Introduction
Welcome to the full documentation on the Brabant energy system digital twin tool.
The tool has been made as a digital twin with elements of a serious game, aimed at policy makers. The main goal of the game is for policy makers to gain insight into the system effects, key choices and trade-offs when creating sustainability strategies for their neighborhoods. We start by modelling indivdual households in neighborhoods and scale-up to show grid congestion and availability of heat sources on a provincial level.
Do you want to get started or link to some further documentation? This documentation contains details on the user interface, results, calculations and data. See the full documentation Contents. The documentation can be valuable for both users and modellers.
Besides this you can the links underneath to navigate to the source code of both models, and the tool itself.
