Integrating Knowledge Acquisition, Visualization, and Dissemination in Energy System Models: BENOPTex Study

While storytelling and visualization have always been recognized as invaluable techniques for imparting knowledge across generations, their importance has become even more evident in the present information age abundance of complex data grows exponentially. These can simplify convoluted concepts communicate them a way to be intelligible diverse audiences, bringing together heterogeneous stakeholders fostering collaboration. In field energy climate research, there is an increasing demand make sophisticated models outcomes explainable comprehensible audience laypersons. Unfortunately, traditional tools methods may inefficient provide meaning input output values; therefore, this study, we employ tool, so-called Academic Presenter, digest various datasets visualize extended BioENergy OPTimization model (BENOPTex) different online offline formats. The developed tool facilitates communications among collaborators with broad spectrum backgrounds by transforming into visually appealing stories. Although study focuses on designing ideal user interface BENOPTex, features learned lessons replicated other system models.
