A draft for our landing page at http://www.spine-model.org/

  • Spine Toolbox is an open source software to manage data and workflows for modelling (Documentation)
  • SpineOpt is a Julia-based open source energy system modelling framework capable of planning and scheduling energy and power systems with high level of temporal, spatial and technological adaptability (Documentation)
  • SpineInterface.jl allows to rapidly build optimization models for the Julia JuMP environment using Spine Toolbox as the data and workflow tool (Documentation)

Modelling workflow packages include

  • Spine Toolbox is a Python interface to manage the modelling workflow and the data
  • Spine Database API is a python API to access the SQL based Spine databases that use entity-attribute-value with classes and relationships
  • Spine Items provides the basic tools needed in the Spine Toolbox workflow (import, export, scenario formation, etc.) Users can include their own tools and build new plug-ins.
  • Spine Engine separates the execution of workflows into separate entity that parallelizes execution and allows remote execution

Energy system modelling packages include

  • SpineOpt.jl is an energy systems model with diverse capabilities and substantial adaptability. It allows sector specific modelling inside a single model with a highly adaptable temporal and stochastic structure.
  • SpineInterface.jl translates Spine Toolbox databases into Julia data structures for optimized access/interaction.
  • SpinePeriods.jl selects representative periods for SpineOpt and other models.

Spine project (2017-2021), that has developed the original versions of all the software, has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement Nr. 774629.
