Joel Schoelzel enhanced the RWTH-EBC/districtgenerator repository by expanding its scenario generation capabilities and improving model accuracy. He introduced new building types and construction years to the district generator’s CSV data, enabling more diverse and realistic planning scenarios. Addressing a key bug, Joel corrected the direction of energy flow in the electricity balance and refined the heat capacity constraint, ensuring more reliable simulation results. He also re-enabled device capacity logging to improve reporting fidelity. His work demonstrated strong skills in Python, data management, and energy systems modeling, delivering deeper data coverage and more robust optimization for district energy simulations.

August 2025 monthly summary for RWTH-EBC/districtgenerator: Key features delivered include expanding district generator data with new building types and construction years to enable more diverse scenario generation.
