Dynamic Energy Atlas

The Dynamic Energy Atlas enables to address the spatial dimension of the energy system in its full complexity. It supports mapping, monitoring, trend and scenario analysis in a quest for (new) suitable locations for energy production taking into consideration energy demand as well as technological, spatial planning land use and environmental constraints and concerns. The tool tackles possible locations for PV, residual heat exchange , wind turbines, hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass energy installations, riothermia, ...
