2025.09 dev meeting retrospective

For the last three days, we were meeting at HTW in Berlin for our semi-annual developer meeting. Here are some of the key results:

  • We plan to have an improved lecture/ tutorial session, that might eventually develop into a summer school.
  • There will be a release of oemof.solph mid November. It will include whatever is done until then.
  • Costs calculations in oemof.solph will be aligned with VDI 2067. We plan to distinguish between energy-related costs (€/kWh), capacity related operational costs (€/kW/a), fixed operational costs (€/a) for OPEX and capacity related investment costs (€/kW/a) as well as an investment cost offset (€/a) for CAPEX. At the moment, we group by units, and thus have CAPEX and OPEX mixed.
  • The SubNetworks, we decided to have at the oemof 2025.02 developer meeting are functional, an example is merged in dev.
  • There is a software implementing robust optimisation. We plan to release something along these lines (as rolph).
  • Some of use will create an awareness concept. For upcoming meetings, there will be an awareness team you can contact if you do feel uncomfortable because of other participants or externals. We will also try to organise ourselves so that you can feel save on your trip back to the hotel.

See you next time (in Nordhausen)!

2025.09 Developer Meeting in Berlin: Save the Date 

We just got the feedback that the next oemof meeting will be hosted by Reiner Lemoine Institut from September 15th to 17th at HTW Berlin. Due to the limited room capacity it will come as a developer meeting. Save the date and contribute, if you are interested! (Beginners, in particular first-time contributors, will get guidance, of course.) 

We created a wiki page for the Meeting 2025.09 to work on the agenda. 
 To register, you can either add your name to the linked Wiki page at GitHub, use the registration form, comment this post, or write an email to meetings@oemof.org.
