Tools & Data

Several models and applications have been developed in context of the previous open_eGo project, resulting in a toolchain. These data and tools provide the basis for eGoⁿ. The data and data models were created and processed in different modules named data processing and ding0. Additional external open-source tools such as osmTGmod were applied. Two modular planning tools (eTraGo and eDisGo) focusing on different grid levels were developed. They are combined in the inter-grid-level planning tool eGo to investigate viable grid expansion scenarios. All data sets are open data and available in the open energy database (oedb) as part of the open energy platform — OEP. The grid planning tools access the oedb to retrieve and store data. The codes of the developed tools are open source and available on GitHub.
