Choice of open-source modeling tool

Does it make sense to leave the choice of tool to a procurement contract? It depends on whether “stakeholders” are driving this contract

Co-design

Transformations between OEM tools

Coarse- and fine-grained transformations of energy systems.

Tools like PyPSA and Sienna specify the electricity network and then allow multiple approaches to “solving” the network.

Other tools are more “optimization” focused where a physically solvable electricity network is not really developed.

Coupled weather-energy system modeling

Weather-synchronized simulation requires high-resolution weather data but that depends upon climate and load reaction to climate.

All the tools

Multi-physics tools

Distributed control tools

Multi-agent tools

Weather Dataset Needs

Zane Selvans recommended this paper [@ESIG:2022:weather].

Google has developed a deep learning weather model called MetNet, with MetNet-3 being the latest version.

Could the MetNet architecture be applied to

It appears that MetNet is completely independent from numerical weather prediction. This makes it

Democratic energy planning

Energy democracy and democratic energy planning seem synonymous, like “social democracy” and “democratic socialism”. But word order does matter, and there is something like a parallel construct here. The first term, “energy democracy”, is often understood as a
