Beamer presentation: thesis defense

These are the translated and slightly changed slides to my thesis defense presentation. I share them to archive some techniques for creating over-engineered overlay specifications, combined with a mixture of TikZ, matplotlib and geospatial visuals.

• The thesis (PDF full text): Open Source Modelling and Optimisation of Energy Infrastructure at Urban Scale
• The models (GitHub repositories):
  • tum-ens/urbs: A linear optimisation model for distributed energy systems (most versatile; investment and operation planning for complex multi-commodity energy systems; draw-back: everything's linear)
  • tum-ens/rivus: A mixed integer linear optimisation model for energy infrastructure networks (think: network planning for multiple commodities like electricity, natural gas and district heating)
  • tum-ens/dhmin: Mathematical optimisation model for district energy distrubtion networks (most specific: does cost-benefit trade-off for a single commodity distribution network)
