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 oemof-solph. 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 Python. Using Geopandas for data processing.
