Symbolx & karray - 1:30-2:30

Symbolx and karray: Optimization variables into python objects for efficient math operations and scenario analysis

Please, download or clone the tutorial repo and follow the installation instructions: DIW EVU / tutorials / Symbolx_OpenMod2023 · GitLab Symbolx aims to simplify mathematical operations between resulting variables from optimization problems. Scenarios analysis and quick data visualization are the tool’s focus. Symbolx helps to keep track of variables and their dimensions when considering several scenarios. It also enables the user to make mathematical operations between variables with the sup…

Seasonal storage - 2:30-3:30

Integration of seasonal storage into energy system frameworks and modelling tools

genre: break‑out‑group title: Integration of seasonal storage into energy system frameworks and modelling tools presenter: @robertH background: Due to the increasing share of RES in our energy system, the need of seasonal storage is continuously growing. However, the dispatch of power plants (e.g. in district heating systems) usually takes place within a time horizon of 24 hours up to a few days. In this context, the optimisation of seasonal storage capacities is a methodological challenge. …

Harmonizing energy models - 4:30-5:30

Harmonising energy models and data to aid decisions on the net zero transition

genre: break‑out‑group title: Harmonising energy models and data to aid decisions on the net zero transition presenter: @lyden background: Energy models can aid a range of decision makers, but it is often unclear what data or models can be used when informing these decisions. Meanwhile, energy modellers may limit the decisions they can advise on by relying on models and data with a narrow focus. This breakout group aims to explore how data and models can aid decision makers, and how harmonis…

Sufficiency scenarios - 1:30-3:30

This is a two-hour session!

Modelling Sufficiency Scenarios

genre: break‑out‑group title: Modelling sufficiency scenarios presenter: @frauke, @ben.best, @LCRDRC background: We will briefly provide an overview of ongoing work on sufficiency scenarios and respective assumptions on the one and on our sufficiency scenarios created by our research group on the other side. We would like to find potential collaborators for modelling sufficiency scenarios. Either the ones we derived in the background or own ones. Potentially this may lead to discussing how k…

Energy modelling & critical thinking

Energy modelling & critical thinking

genre: break‑out‑group title: Energy modelling and critical thinking presenter: @sacha.hodencq @HugoLeB background: see below As Dianna Süsser organised in Berlin (“E.4. How to model social aspects”), we would like to organise an open discussion on the following subject : “Energy modelling and critical thinking”. We are currently writing a book chapter (“Are systemic models necessary for thinking about and dealing with crises?”), and mediating a working group in France on this matter, and we…

Open Energy Ontology - 1:30-2:30

Working with the Open Energy Ontology

genre: do-a-thon title: Working with the Open Energy Ontology presenter: @christian.hofmann background: This do-a-thon is dedicated to the Open Energy Ontology (OEO). The OEO aims to be the ontology for energy systems analysis. What does this even mean? The term ontology and it’s surrounding concepts can be intimidating. This workshop intends to break down big words into simple terms and make them more accessible for researchers in the field. Very basically, an ontology is a logically consis…

Distributed Database Infrastructure - 2:30-3:30

Network of interoperable and distributed database infrastructure for energy research

genre: break‑out‑group title: Network of interoperable and distributed database infrastructure for energy research presenter: @ludwig.huelk @danielhuppmann background: This breakout-group is dedicated to the RDM-infrastructure and databases. (RDM is research data management.) Focus is the collaborative use of the OpenEnergyPlatform for Open Research Data (ORD) and the interoperability of inhouse database systems like Ffe Open Data Portal and IIASA Databases. An introduction of the Energy Da…
