Building and serving the energy research community

Energy system research has become more and more reliant on modelling and simulation approaches. These endeavours are enabled by continuously improving tools and methods for developing, maintaining and sharing of digital objects (DO) in research, namely models and data. Knowledge on how to better conduct, share, and archive one’s research has become increasingly complex and challenging to manage for individual researchers or single research groups. However, there exists a plethora of best practices, guidelines on how to prepare data, models, and results in ways that make them easier to discover, verify, and build upon. In this task area, we follow a requirements-driven process that takes the envisioned users, in particular energy researchers, into focus to ultimately provide a collection of best practices for energy researchers. The requirements analysis also informs the design process of the NFDI4Energy service portfolios. The most prominent product of our work will be the service Best Practice, which curates and presents the current best practices from the energy system research community.

Objectives

Collect and update service portfolio requirements by the energy research communities
Create a collection for sharing best practices, community guidelines and access points to the community services
Continuously monitor, adapt and improve offerings to community feedback
Develop guidelines materials and tutorials for best practice in energy system research
