A new course about data science for energy system modelling 🎉

Elon Musk Elon Musk let's pimp the next masterplan with open-source software and open data? We have one of the biggest community working on #opensource and #opendata required for national/ global sustainable energy studies🤠 Tool: github.com/pypsa-meets-ea… Initiative: pypsa-meets-earth.github.io

🐍💻The world's first peer-reviewed, open, global-coverage electricity model generator using high-resolution open data, open source and an open community. Now you can model any country using #python, OS energy system optimization framework #pypsa and high-resolution #open data🧵

Great to see the excellent modelling work of Fundacja Instrat for Poland's energy transition being translated directly into the policy platform of Civic Coalition. Congratulations to Michał Hetmański, @KubiczekPatryk, Michał Smoleń and team!

🆕🌍PyPSA-Earth now has the largest collection of reproducible power system models for all 193 UN countries! 🚀 🔓Fully #opensource & #opendatadriven, this is your gateway to infinite energy study opportunities worldwide. OpenMod Initiative PyPSA meets Earth OpenEnergyTransition Macro-Energy Systems

What makes it special? 🐍Python code 🔥Data is not static. We implemented data pipelines to continuously evolving data sources like OpenStreetMap ⚡️ #Automated workflow management makes it flexible and user-friendly 😍High resolution data -> hourly + GIS tagged

Why join us? ✅Cutting-edge research ✅MSc & PhD topic ✅Great community with weekly public meetings github.com/pypsa-meets-ea…

Thanks to Davide Fioriti for leading the global PyPSA-Earth developments, and thanks to Tom Brown+ TUB team for building and maintaining the foundation of most #PyPSAtools (great address ➡️ pypsa.org)

PyPSA-Earth v0.3 is out 🥳 some highlights: ▪️support of continental modelling everywhere ▪️replace OSM grid by custom grid data increases flexibility ▪️increased performance saves hours for data pre ▪️improved logging & documentation More on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/maximili…

New #EU OpenMod Initiative workshop is open for registration 📌 What: In-person workshop on energy modelling 📅 When: March 25–28, 2024 📍 Where: Grenoble, France 🔗 Info and registration: forum.openmod.org/t/grenoble-wor… Join us.

Regen Department for Energy Security and Net Zero @LCP_Delta Energy system modelling for #LongDurationEnergyStorage policy-making is important and can improve. This was my feeling looking at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero open consultation “Long duration electricity storage: proposals to enable investment” See my comments at: linkedin.com/posts/olly-fra…

We're now accepting abstracts for the Macro-Energy Systems 2024 Workshop, held June 6-7 Princeton University Andlinger Center. Please share w/ anyone interested in #MacroEnergySystems! Space at the Workshop is limited & best way to secure a spot is to get an abstract accepted. Deadline: March 1

How much does #opensource software contribute to society? 🌱 Nice study from #Harvard shows OS contributes ~8 trillion💲in usage value for society, that the creation costs would be 4 billion💲if OS didn’t exists. All our software would be 3.5x more costly without OS

It's here! In Episode One of SHIFT KEY, a new weekly podcast from Robinson Meyer & I, we unpack the messy story of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and the significance of Biden's pause on new permits. Give us a listen, and please share with your friends!

How could #Independent #Integrated #Resource #Planning (IRP) look in South Africa using #opensource and #opendata? New work from Meridian Economics shows that using #PyPSA impacting (hopefully🤞) South Africa's #energy #policy OpenMod Initiative Macro-Energy Systems OpenEnergyTransition

Jesse D. Jenkins The Julia Language JuMP FYI #Python has now a #faster solver interface than Julia called #PyOptInterface using the solvers C-API. Still early days and JuMP is 💯 the most mature Benchmark: metab0t.github.io/PyOptInterface… ➡️ #Julia and #Python work for energy modelling. We just need to build useful apps 🚀

Jesse D. Jenkins The Julia Language JuMP More mature than PyOptInterface, #Linopy solved for us in the #Python #PyPSA world practical performance issues (speed+memory) for energy modelling linopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/benc… Challenges are now good apps & data, community adoption, commercial support… PyPSA meets Earth OpenEnergyTransition

Great to see the International Energy Agency embrace #opensource energy modelling tool PyPSA used for hourly modelling in their new report on future flexibility needs on different scales (hourly, seasonal, inter-annual) OpenMod Initiative #freethemodels iea.org/reports/managi…

Interested in open energy modelling with PyPSA? 🤔🤓 Then join us on zoom on Monday 27th May for the 2nd user meeting, 1500 German time (CEST). 13 talks, every continent is represented! (except Antarctica - we're working on that 🐧) forum.openmod.org/t/2nd-pypsa-us…

Here's the list of talks - it's really a great line up!
