Within a scientific exchange between the Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (ZNES) in Flensburg, Germany, and National Laboratory Astana at Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan, oemof and the relevance of open modelling and data has been highlighted on a scientific cross-border forum between Kazakhstan and Russia. The forum was organized by Young Researchers Association at First President Foundation of Republic Kazakhstan and held over several days in Astana and Burabay.
We added a new oemof repository aiming at collecting all kinds of examples on how to use oemof and its various libraries. You are welcome to help us fill the new repo by contributing your example via a pull request or by sending us an e-mail (see here for contact information).
Also at Reiner Lemoine Institut in Berlin there is a job position to be filled:

There was a little difference that made the examples run in the last release if you installed oemof locally but not if you installed it from pypi. Thus, they did not work with version 0.1.2.
Now we learned how to test them properly, applied a hotfix and released two versions again, due to superstitions (1.3 is almost a 13). The actual version is now v.0.1.4. It is not true but a nice story and due to the open philosophy errors like these fortunately show up really quick 
Have a look at the 0.1.2 release to see the real changes and stay tuned!
The winter is gone, spring cleaning is done and we come up with a new release…
A revision of the installation guidelines and the examples will make it easier for new users to enter the world of oemof. Additionally, some new features have been imlemented besides a cleaned up code base:

A research paper that analyses how oemof addresses actual and future challenges in energy system modelling has been published by Simon Hilpert and co-authors in a preprint version. Feedback is highly appreciated!
Read the full text version or add comments at preprints.org.
The process of modelling energy systems is accompanied by challenges inherently connected with mathematical modelling. Continue reading “Preprint of oemof research paper published”
oemof – exchange, learn how to use, meet community and experience what is new.
The oemof developer group invites you for the oemof 2017 user meeting, hosted on May 9/10 at the Reiner Lemoine Institut in Berlin.
The meeting aims to connect users for exchange about how to use the framework. The growing community already developed a bunch of applications based on oemof, we would like to share among the oemof user group. Get in touch with users and developers, get inspired by applications of others and discuss new ideas! Continue reading “oemof user meeting 2017”
