Integrated Design of the Components of the Energy System to Plan the Uptake of Renewable Energy Sources: An Open Source Toolbox
In line with EU goals of decarbonising the energy sector, efficient energy systems are key to encourage the integration of renewables and low-carbon energy sources. Stakeholders at the core of policies measures promoting climate neutrality need to be supported in their decision-making by advanced tools and models allowing them to achieve their objectives while minimising total costs.
To support this statement, iDesignRES has created five real-life cases: two macro region cases, two industrial clusters, and one expansion case. The models and scenario results are great visualization tools aimed to inform policy makers and grid operators. The goal of this project is that the public and relevant authorities can design a renewable energy system entirely online.
With collaboration from many different partners from the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Ukraine, iDesignRES had the goal of providing public authorities and network operators with open-source toolboxes. This would allow planning and optimisation of the uptake of low and zero emission energy sources at regional, national and European scales. These open-source tools allow iDesignRES to provide the latest multi-physics component energy models, comprehensive energy system modelling (specifically the assembling of component models), long-term multi-carrier grid planning and optimisation of investment and operation. iDesignRES is compatible with all modelling approaches and relies on a preexisting database, allowing iDesignRES to develop a unique and innovative cloud-hub platform to run any energy system model online.
