Benchmarking¶
Open-TYNDP includes a structured benchmarking framework that runs automatically with every workflow execution. It provides systematic, reproducible comparisons of Open-TYNDP model outcomes against official TYNDP 2024 reference data for both the Scenario Building (SB) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) phases.
- Scenario Building outcomes are compared against the TYNDP 2024 Market Model Output Files and the TYNDP 2024 Final Scenario Report.
- Cost-Benefit Analysis indicators are benchmarked for all calculated indicators and all projects against the official TYNDP 2024 CBA results.
Benchmarking results continue to be published with every release on Zenodo (currently only Scenario Building results). View the project website for a detailed explanation of the results.
Warning
Open-TYNDP is under active development and is not yet feature-complete. As of v0.7, Open-TYNDP was successfully benchmarked against TYNDP 2024 (see outcomes). The current development status and the general Limitations are important to understand before using the model.
Benchmarking Methodology¶
The benchmarking is based on the methodology proposed by Wen et al. (2022). This methodology provides a multi-criteria approach to ensure:
- the diversity (each indicator has its own added value),
- the effectiveness (each indicator provides essential and correct information),
- the robustness (against diverse units and orders of magnitude), and
- the compatibility (can be used to compare across countries) of the selected set of indicators.
This methodology defines the following accuracy indicators:
- Missing: Count of carriers / sectors dropped due to missing values.
- sMPE (Symmetric Mean Percentage Error): Indicates the direction of the deviation, showing if outputs are overall overestimated or underestimated.
- sMAPE (Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error): Indicates the absolute magnitude of the deviations, avoiding the cancellation of negative and positive errors.
- sMdAPE (Symmetric Median Absolute Percentage Error): Provides skewness information to complement sMAPE.
- RMSLE (Root Mean Square Logarithmic Error): Complements the percentage errors by showing logarithmic deviation values.
- Growth error: Shows the error on the temporal scale. This indicator is not applied to dynamic time series (i.e. hourly generation profiles).
Scenario Building Benchmarking¶
Metrics¶
The following metrics from the TYNDP 2024 Scenarios Report are considered relevant for Scenario Building benchmarking:
-
Exogenous inputs:
-
Final energy demand by fuel, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 5, p24 and Fig 51, p63)
- Electricity demand per sector, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 6, p25 and Fig 52, p63)
- Methane demand by sector, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 8, p27 and Fig 53, p64)
-
Hydrogen demand by sector, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 10, p28 and Fig 54, p64)
-
Investment and dispatch modelling outputs:
-
Net installed capacity for electricity generation, EU27 (GW), (Fig 25, p39 and Fig 55, p65)
- Electricity generation, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 26, p39 and Fig 56, p65)
- Methane supply, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 32, p45 and Fig 57, p66)
- Hydrogen supply, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 33, p46 and Fig 58, p67)
- Biomass supply, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 59, p67)
- Energy imports, EU27 (TWh), (Fig 40, p51 and Fig 60, p68)
- Hourly generation profile of power generation, (Fig 30, p35)
The data is published in the Scenarios package. In addition to the Scenarios Report data, data from the Market Model Outputs and the Visualisation Platform are also processed and included in the relevant figures.
Hourly time series from TYNDP 2024 are aggregated to match the temporal resolution of
Open-TYNDP. Summary tables are computed for both overall and per-carrier results. Spatially
resolved benchmarking at bus and country level is available via the
benchmarking.spatial.by_bus and benchmarking.spatial.by_country configuration keys.
Workflow¶
The SB benchmarking workflow is controlled by config/benchmarking.default.yaml.
retrieve_tyndp: Retrieve the TYNDP 2024 Scenarios Report Data Figures package.clean_tyndp_report_benchmark: Read and process the raw Scenarios Report data into a long-format table.clean_tyndp_vp_data: Read and process the Visualisation Platform data into a long-format table.clean_tyndp_output_benchmark: Read and process the Market Model Outputs, including cross-border flows, prices, and country and EU27 level values.build_statistics: Compute benchmarking statistics from the optimised network for every planning horizon.make_benchmark: Compute accuracy indicators comparing model outcomes against the Market Model Outputs, Scenarios Report, and Visualisation Platform.make_benchmarks: Collect outputs from allmake_benchmarkruns.plot_benchmark: Generate visualisation outputs.plot_benchmarks: Collect outputs from allplot_benchmarkruns.
The full set of benchmarking output files is stored under results/benchmarks/tyndp-2024/:

The structure of these outputs can be validated in the published preliminary benchmarking results on Zenodo.

Cost-Benefit Analysis Benchmarking¶
CBA indicators computed by Open-TYNDP are benchmarked against the official TYNDP 2024 CBA results for all calculated indicators (B1-B4) and all transmission projects. The comparison covers both individual climate year runs and multi-climate year averages.
Metrics¶
The following CBA indicators are benchmarked:
- B1: Social Economic Welfare (SEW): Quantifies the change in operational system costs (socio-economic welfare).
- B2: Social costs of CO2 emissions: Calculates the impact using societal cost assumptions (low, central, high).
- B3: RES integration costs: Tracks changes in renewable capacity, generation, and avoided curtailment.
- B4: Non-direct greenhouse emissions: Quantifies pollutants (NOx, SO2, PM, etc.) using fuel consumption multipliers.
Per Climate Year¶
Indicators are first benchmarked for each individual climate year run (e.g. CY2009, CY2008, CY1995). This allows deviations to be traced to specific weather conditions and isolates the effect of inter-annual climate variability on project benefits. For each climate year, all four indicators (B1–B4) are compared against the TYNDP 2024 reference values for every transmission project.
Averaged Indicators¶
Following the TYNDP 2024 methodology, indicators are also compared after averaging across the three climate years. A weighted average is calculated using weights for each climate year provided by the TYNDP 2024 CBA Implementation Guidelines: 0.233 for 1995, 0.367 for 2008 and 0.4 for 2009.
This averaged comparison is the primary benchmarking target, as it reflects the same aggregation approach used in the official TYNDP 2024 CBA. Deviations in the averaged indicators provide the most direct measure of how closely Open-TYNDP reproduces the official CBA outcomes at the project level.
Workflow¶
The CBA benchmarking workflow runs automatically after the CBA solve steps and produces
per-indicator, per-project comparison figures and summary tables for both the individual
climate year and averaged results. Output files follow the same structure as the SB
benchmarking and are stored under results/[run]/cba/.
