4th Workshop (10 July 2017)

The data platform has now been online for half a year, during which some extensions have been made that we will present during the workshop.

We will welcome speakers from other energy related data projects to share their experience with open data and discuss ways to further extend the Open Power System Data platform in the future.

In order to demonstrate how to get the most out of the data, we will offer hands-on user tutorials on some selected topics in the afternoon. Please let us know through the registration form which tutorial you would be interested in. Please bring your laptops.

As always, workshop and tutorial are free of charge. Please register here.

Download the workshop slides (slides will be available in the morning of the workshop).

A livestream will be available. In order to access:

  • Tick “Als Gast eintreten”
  • Write your name (or something else) in the field “Name”
  • Click “Betreten Sie den Raum”

Using the webstream requires a browser that can handle Adobe Connect / Flash, e.g. Chrome. Other browsers like Firefox may also work if respective plugins are installed. Please note that the chat function is not activated.
