SpineOpt is an integrated energy systems optimisation tool designed for a wide range of modelling purposes. Its data-driven structure allows for highly customisable energy system descriptions and flexible temporal and stochastic structures, without altering the source code. Based on mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), it is a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers and energy planners aiming to model and optimise energy systems in a dynamic and uncertain environment.
This advanced-level tutorial focuses on the investment optimisation capabilities of SpineOpt. Building on the medium-level tutorial of 1 September 2026, we will progressively add features and inspect how each one changes the model’s output. In particular, the session will explore SpineOpt features such as rolling horizon and multi-year investments in the Spine-Opt documentation.
Speaker: Manuel Marin, Energy Reform (TBC)
