No special permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. # Open Source Modelling and Simulation of the Nordic Hydro Power System†. In this paper, we present the results from the development and the simulation of a hydro power model for Sweden and Norway, using SpineOpt software and openly available data. We employ (i) hydrological and market data from the Nordic region and (ii) the abstract representation of the multi-vector modelling and simulation engine SpineOpt, to compile an open-source model of a large portion of the hydro power plants of the Nordic region, for conducting realistic hydro power generation studies.

# Plant Design. ## What is plant design software? Plant Design software is used to help plant engineers and designers to design and build models and digital twins in a 3D plant design environment to model piping, mechanical, HVAC, and electrical components primarily in mining, water and wastewater, process, and power generation, in an open, intuitive, and collaborative environment. ## What is the best Plant Design Software? Improve your plant design, analysis, and collaborative operations process with comprehensive plant design and engineering software. Quickly create 3D designs of your plant piping, HVAC, and mechanical and electrical equipment in an open and collaborative digital twin environment. Plant Design WorkSuite is a collection of plant design software solutions that helps to deliver mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers and designers the tools to design virtually any process plant project. Bentley Plant Design software is used by design engineers and owners across all aspects of the plant lifecycle, from initial design through to construction and operations.

Code for Axial and Cross-flow TUrbine Simulation (CACTUS) is a turbine performance simulation code, based on a free wake vortex method, under development at Sandia National Laboratories as part of a Department of Energy program to study marine hydrokinetic (MHK) devices. The MHKiT open-source code is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Development and application of the Paracousti code is led by Sandia National Laboratories and Montana State University. SNL-Delft3D-CEC code incorporates a state-of-the-art current energy conversion (CEC) module within the structured grid version of the open source Delft3D-FLOW software. Sandia National Laboratories Simulating WAves Nearshore (SNL-SWAN) is a modification of the open source SWAN code. Development and application of the SNL-SWAN code is led by Sandia National Laboratories with the support of many external collaborators. WDRT is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. WEC-Sim is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Many projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office (H2O) result in web-based tools, datasets, or other contributions to collective water power knowledge. H2O's tools, datasets, and information resources can help water power stakeholders better understand, develop, and deploy hydropower and marine energy technologies. ### Hydropower Tools and Datasets. | The EHA database is an annually updated point-level dataset that describes key information for operational hydropower and pumped storage assets in the U.S. It is one of the most up-to-date places to find nationwide information about hydropower like plant capacity, location, dam and owner characteristics, and annual energy generation. | HydroSource is an innovative digital platform consisting of comprehensive data and diverse tools on U.S. hydropower assets that enables data-driven decision making at the water-energy nexus. Users can find a plethora of data related to many types of hydropower and water development including (but not limited to) new stream reach development, non-powered dam development, existing hydropower assets, and fish passage to drive their own use cases.
