As energy systems get challenged by climate action and geopolitical conflicts, planners need tools that are easy to trust, easy to adapt for complex scenarios, and ready for real-world deployment.
This workshop is aimed at TSOs, DSOs and consultants, as well as public authorities and researchers working in energy planning. It introduces Spine Tools, an open-source suite that helps organise energy data, manage “what-if” scenarios and run repeatable analysis workflows.
Spine Tools also supports advanced planning needs such as working with different time horizons, representing uncertainty, exploring investment pathways and generating several “good-but-different” options that are close to the best solution, so trade-offs can be compared rather than relying on a single answer.
Alongside Spine Tools, the workshop presents new components developed in the Mopo project that help turn raw information into model-ready datasets and make scenario and workflow management more efficient for medium- and long-term planning.
By using the Interoperable Energy System Data Specification (INES), models and datasets can be shared in a common format, making it easier to move work between tools, connect models together and test tools on the same data.
All of the above will be illustrated through practical use cases, including a Pan-European study.
The workshop includes a hands-on session, giving practical experience using the latest Spine Tools.
