: must respect current land usage, nature reserves and minimum distances from properties.<br />
<br />
Offshore wind: must respect nature reserves, sea depth, shipping lanes.<br />
<br />
Solar Photovoltaics: cannot build in e.g. forest.<br />
<br />
Hydroelectricity: restricted by various land usages.<br />
<br />
Gas power plants: may be restricted by gas network avaiability.<br />
<br />
== Bottom-up approach ==<br />
<br />
Example for wind turbines: look at each country's rules / minimum distance regulations and look in detail at where buildings are and compute where each and every possible wind turbine could go.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Approximate approach ==<br />
<br />
Use CORINE landcover and other databases of nature reserves to get a coarse-grained potential.<br />
<br />
See [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wi3rIjEU5emKm-rxGT3ED9DnSDdkEGZYD3zdYcebKFc/edit Wind Potentials Breakout Group Report] from the [[Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015|Open Energy Modelling Workshop - London 2015]].<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Build software for CORINE/nature reserves overlaps.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
Lots of work to do.<br />
<br />
= Costs and Learning Curves =<br />
<br />
Build a database of different cost assumptions and learning curves for all generation technologies (capital, fuel and operating and maintenance costs), network technologies (transmission lines, transformers, gas, pipelines) and other technologies (Demand-Side Management, Dynamic Line Rating, etc.).<br />
<br />
== Work To Do ==<br />
<br />
Literature review.<br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />
<br />
Lots of research papers and studies document their cost assumptions; this needs to be collated into consistent datasets.<br />
<br />
= Software for modelling =<br />
<br />

<br />
== Background&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Model presentations<br/> ==<br />
<br />
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.<br/><br />

== Break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.<br />

== Background&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Model presentations<br/> ==<br />
<br />
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.<br/><br />

== Break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
=== Proposals for break-out groups ===<br />
<br />
The break out groups are currently being consolidated in the following Google Docs document:<br />

== Background&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Model presentations<br/> ==<br />
<br />
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.<br/><br />

== Break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
=== Proposals for break-out groups ===<br />
<br />
The break out groups are currently being consolidated in the following Google Docs document:<br />

== Model presentations<br/> ==<br />
<br />
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.<br/><br />

== Break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
All groups report back to the plenary and document their work.<br />
<br />

<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

== Ideas for Presentations ==<br />
<br />
If you would like to make a presentation at the workshop, please add your name and proposed title to the list below.&nbsp; All suggestions are welcome!<br />
<br />
*High Quality Wind Data for Energy Systems Models: Bias Correction and EU-wide Validation (Iain Staffell)<br/><br />
*Renewables.ninja - an open access platform for solar and wind simulations (live walkthrough, Q&A) (Stefan Pfenninger)<br />
*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)<br />
*Using reanalysis data to design optimal portfolios of renewable energies for Brazil&nbsp; (Johannes Schmidt)<br />
*[https://github.com/tum-ens/urbs urbs] and [https://github.com/ojdo/rivus rivus], two energy system optimisation models based on the Python/Pyomo/Pandas stack. One year of development and (new) user experiences.<br />
*The design of NEMO, an open source electricity modelling tool (Ben Elliston, remote presentation)<br />
*Presentation of the open source network model SciGRID: lessons learned so far (Wided Medjroubi, NEXT ENERGY)<br />
*Introduction and lessons learned from the development of Tools for Energy Model Optimization and Analysis (Temoa), or uncertainty analysis with Temoa (Joe DeCarolis, likely remote)<br />
*Brief Overview of the LEAP software system. &nbsp;LEAP is a software tool for integrated energy planning and climate change mitigation scenario analysis used by a few thousand people in 190+ countries &nbsp;([http://www.energycommunity.org http://www.energycommunity.org]). &nbsp;NB: LEAP is not open source yet but I am considering making it so in the future and would really value hearing the experience and wisdom of this group. &nbsp;Charlie Heaps - LEAP Developer - Stockholm Environment Institute.<br />
<br />
<br/><br />
<br />
== Ideas for break-out-groups ==<br />
<br />
If you would like to discuss a topic at the workshop, please add your name and proposed theme to the list below.&nbsp; Please feel free to add to existing topics or suggest your own - all suggestions are welcome!<br />
<br />
*Next generation climate models: applying higher resolution and future simulated time series to interesting energy problems<br/><br />
**What modelling groups / data sets are there?<br />
**What can and can't be answered with these?<br/><br />
<br />
*Establish a conference on (open) energy system modeling<br />
**Possibility of organising an Openmod session at the 2016 London Energy Systems conference (Iain)<br />
<br />
*Renewables.ninja hackathon (Stefan / Iain)<br />
**What other simulation modules could be added to Renewables.ninja?<br />
**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.)<br />
<br />
*Use of models in government (ideally someone from DECC / Ofgem)<br/><br />
**What are government agencies looking for?<br />
**How to get open models into government processes - what is preventing their uptake?<br />
<br />
*Curation and maintenance of volumnous cost and performace data for technologies and processes<br />
**Assured and documented quality control of input data is needed for any government policy work. For thousands of processes, this is a very big task indeed.<br />
**Non-data assumptions (and representation issues for any indiuvidual model) also need to be curated and maintained when results are going to be used for policy<br />
<br />
*Use of models in industry (Catalina Spataru)<br />
*Wiki model factsheet: which models are good for which task? (anybody interested in leading this?)<br/><br />
**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?<br />
<br />
*Weather data for energy modelling (Iain)<br/><br />
**Bring together meteorologists who produce reanalyses and those who use this data for energy systems models<br/><br />
**Brainstorm new applications or big questions that can be answered with this (perhaps with the aim of a joint paper / proposal)<br />
<br />
*Modelling energy storage and demand-side response (Paul D)<br />
**Probably the most difficult set of technologies to model and understand<br />
**Generally modelled badly or not at all by energy system models<br />
**DSR is ignored by many models<br />
<br />
*Wind capacity potentials<br />
**Assess different open land usage databases<br />
**Free software (QGIS etc.) for determining suitability of sites for wind development (distance from buildings, exclusion of nature reserves, etc.)<br />
**Predicting where wind will be built based on e.g. resource-dependent feed-in tariffs<br />
<br />
*Modelling hydroelectricity<br />
**Incorporating precipitation and snow melt weather data<br />
**Models for run-of-river, storage dams with inflow, pumped storage and mixed variants<br />
**Getting Scandinavian/Alpine hydro markets right<br />
<br />
*Open Access Publishing in the field of energy system modeling<br />
**Are there any good possibilities<br />
**Sharing experiences<br />
**Possibilities to launch an own new fully open access journal?<br />
<br />
*Pushing the open energy modeling article forward<br />
*Modelling demand curves for other energy sectors: electrified heating/cooling and transport<br />
**Open modelling of heat pump/electrical heating/air conditioning demand based on temperature data<br />
**Modelling of transport demand<br />
<br />
Realising you may have already discussed these topics in past workshops (sorry!), but I would like to hear discussed some of the following discussed [Charlie Heaps, SEI]:<br />
<br />
*<br />
*What are the pros and cons of taking a currently closed source model to become open sourced? &nbsp;Most of our users are NOT programmers so we have focused on deveoping an API rather than on open sourcing. &nbsp;What suggestions do people have for this?<br />
**What difficulties have others faced (especially those working in a RAD environment in which software consists of many plugin components).<br />
**What are implications for revenue? &nbsp;We are a non profit org and have a business model where we give the software away for free to developing countries but charge to users in private companies and use the proceeds to pay for development and tech support. &nbsp;How might we replace that business model?<br />
**If we go open source, how do we get people really engaged in the ongoing development of the model. What experience do people have of managing and combining inputs without causing fragmentation as has happened in some communities (eg the MARKAL community).<br />
**Is it practical to go open source given that we use a programming language (Delphi) that is not as popular as it used to be? &nbsp;<br />

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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
