#event PyPSA meets Africa - An open energy system model initiative for Africa (& the World)
Max Parzen
Hi everyone,
If you are interested in open source, energy system modelling, and "AI data creation from
satellites" then please join our open webinar.
Webinar: "PyPSA meets
Africa - An open energy system model initiative for Africa (& the World)"
Overview
PyPSA meets Africa is the largest non-funded open energy system modelling initiative in Africa. It aims to develop GIS-based open-source planning tools to guide energy system relevant policy, industry and research decision making. Since being founded in early 2021, more than 40 international members contributing to keep the initiative long-term sustainable and to develop a model prototype by end of 2021.
Recently, institutions such as the World Resource Institute, the German Aerospace Agency and many others are trying to join consortiums around the initiative. They believe in the power of open-source like we do. Together, we make open energy system models an alternative to proprietary tools that are equally reliable and maybe even better.
Presenters:
- Matin Mahmood (Core contributor, University of Edinburgh)
- Lukas Franken (AI WP lead, University of Edinburgh)
- Davide Fioriti (Core contributor, University of Pisa)
- Maximilian Parzen (Director of Initiative, University of Edinburgh)
Content:
- Energy system modelling in Africa
- Simulation vs. optimisation
- Black vs. opaque vs. open box software
- PyPSA-Africa - An open digital twin of energy systems that can be optimised
- What we do
