Imagine trying to build a power grid using a map drawn for a different city; it just won't work. This project creates custom digital blueprints and training for energy systems that actually fit the local needs of specific countries. It ensures that the people running the grids have the right tools and skills to make them green and reliable.
Energy planning tools often fail because they don't account for local social and economic conditions, leading to plans that governments ignore. This creates high risk for investors and developers who rely on inaccurate energy forecasts.
Open-source 3E (Energy, Environment, Economy) modelling infrastructure and open access teaching modules for energy systems modelling.
If you are a green hydrogen producer dealing with uncertain production sites in North Africa — this project developed 3E modelling infrastructure in Tunisia that helps predict green hydrogen and ammonia production. This reduces the risk of site selection and infrastructure mismatch.
If you are an advisory firm dealing with a lack of local data for energy bids — this project developed open source national modelling toolkits for 8 AU contexts. You can use these to create more accurate, credible energy strategies that local governments will actually approve.
If you are a fleet operator dealing with charging infrastructure gaps in East Africa — this project developed transport sector decarbonisation models for Ethiopia. This allows you to align your fleet expansion with the actual power supply capacity of the region.
Based on available project data, the toolkits are being developed as open access and open source, suggesting there is no direct purchase price for the software.
Yes, the project focuses on national and regional 3E modelling infrastructure across 8 AU contexts to support strategic energy planning.
The project explicitly aims for open access and open source infrastructure to ensure non-exclusive sharing of knowledge and tools.
They are integrated into existing energy planning ecosystems through the creation of knowledge management processes and formal partnerships.
The project is active from 2023-09-01 and is scheduled to conclude on 2027-02-28.
The consortium is heavily academic, with 12 universities and 3 research institutes, indicating a strong theoretical foundation. However, the inclusion of 1 industry partner and 1 SME, alongside partners from 15 different countries, suggests a focus on cross-border deployment and practical application in diverse regulatory environments.
