About

Our vision is to provide a free, user-friendly and performant model environment to support a smooth energy transition around the world. The packages enable to go all the way from calculating renewable energy potentials to creating complex electricity networks and cost-optimizing the pathway of a whole energy system. All packages are build in a modular sense so that they may be used independently from each other but interact easily.

This project is maintained and coordinated by the Department of Digital Transformation in Energy Systems at the Technical University of Berlin. Previously, it was developed by the Energy System Modelling group at the Institute for and Applied Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology funded by the Helmholtz Association, and by the Renewable Energy Group at FIAS to carry out simulations for the CoNDyNet project, financed by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the Stromnetze Research Initiative.

We are very happy about constructive feedback and contributions to the Git-repositories!
