Manta: an enterprise-grade open-source energy modelling application

Presenters: Lauren Clisby, Siddharth Krishna, Max Parzen

Open energy modelling frameworks (such as PyPSA, Calliope, GenX, SpineOpt, and TulipaEnergyModel) are accelerating in popularity (see the openmod-tracker), but a major roadblock to becoming the industry standard is the lack of a modern, unified graphical user interface.

This presentation introduces an initiative to build Manta: an end-to-end enterprise FOSS application to enable TSOs, DSOs, academics, and other professionals to better adopt open energy modelling frameworks. We’ll talk about the initial version we’re building around PyPSA and our plans to expand to multi-model support. Participants will learn more about our vision, roadmap, team, and how they can get involved.

Background: The project is an open-source initiative by Open Energy Transition.

Optional links: GitHub repo will be added
