Open models like PyPSA offer real advantages for system planning: transparency in assumptions, full control over your modelling environment, no vendor lock-in, and the ability to handle sensitive data in-house. We want to make them as accessible as possible for TSOs.

What happens when #OpenSource energy modeling meets African open-source developers?
β‘ At OSCA Fest in Lagos, we presented open energy planning to developers, graduates & entrepreneurs via the #MapYourGrid project and PyPSA-Earth. The workshop sparked big interest in applying open-source energy solutions for Africaβs future.

Faster models, smarter transitions with an open-source benchmark of #optimization #solvers from the energy planning domainβ‘οΈ
Test user James Glynn (ESMA) tried the Open Energy Benchmark. It is mixing open & proprietary solvers with smart filters. Speeds research, drives innovation, boosts competition.
Thank you for your insights, James.

π Launching: Awesome Grid Model Data! A curated, open-licensed catalogue of electricity grid model datasets to power interoperability in energy modeling.
Why? Because real-world, ready-to-use datasets are essential for testing and building interoperable tools but theyβre often scattered or inconsistent.

Open Energy Benchmark has been tested and is live! Supported by @BreakthroughEnergy, it compares 5 solvers across 120 benchmarks (modeling frameworks: PyPSA, GenX, Sienna, PowerModels, Tulipa, TEMOA, and TIMES)
One of our test user, Victor Guillot (MINES Paris), calls it intuitive and a big time-saver.
A great tool for anyone working on energy models & decarbonization.

Last week, three of our colleagues taught a Modeling Regional Power Markets with open-source tools course in Johannesburg! 35 energy pros from 6 African countries learned Python and PyPSA.
Key insights:
π Power pools = more investment opportunities
π Open-source tools democratizing energy planning
π Local capacity growing strong
Thanks to @InternationalCentreHydropower & @HansBredesen for partnership! π
