Energy-Together-Platform

A lot of money and resources are spent on developing and implementing new green technologies - it is good; but too few resources are spent on ensuring that the technologies and units fit into the energy system of the future.

The Energy-Together platform is the first version of a platform where there is access to knowledge about the relationships in energy systems, and where technology developers and project developers can gain knowledge and inspiration about how their ideas fit into the energy system of the future via access to energy system models.

Strategirummet has developed the first version to illustrate how the interaction between technology development and system analysis can look like. The wish is that there are others who will help to further develop the platform, and that there are some who will help to finance the operation of www.energy-together.com

It is certain that the future will not be like the present. Therefore, one should not invest in the green transition on the basis of today's threats and opportunities and on the basis of data from the current energy markets.

Technology developers and project developers should therefore test their projects in system models that describe official future scenarios for the energy system and the electricity market. The challenge and reward of this can be seen in this video.

It is not good enough to use other people's future forecasts, because this way you do not get to work with the future. Instead - or in addition - market models must be used to analyze how potential investments in R&D&D projects and facilities will fare in the future energy markets. In connection with major strategic investments in the development of infrastructure, scenario technique should be used.

The purpose of the e2g platform is to increase the level of knowledge about the key parameters in the energy and CO2 system and how they interact, and to give technology developers and project developers access to knowledge about the future energy system and electricity market. The platform therefore contains:

A Knowledge Sharing Room where you can learn more about the key parameters in the energy and CO2 system via courses and via links to teaching material. The focus is on the knowledge technology developers and project developers need
A Data Room with links to the most important data sources to be used for technology and project development
A Model Room where you can get hands-on experience with the basic theories in the energy field
A Business-As-Usual Room where market models with associated data for the BAU projection are accessible and where you can analyze the profitability of the investments in R&D&D and units that you want to build
A Scenario Workshop where you can develop your own scenarios and see other people's scenarios

Competing companies can work together to set up scenarios without problems. They can then develop visions and strategies in the privacy of their own company.
