Tools & Data
Several open-source tools have been developed in the context of the open_eGo and eGon projects, forming a coherent toolchain that now serves as the foundation for reGon.
Our energy system and grid models are built with eGon-data and ding0. For grid analysis and planning, we use the modular tools eTraGo (transmission grid) and eDisGo (distribution grid). Both are based on PyPSA. These can be applied independently or combined within the inter-grid-level planning tool eGo, which enables the investigation of viable grid expansion scenarios.
The input data, models, and results from these tools are published as open data on the Open Energy Platform (OEP) and in our WebApp, while the tools themselves are openly available on GitHub.

Determining flexibility time series for grid-beneficial operation and assessing reinforcement needs in medium- and low-voltage grids.
Generating open-data-based grid models for medium- and low-voltage networks across Germany, which are used in eDisGo.
Our Data
WebApp
Our WebApp provides an easy and illustrative access to our results from the project eGon. The results from reGon will be added as the project progresses.
OpenEnergyPlatform
The OpenEnergyPlatform is an open-data platform used by energy researchers to publish data in an accessible manner.
