UNSEEN Project – HPC for Energy Systems Modelling Continues to Grow at JSC

October 2019 saw the launch of UNSEEN, a follow-up project to BEAM-ME, funded by BMWi for three years. The central objective is to make substantial improvements in modelling and optimizing complex energy systems using HPC infrastructure. The project’s partners are DLR in Stuttgart (DLR-TT), DLR in Oldenburg (DLR-VE), the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), GAMS GmbH, and TU Berlin. With its contributions to the project, JSC further corroborates its role in HPC-based energy systems modelling and analysis, which aims to account for increasing model complexity. The project focusses on the combination of machine learning methods and specific parallel optimization schemes, with the latter developed in the predecessor project BEAM-ME.
