From Fall 2024 through Spring 2026 Catalyst will be organizing a series of seminars and workshops centered on familiarizing early-career researchers with US open energy data and open source tools and techniques for working with it.
Upcoming Workshops
Tour de Plants: Unpacking Four Essential Open US Energy Datasets
- Wednesday, Dec. 4th, 2024, 3:30-5:00 pm Eastern
- Register for Free on Eventbrite
This is the second installation of a year-long workshop & seminar series focused on helping early career energy systems researchers get more familiar with data management and software development. There’s no cost to participants. This work has been supported by the Sloan Foundation.
This webinar will cover financial, electrical infrastructure, energy production, and emissions data at mostly annual and monthly granularities. We’ll go in depth on FERC Form 1, EIA 923, EIA 860/860M, and EPA CEMS hourly emissions. We’ll also talk about key differences between FERC, EIA, and EPA data. For each dataset, we’ll cover what information is in it, where to access it, key inconsistencies and data challenges, and some examples of research applications using the dataset.
This will take the format of several short presentations followed by Q&A.
