June 11th 2020 | The first version of the Open Energy Ontology (OEO) is released today. The OEO standardizes the language in energy system analysis, enabling better research in these key areas: It improves exchange between energy system models, the exchange of data and scenarios, and it increases their transparency and re-usability. Ontologies are formal...

June 10th 2020 | Today’s kick-off meeting marks the beginning of the two-year research project UMAS that will investigate the future use of the Berlin Natural Gas Storage Facility, which has been shut down since 2017, as an energy storage facility for electricity from renewable sources. In this project, RLI is modeling the energy system...

04.05. | On 29.04.2020 the kick-off workshop of the workshop series in the Netz_eLOG project took place – onlie, due to the current Corona situation.

05.03. | The project Netz_eLOG (Intelligent grid integration of electrified logistics) was shifted into gear on February 27, 2020 with a successful kickoff. Over the next three years, the consortium of engineering partner IAV, grid operator E.DIS, and project lead Reiner Lemoine Institute will investigate how large electric vehicle fleets can be charged in a...

08.02. | The RLI was founded ten years ago today. We would like to thank all of the people who have made the institute a unique place in its ten years. Thank you to our founders at the Reiner Lemoine Foundation, to all supporters, sponsors, clients and administrative personnel who have made our research possible....

Off-grid Renewable Energy can have significant merits over grid expansion + has the potential to reduce needed investments and greenhouse gas emissions + provides pathways for green growth, improved livelihoods and sustainable development 29.01. | Achieving universal electrification by 2030 (SDG7) implies the provision of electricity access to more than 1.2 billion people cumulatively, of...

22.01. | In January the openmod workshop returned to Berlin for its 5 year anniversary – celebrated with around 200 participants. Cheers to that from everyone at the Reiner Lemoine Institute and we are glad to see how much interest in Open Source and Open Data has been growing since 2014. Congratulations also to the...
