Single-region open-database and open-source energy for energy system optimization analyses up to 2050 based on OECD Europe.

TEMOA-Europe

Features

TEMOA-Europe is an energy system optimization model instance based on the open-source energy system modeling framework TEMOA. TEMOA-Europe is a case study based on the OECD Europe Reference Energy System.

The developing team includes Prof. Laura Savoldi¹, Daniele Lerede², Matteo Nicoli³, Gianvito Colucci³ @ Energy Department “Galileo Ferraris” @ Politecnico di Torino. For any inquiries, please, contact us at:

The temoa_energysystem/ directory contains the database of the techno-economic description for the European energy system over a time scale starting from 2005 and up to 2050:

• TEMOA_Europe.sql is the text file containing the modifiable version of the database
• TEMOA_Europe.sqlite is the relational dataset containing all data from TEMOA_Europe.sql and the necessary modifications apported through database_preprocessing.sql (application of interpolation rules, computation of emission activities, demand projection). database_preprocessing.sql is automatically called when running database_creator.sql.

If you already have TEMOA ready to run on your PC, please ensure you are using the version of the model files located in the temoa_model folder provided here (the main difference with respect to the standard version of the model is the implementation of capacity retirement for existing technologies).

Contributions

The developing team wishes to receive help form the users in the definition and test of new test cases, in the benchmark against other established software, in the update of other functionalities. To contribute please refer to contribution.
