Open source toolbox for modelling integrated energy systems

Project: EU project

Project Details

Description

The Spine project develops and validates an end to end modular set of open source software tools for energy system modelling (the so-called Spine Toolbox). The tools enable open, practical, flexible and realistic planning of future European energy grids. The Toolbox is suitable for both detailed modelling of complex features in energy systems as well as for large-scale problems.
