Consortium
The Flensburg University of Applied Sciences (FUAS), through its Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (ZNES), has led all projects. Content-wise, FUAS contributes expertise in the modeling and planning of sub-transmission and transmission grids, as well as in data processing for energy system modeling.
Projects: open_eGo, eGon, reGon
Reiner Lemoine Institut (RLI) contributes its competence in planning of distribution grids, modeling of synthetic distribution grid topologies, and (geo-)data processing to reGon. In this project RLI leads case studies that will be conducted with the developed tools and is responsible for the development of the sector-coupled distribution planning tool eDisGo.

The Europa-Universität Flensburg contributes expertise in data-driven energy system development with a focus on the heat sector. It supports the further development of grid calculation tools, the integration of methods across different grid levels, and approaches for reducing model complexity.
Projects: open_eGo, eGon, reGon
The DLR Institute of Networked Energy Systems, Department of Energy Systems Analysis, develops open-source tools and methods for cross-sectoral energy system planning, with strong expertise in the open modelling of power and gas grid infrastructures. In eGon, DLR leads the use case on the resilience of future energy systems: deriving electricity and heat demand time series from given weather years including climate-related adjustments, and quantifying their effects on the energy system with a focus on the electricity grid. DLR further contributes to the representation of the gas and hydrogen sector in the data model, and develops the project’s stakeholder-oriented tutorials and actor network.

The Smart Grids Research Group (SGFG) at THU’s Institute for Energy Technology and Energy Economics combines expertise in energy informatics, economics, meteorology, and infrastructure. SGFG conducts field tests with operators under real-world conditions and bridges industry practice and academic research. Within reGon, SGFG serves as the interface to SWU-Netze and will study, extend and validate the reGon framework and eDisGo using real network and meter data; it will also integrate high-resolution meteorology for a regional instance and provide automated routines and interfaces to grid operator comparison tools for benchmarking.
