Artelys Introduces Future Sight: a Visualisation Tool Supporting the Energy Transition

11 June 2025

As partner in the European Climate + Energy Modeling Forum (ECEMF) - a Horizon 2020 Europe project uniting research institutes and leading energy modellers in Europe - Artelys has contributed to modeling activities powered by Artelys Crystal Super Grid modelisation tool, and has led the development of a fully-fledged visualisation tool.  

Introducing: Future Sight, an open source interactive data-crawling tool to create full dashboards to supplement – or – create reports and showcases.

The tool, that originally was a simple dashboard for showcasing data to stakeholders, evolved into a user-friendly bridge between the public and the scientific community, allowing anyone to easily dive into the data behind the cogs and wheels, and produce quick visualisation in a few clicks.

We had the pleasure of holding showcase sessions with members of the European Commission as well as members of the Polish government to garner feedback on how to perfect the tool for its communication purpose.

What is hiding behind the hood of this tool, is a Node / React stack in typescript, using plotly as graph library, and a clever UI allowing any user to translate simple selection inputs and checkboxes to transform their ideal charts into a data query to our partner’s database, and plotly configuration for proper customisation of the chart.

The project is available on GitHub if you’d like to check it out or fork it for your visualisation needs. As the ECEMF Horizon 2020 project draws close to an end, Future Sight will find a home in new visualisation needs, such as Artelys Crystal Super Grid.

Supercharging Optimisation: How Artelys, FICO and NVIDIA cuOpt Join Efforts to Scale Up Energy System Optimisation

As energy system models continue to scale—reaching up to hundreds of millions of variables and constraints—traditional CPU-based optimisation solvers are hitting performance and memory bottlenecks. These increasingly complex models are essential for planning Europe’s energy transition, yet solving them within realistic timeframes has become a pressing challenge.
