Das Projekt "Schaffung eines europaeischen Netzes fuer den Energiedatenaustausch" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Stuttgart, Institut für Energiewirtschaft und Rationelle Energieanwendung durchgeführt. Several European and global energy system models including PRIMES, POLES, SAFIRE, MARKAL and TIMES have been developed during the last decade. Increased harmonisation of scenario assumptions, easier accessibility of input data and results would improve future modelling activities and increase the value of obtained results for policy advisory. The key element of this proposal is the establishment of a European energy data exchange network (EDEN) with the common European energy database accessible via the Internet. It will contain model related energy data including energy technology data for conventional, renewable and new technologies, documented scenario assumptions, detailed results from energy system models as well as historical data on energy consumption and conversion for all EU countries.
