💡 Speakers:
Maximilian Parzen (CEO, Open Energy Transition)
Tobias Augspurger (Grid Mapping Lead)

– Improved open-source tool interoperability between PyPSA ↔ pandapower for a Linux Foundation Energy benchmark exercise.

As energy systems grow more complex, Integrated Energy System Planning requires seamless interaction between models. But is interoperability always valuable, or does it add unnecessary complexity?

This open webinar explored:
✅ When interoperability creates value—and when it doesn’t
✅ Challenges in data aggregation, disaggregation & model integration
✅ Best practices: APIs, middleware & modular schemas
✅ What is needed to make interoperability successful
~20min will be reserved for Q&A's and open discussions. Other experts are invited to share their thoughts.
