OFFIS contributes expertise in digitalised energy system modelling and co-simulation. Additionally, OFFIS actively disseminates the activities to generate participation within the community and overall NFDI ecosystem. OFFIS provide access to and expertise about the energy labs, including labs for automation systems, hybrid co-simulations, and distributed energy management systems. These labs are a joined lab infrastructure of OFFIS and UOL. Also, knowledge from the  context of FAIR research data and software and project management is integrated into NFDI4Energy for synergistic effects.

Task Areas

OFFIS contributes to NFDI4Energy in the following task areas:

  • Task Area 1: TA-Lead, Building and serving the energy research community, particularly in assessing community requirements and needs.
  • Task Area 4: TA-Lead, FAIR Data for Energy Systems, Creation of a domain ontology for energy research, Provision of a rich set of high-quality community-agreed metadata standards covering a broad spectrum of digital objects of energy system research
  • Task Area 5: Simulation of interdisciplinary energy research, Provision of an overview of relevant simulation software and to improve existing simulation middleware to increase its general usability for energy researchers
  • Task Area 6: Lead and contribution of use case “Distributed simulation for distributed energy systems”, Provision of requirements for the standardised representation of flexibility and the integration of co-simulation systems
  • Task Area 7: TA Lead, Organization and Management, execution of the tasks for the overall project organization and management as well as orchestration of efforts with NFDI e.V.
  • Task Area 8: TA Lead, Data and Core Services, support researchers in their work by developing as well as providing core and data services for the community
