Embracing the challenges of the energy transition of tomorrow, iDesignRES is a of centerpiece in developing innovative planning tools to achieve a in sustainable energy system. Our consortium, coordinated by NTNU, unites top European research institutions to forge new paths in energy system modelling, planification and optimisation, embracing a new degree of openness, transparency and accessibility.
Being one of the largest EU projects on energy system modelling and optimisation, iDesignRES is dedicated to accelerating the understanding of the insights of energy system analyses. Our objectives focus on developing optimised open-source tools for comprehensive energy system modelling (representing long term planning and short-term operations), and on creating dynamic multi-physics models. We aim to empower network operators and public authorities with user-friendly visualisation tools for long-term multi-carrier grid planning. These state-of-the-art models are validated through diverse European use cases together with local industrial partners. Follow us in developing these ambitious goals, as we strive towards a sustainable and , efficient energy future.
Explore Our JourneyiDesignRES has a diverse set of activities, organised into seven interlinked work packages, each playing a crucial role in accelerating the development and transparency of energy system models. From developing multi-physic component models, system assembling tools and long-term planning models to creating a cloud hub platform, our activities are meticulously designed to facilitate the planning and operation of energy systems. We engage in rigorous validation and certification processes, ensuring the reliability and efficacy of our tools across macro-regions and industrial clusters.
