1. Veda update
ETSAP meeting Torino
16 November 2023

2. Free Veda
online for
students

3. How it works:
• Identify a license admin for an institution abc@<inst name>.???
• All users who register with email addresses like xyz@<inst name>.???
will be able to access educational version of VO without any further
check.
• Runs will be solved on the NEOS server (3 GB RAM limit)
• Can only make public models out of public GitHub folders

4. Next steps
• Prepare an email that contracting parties can send to educational
institutes in their countries.
• Prepare demo models with self-learning as the objective.
• Prepare video tutorials around these models.
• Offer webinars.

models

6. Different routes from input to results

Veda Input Files Veda Reports

7. OSeMOSYS
• Common attributes mapped
• Other attributes supported
• Additional features that improve usability
• TIMES interpolation options (1-5) processed by Veda
• Case management supported
• Last value retained as per scenario order

8. TIMES and OSeMOSYS Browse

9. Make TIMES more accessible
• Ose_CSV folder in the root of Veda model folder would replace the
VT_* files.
• All other Veda files would work as they do.
• Existing OSeMOSYS and TEMOA models will be able to run as TIMES
with little (or very little) effort on the part of their developers.

10. Make energy system modelling easier
• Create an environment where domain experts can explore the
interplay of key assumptions (via large scenario experiments) using
system models – without much investment in what lies under the
hood.
• Intuitive names for key input parameters and output variables that
will work across multiple modelling frameworks.

12. Two routes
• Introduce new parameters
• Test existing tables

13. Future
developments
