Open Energy Platform documentation#
The Open Energy Platform (OEP) is an open research data infrastructure for energy system research. Researchers publish openly licensed data on it, from scenario projections to model inputs and results, described with FAIR metadata (OEMetadata) and annotated with the Open Energy Ontology (OEO), so others can find, compare and reuse it. Beside the database, the OEP hosts scenario bundles, which link a scenario's data, studies and models in the Open Energy Knowledge Graph, and factsheets that describe energy system models and frameworks. Everything is available in the browser and through a REST API. The OEP is the web interface of the Open Energy Family: openly developed tools, standards and an ontology, built by universities and research institutes.
What do you want to do?#
-
Understand the OEP and the Open Energy Family
What the platform is for, how it works together with the ontology, the metadata standard and the knowledge graph, and who builds it.
-
Use the platform
Find and download data, upload and describe your own, and take part in reviews, all in the browser.
The Academy's courses and tutorials guide you through it step by step.

-
Use the API
Read and write tables, metadata and scenario bundles from your own code.
-
Install or develop
Run your own instance, set up a development environment, or contribute to the code.
