Various programming languages have been used to write software, including: Python, R, GAMS, MathProg, C++, Java, Matlab, Octave, Mathematica, and Excel/VBA. A number of languages are used for the pre-processing and post-processing of data and for visualization, including: Excel, R, Matlab, Python, and Graphviz. Relational and object-relational databases are also used to manage datasets.

Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project researchers have analyzed model typologies and made recommendations for future developments.[1]: S30–S31 

Various national governments and the European Union are developing meta-data standards and putting key policy statistics and datasets online. This includes energy supply data and energy trading data. One key component is the SDMX Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange standard. Sponsors of SDMX include Eurostat and various UN agencies. The US Department of Energy publishes energy information for the United States. The availability of municipal energy data depends on data policies of the relevant city administrations and utility providers.

Modeling paradigm

edit

The energy modeling projects listed all fall within the bottom-up (BU) paradigm. This means that a model is built by defining and assembling the key constituents from the underlying system at the appropriate level of detail and resolution. Depending on the modeling genre, these components will include technical elements (like power stations), institutional arrangements (typically spot markets), and sometimes decision agents (such as bidders, consumers, and householders). Unlike the top-down (TD) paradigm, bottom-up models exhibit low levels of abstraction.

They have very detailed, often economy-wide, linked maps of energy use from supply through to end-use demand, and their operating paradigm is the minimization of the lifecycle costs for specific intermediate and end-use energy demands through technology competition, often in response to capital, labor, energy and emissions price changes. Their strengths include an integrated full-system representation and an explicit recognition of the capital, operating and fuel costs that provides a basis for least-cost analysis, normally based on a financial discount rate. Because of their technical depth and capacity for modeling capital stock turnover, they can also model the effects of technology regulations, a common requirement of decision makers and typically a weakness of TD models (see later discussion). Their weaknesses are their data intensiveness, behavioral simplicity (cost minimization based on financial discount rates does not completely describe firm and household behavior), exogenous demands for energy services, lack of capacity to model the financial recycling effects of emissions charges and inability to model economic structural change. As a practical consideration, BU models (and all models that follow) typically have steep learning curves.

EMMA text

"The model code as well as all input parameters and this documentation are freely available to the public under the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license and can be downloaded from http://neon-energie.de/EMMA." (from EMMA website)

EMMA models both dispatch of and investment in power plants, minimizing the total costs with respect to investment, production, and trade decisions under a large set of technical constraints. In economic terms, it is a partial equilibrium model of the wholesale electricity market with a focus on the supply side. It calculates short-term or long-term optima (equilibria) and estimates the corresponding capacity mix as well as hourly prices, generation, and cross-border trade for each market area. Technically, EMMA is a pure linear program (no integer variables) with about two million non-zero variables. As of 2016 the model covers Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland and supports renewable generation, conventional generation, and cogeneration.[2][3]

EMMA has been used to study the economic effects of the increasing penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE), specifically solar power and wind power, in the Northwestern European power system. A 2013 study finds that increasing VRE shares will depress prices and, as a result, the competitive large-scale deployment of renewable generation will be more difficult to accomplish than many anticipate.[4] A 2015 study estimates the welfare-optimal market share for wind and solar power. For wind, this is 20%, three times more than at present.[5]

An external 2015 study reviews the EMMA model and comments on the high assumed specific costs for renewable investments.[6]: 6

We have recently released the new python open source software pandapower for convenient modeling and analysis of power systems, and we think this could be interesting for those of you working with electric power system analysis.

A few highlights of pandapower are:

  • data structure based on pandas tables allows comfortable data handling
  • convenient modeling of electric networks through the pandapower API
  • element based datastructure with comprehensive electric models for lines, 2-Winding transformers, 3-Winding transformers, ward-equivalents and more
  • a switch model that allows modelling of ideal bus-bus switches as well as bus-line / bus-trafo switches
  • power flow and optimal power flow based on PYPOWER, accelerated with just-in-time compilation in numba
  • possibility for topological graph searches on electric networks with networkx
  • plotting of networks with and without geographical information with matplotlib

EnergyNumbers–Balancing is an interactive electricity system model. It is being developed by the UCL Energy Institute, University College London, London, United Kingdom. The project maintains an interactive website. Users can request access to the codebase by twitter. EnergyNumbers-Balancing is programmed in Fortran, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

The model uses historic demand data and historic one (or half) hourly capacity factors for photovoltaics and wind generation to simulate the extent to which demand could be met by some combination of wind, photovoltaics, and storage. As of 2016, Britain, Germany, and Spain are supported.

energyRt stands for energy systems modeling R-toolbox. As of 2016, the project is in development. Basic reference energy system (RES) models are currently supported, but features like regions and storage technologies are in planning. The code is hosted on GitHub. The software is written in R and can use either GAMS or GLPK as its optimization solver. There is no documentation at present. Nor are demonstration models available. The project advocates and uses reproducible research techniques based on RStudio and knitr.[1][2]

The energyRt software produces a pure linear (no integer variables) cost-minimization problem which is then passed to the selected solver. The design of energyRt shares similarities with bottom-up models like TIMES/MARKAL or OSeMOSYS.

the former are typically developed by economists based on economic indices of prices and elasticities exploring macro-economic effects of a certain type of policy often using econometric methods, the latter are typically developed by engineers based on detailed descriptions of end-use and production technologies and cost structures (physical accounting).

    • Abstract: In common with other types of complex models, energy system models have opaque structures, making it difficult to understand both changes between model versions and the extent of changes described in research papers. In this paper, we develop the principle of model archaeology as a formal method to quantitatively examine the balance and evolution of energy system models, through the ex post analysis of both model inputs and outputs using a series of metrics. These metrics help us to understand how models are developed and used and are a powerful tool for effectively targeting future model improvements. The usefulness of model archaeology is demonstrated in a case study examining the UK MARKAL model. We show how model development has been influenced by the interests of the UK government and the research projects funding model development. Despite these influences, there is clear evidence of a strategy to balance model complexity and accuracy when changes are made. We identify some important long-term trends including higher technology capital costs in subsequent model versions. Finally, we discuss how model archaeology can improve the transparency of research model studies.

Text

The Atmosphere/Energy Program at Stanford University has developed roadmaps for 139 countries to achieve energy systems powered only by wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) by 2050.[1][2] In the case of Germany, total end-use energy drops from 375.8 GW for business-as-usual to 260.9 GW under a fully renewable transition. Load shares in 2050 would be: on-shore wind 35%, off-shore wind 17%, wave 0.08%, geothermal 0.01%, hydro-electric 0.87%, tidal 0%, residential PV 6.75%, commercial PV 6.48%, utility PV 33.8%, and concentrating solar power 0%. The study also assess avoided air pollution, eliminated global climate change costs, and net job creation. These co-benefits are substantial.

User communities are the lifeblood of sustainable scientific software. The user community includes the developers, both internal and external, of the software; direct users of the software; other software projects that depend on the software; and any other groups that create or consume data that is specific to the software. Together these groups provide both the reason for sustaining the software and, collectively, the requirements that drive its continued evolution and improvement.[1]: 31
