open_eGo: open electricity grid optimization

last updated on: 2022-05-24

General

The aim of the open_eGo project is to develop and use models to generate cost-optimised solutions for the expansion and conversion of the electricity grid for the energy transition. The open-source tool landscape created around the eGo grid planning tool can model all voltage levels in Germany, simulate the basic functioning of the electricity market taking into account the physical AC load flow behaviour and simultaneously optimise grid and storage expansion in an integrated way.

Tasks

The Open Energy Platform was created within the research project, with the aim of enabling the systematised, cross-model use of open energy data. In addition all input data and results have been published on the OEP and the first version of the OEMetadata has been created.

If you find bugs or if you have ideas to improve the Open Energy Platform, you are welcome to add your comments to the existing issues on GitHub.
You can also fork the project and get involved.

Please note that the platform is still under construction and therefore the design of this page is still highly volatile!
