Concept of upgrading the openmod online presence to an OpenEnergy Platform
Preliminary note
The concept of the OpenEnergy Platform is under development at the moment. Theses wiki pages are constantly updated and are meant to give an overview of the objectives as well as the current state of the concept and implementation of the different components forming the OpenEnergy Platform.
This platform has not got a final name, but the working title is OpenEnergy Platform (OEP). Alternatives are for example:
- openmod platform
- openmod portal
Feel free to suggest anothername and vote foryour favourites:
- First round: Hereany name can be added and you cantickall names you would be ok with.
- Second round: The three names that the most participants can live with(i.e. with the most votes in first round)arepart of the finalvote and everybodywill be allowed tick one option.
Many the activities regarding the OpenEnergy Plattform, undertaken by ZNES, RLI, Next Energy and the University of Madgeburg, are currently (08/2015 until 08/2016) part of the project open_eGo, which itself is funded by the German Federal Ministy of Economic Affairs and Energy.
The project proposal was written before the openmod initiative was established and was promoted by the project partners for the same reasons for which they also participated in the foundation of the openmod initative. Now, the OpenEnergy Platform team wants to avoid double structures and use their resourses to support the openmod initiative.
During the workshop in London (09/2015) a break-out group discussed the idea of an OpenEnergy Platform and different aspects. The participants agreed on expanding the existing online presence of the openmod initiative. The collected suggestions were advanced during a workshop in October 2015 in Berlin.
Thanks to all, who support the development of our common environment with critical and constructive remarks. In other words, please, feel free to discuss the concept with us.
