An Open Modelling Toolbox for consistent Energy and Power System Scenario Analyses

2026

Abstract

This article describes an open modelling toolbox for consistent energy and power system scenario analyses. The building blocks making this toolbox include i) open-source models of different types, ii) linkages between the relevant models, iii) a database with input datasets for these models, iv) a tool to visualize the results from the case studies, and v) instructions on how to install and use the models. Each of the models is briefly described. The data exchanged among models are structured according to a common format and nomenclature; and scripts are used to transfer data from one model to another. Finally, the article describes an example of using the toolbox, including an expansion analysis of the European energy system, application of the linkage functionalities to feed a power system model with results from the expansion analyses and a detailed analysis of the power system.

Statistical model

A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data (and similar data from a larger population). A statistical model represents, often in considerably idealized form, the data-generating process. When referring specifically to probabilities, the corresponding term is probabilistic model. A statistical model is usually specified as a mathematical relationship between one or more random variables and other non-random variables.

Scientific modelling

Scientific modelling is a scientific activity, the aim of which is to make a particular part or feature of the world easier to understand, define, quantify, visualize, or simulate by referencing it to existing and usually commonly accepted knowledge. It requires selecting and identifying relevant aspects of a situation in the real world and then developing a model to replicate a system with those features.

Conceptual model

A conceptual model is a representation of a system. It consists of concepts used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents. In contrast, a physical model focuses on a physical object such as a toy model that may be assembled and made to work like the object it represents. The term may refer to models that are formed after a conceptualization or generalization process. Conceptual models are often abstractions of things in the real world, whether physical or social.
