We investigate the role of U.S.-Canada electricity interconnections in supporting decarbonization efforts toward addressing both countries' emission reduction goals. Using the OSeMOSYS energy system model, we calculate the generation mix and required transmission expansion between Canada and the...

The nature and extent of openness depend on the context and/or disciplinary domain. Earlier usage of the term open was in the context of computer systems. For example, in networked systems of computers, "openness" refers to enabling protocols that connect previously closed systems so that they...

Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are a cornerstone of an effective approach to climate change mitigation. Despite the variety of methodologies for characterising the energy system, land use change, economics, and climate response, the modelling community has an open and urgent request for...

The transition towards more sustainable energy systems poses new requirements on energy system models. New challenges include representing more uncertainties, including short-term detail in long-term planning models, allowing for more integration across energy sectors, and dealing with increased...

Die Nutzung von Clouddiensten bietet Unternehmen mehrere Vorteile, wie den dezentralen Datenzugriff oder die flexible Anpassung von Rechenleistung an den Bedarf. Folgerichtig hat die Cloudnutzung in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren stark zugenommen. Der Markt für Clouddienste in...

The car-sharing market is changing at a dynamic pace. Along with changes and new user habits, car-sharing systems are required to make this market even more accessible and flexible. This solution is possible due to the joining of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) systems and the sharing of data, as...

The credit scoring industry has a long tradition of using statistical models for loan default probability prediction. Since this time methodology has strongly evolved, and most of the current research is dedicated to modern machine learning algorithms which contrasts with common practice in the...

Open source software (OSS) underlies much of the technology that we use in our daily lives. The existence and continuation of OSS relies on private goods – personal time and effort contributed by numerous actors (e.g. software developers) – which become public goods, the benefits of which...

The paper examines the existing shortcomings in the open-source code review process and how decentralized autonomous organizations can help optimize the code review process and quality. Optimized code reviews and code review processes, in turn, can help create open-source software standards. The...

This paper introduces the open-source Low-carbon Expansion Generation Optimization (LEGO) model. It is a multi-purpose tool to carry out numerous techno-economic analyses of the energy sector, ranging from short-term unit commitment to long-term generation and transmission expansion planning....
