This repository is dedicated to discussions and decisions regarding the Open Energy Family (OEFamily). The OEFamily is a dynamic collection of tools and information designed to support working with energy-related data. Our community is collaborative, and we openly develop everything. Our goal is to provide users with access to the latest information and tools, so they can make informed decisions about energy. For more information about the OEFamily and the OEP, please visit our website at https://openenergy-platform.org/about/.
Like many families, the Open Energy Family a vast and ever-expanding community. Some of our family members are well-known and prominent, while others may be less visible but equally important. Some have their own dedicated repository, while others are integrated within larger projects. However, we are all connected by our shared goal of advancing Open Science in energy system research. Together, we form a strong and supportive circle, dedicated to the development and dissemination of cutting-edge tools and information that promote the efficient and sustainable use of energy.
Open Energy Platform (OEP)
A web interface to access most of the modules, especially the community database and factsheets.
Factsheets
The Factsheets are a standardized collection and presentation of information about modelling frameworks, models and scenarios used in climate and energy system modelling.
Tutorials
Tutorials, manuals and example code for the use of the Open Energy Family.
Open Energy Database (OEDB)
An open community database for energy, climate and modelling data.
Everybody can contribute to the database by adding, editing, and reviewing information.
Open Energy Metadata (OEMetadata)
Extensive set of metadata based on the tabular data package specifications and the FAIR principles.
Open Energy Datamodel (OEDatamodel)
A common open energy data model (oedatamodel) and datapackage format for energy and scenario data.
Open Metadata Integration (OMI)
A library to integrate, process and translate OEMetadata.
Open Process Integration (OPI)
A repository for data formatting, import of data, data and metadata review, and data curation.
Open Energy Dialect (OEDialect)
A SQLAlchemy dialect using the REST-API to download and upload data to the OEP.
Open Energy Ontology (OEO)
An ontology is a formal collection of terms and relationships between those terms, with clear definitions and a logical interpretation.
Several individuals across different research projects contribute to the development of the Open Energy Family. These projects are:
Partner institutions currently working on the Open Energy Family:
The Open Energy Family follows the ideal of Open Science. Thus all material (Code, Data, Artwork) is licensed with a suitable open license.
The mentioned projects are funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
Coordinated by the Projektträger Jülich (PTJ).
Supported by the Reiner Lemoine Stiftung (RLS).
Get involved and contribute! Anyone is invited to develop the Open Energy Family.
