Imagine trying to plan a city's power grid but not knowing exactly where the wind blows or how much electricity factories use every hour. This project builds a digital map and a calculator that predicts energy needs and costs across different regions. It helps planners pick the cheapest and cleanest way to move energy from where it's made to where it's needed.
Energy planners struggle with complex, error-prone data and slow tools when trying to design carbon-neutral systems. There is a lack of high-resolution, validated data to predict how different energy sectors will interact during the transition.
A suite of open-source tools including an enhanced workflow manager (Spine Toolbox), a high-performance model generator (SpineOpt.jl), and a high-resolution Pan-European energy dataset.
If you are a network operator dealing with grid instability during the green transition — this project developed a planning tool that optimizes energy sectors in detail. It allows you to model distribution grid levels and resiliency to ensure a reliable power supply.
If you are a factory owner dealing with high decarbonization costs — this project developed high-resolution datasets and a model generator that analyzes industrial regions. This helps you plan the most cost-effective shift to sustainable energy sources.
If you are a government agency dealing with carbon neutrality targets — this project developed an open-access Pan-European dataset at hourly resolution. This allows you to steer policy decisions based on validated, high-resolution energy data.
The project produces exclusively open-source tools, meaning the software itself is provided without a purchase price.
Yes, the project includes a high-detail industrial region case study and a Pan-European model to demonstrate its ability to handle large-scale systems.
Based on available project data, the tools are developed as open-source, allowing users to adopt modular parts for their own systems.
The tools support policy and regulatory decisions aimed at steering energy systems toward carbon neutrality at national and EU levels.
The tools are modular, which allows organizations to adopt only the specific parts that benefit their existing modelling systems.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, consisting of 15 partners across 8 countries. With a 20% industry ratio (3 industrial partners) and a strong backbone of 5 universities and 5 research centers, the project blends academic rigor with practical application. The inclusion of representatives from all end-user categories ensures the tools are designed for real-world utility.
