News from Open-TYNDP! Open-TYNDP is a project, which explores how open energy models can complement and strengthen the existing workflows in the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) through transparent and reproducible modelling approaches - with a focus on Scenario Building and Cost-Benefit Analysis. This research and innovation project is developed by Open Energy Transition (OET) in collaboration with ENTSO-E.
Yesterday, OET’s project published key results showing that open-source modelling and open data can produce high quality and trustworthy results comparable with those from the official TYNDP.
You are welcome to explore the project website, where you will see the benchmark results with 2024 TYNDP outputs, detailed methodology, key features, and more.
What is new for energy planners in the latest release (v0.7)?
-
Demand side response and load shedding — aligned with TYNDP 2024 assumptions for electricity and hydrogen
-
Improved benchmarking — cross-border flows, dumped energy, and demand shedding now included
-
Central data bucket — fewer download sources, easier to get started
-
Central carrier mapping — full transparency on what is aggregated and how
-
Faster CBA solving — reduced computation time across the full workflow
For anyone working on grid planning or TYNDP scenarios, this release is well worth a look.
