FlexiGIS: an open source GIS-based platform for modelling energy systems and flexibility options in urban areas. It extracts, filters and categorises the geo-referenced urban energy infrastructure, simulates the local electricity consumption and power generation from on-site renewable energy resources, and allocates the required decentralised storage in urban settings using urbs. FlexiGIS investigates systematically different scenarios of self-consumption, it analyses the characteristics and roles of flexibilisation technologies in promoting higher autarky levels in cities. The extracted urban energy infrustructure are based mainly on OpenStreetMap data.

Based on . Using for data processing.
