GitHub - open-energy-transition/demandcast: Retrieve historic electricity demand data and generate synthetic future demand predictions using our ML model Retrieve historic electricity demand data and generate synthetic future demand predictions using our ML model - open-energy-transition/demandcast

The demand data is actually feeding the ML demand cast app: github.com/open-energy-... so people can get open electricity demand predictions for any part around, for any region, climatic year.

In general the more data, the better πŸ™ŒπŸΌ so please get in touch with our team to add this eventually.

ENTSO-E on LinkedIn: #energytransition #opensource #innovation #tyndp πŸ”§ ENTSO-E collaborates on open-source tools for energy planning πŸ” ENTSO-E’s TYNDP and adequacy studies rely on a comprehensive suite of modelling tools used by TSO experts. To enhance transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility, we are working on fit-for-purpose open-source tools that complement our existing planning data and methodologies. πŸš€ In collaboration with Open Energy Transition , we have launched a research and innovation project to develop a complementary open-source tool in PyPSA for Scenario Building and Cost-Benefit Analysis within the TYNDP process. A first workshop on 16 January brought together TSO and OET experts to explore how PyPSA can be integrated into the modelling suite. #EnergyTransition #OpenSource #Innovation #TYNDP

πŸš€ New Open-Source Project in European Energy Planning!

We're collaborating with ENTSO-E for an innovation project in the TYNDP process resulting in an open-source PyPSA-based toolbox for Scenario Building & Cost-Benefit Analysis. 🌍⚑

Yes, the GUI is one element that should be addressed but there are many other moving puzzle pieces that should be in place for seriously challenging existing solutions. Discussed a plan with @jessedjenkins.com few months ago

Yep, that’s correct. We will probably tackle scenario building and the CBA process of the TYNDP. Can eventually tell more details in January.

I like the no risk strategy of doing both for the TYNDP like doing, PLEXOS and open source tools until there is 100% confidence in #opensource.
