Overview

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland has awarded a contract to Energy Reform for 648,500 EUR to develop an open-source energy system optimisation model of Ireland's electric power system with multi-energy carrier extensibility. The project involves creating an automated modelling workflow that builds, solves, and interrogates a configurable energy system model using publicly available datasets and open licenses, with deliverables to be released on public repositories for research, teaching, and industry use. The model will employ a framework capable of endogenously modelling multi-energy carriers and sector coupling, covering the electric power system and major national infrastructure required for decarbonisation, including hydrogen and carbon dioxide networks.

What this covers

  • Open Energy System Model of Ireland, Focusing on Electric Power with Multi-Energy Carrier Extensibility

    The Services comprise of the delivery of an automated energy modelling workflow that builds, solves and interrogates a configurable energy system optimisation model, using publicly available datasets, all under Open Licenses. Herein, the term ‘Energy System Model’ refers to all parts of the open energy modelling workflow, including all data, methodologies, assumptions, formulation, software, documentation, metadata, and related deliverables. Upon completion of the deliverables, SEAI’s intention is to release the Energy System Model on public repositories, so that peers in research, teaching and industry, who have an interest in modelling and studying the energy system of Ireland, can use and contribute under the relevant Open Licenses and contributor agreements and guidelines. The Energy System Model must employ an energy system optimisation modelling (ESOM) framework, i.e., one that can endogenously model multi-energy carrier systems and sector coupling, that is fully open source, e.g. Calliope, PyPSA, SpineOpt or Tulipa, amongst others. The sectoral scope in this CfT is the electric power system and the major national infrastructure required to enable deep or full electric power system decarbonisation, e.g. networks for hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and therefore the preference is for those ESOM frameworks whose use cases have demonstrated best practice for electric power system modelling.
