Abstract:
Including more renewable energy sources in the energy mix will increase the necessity for a finer grained, automatic control of changes in the energy level. Any such software needs extensive testing before it can be released for general availability. Simulation environments will be a part in these testing stacks, but need realistic input data in order to yield expressive and therefore useful results. However, comprehensive input data is often not available or fragmented. We therefore propose a simulation environment that can use open data sources, switch them dynamically, and attribute the testing results with a possible data quality impact.
