The environment in which TIMES models are made.
If you build TIMES models, you already know Veda — the standard environment through which the global TIMES community builds and runs its models. Its purpose has never changed: absorb the mechanics of modeling into the platform, so your hours go into the energy system, not the plumbing.
What Veda takes off your desk
Precision without drudgery
Veda transforms the data-heavy, intricate mechanics of TIMES modeling into an intuitive, efficient process. It is the backbone of energy system modeling for TIMES — designed so that modelers engage with structure, scenarios, and judgment rather than technical barriers.
Intuitive data handling
Preparation, management, and transformation of large datasets — without manual bookkeeping. Every table traceable, every change tracked.
Scenario exploration
Rapid what-if testing with real-time insight into how the system responds to policy, technology, and market changes.
No programming required
Energy professionals from any background can engage deeply with models. Domain awareness is the prerequisite — not code.
Results analysis & reporting
From raw solution to communicable insight in one workflow, with reporting structures that survive model growth.
Veda Online
The same power. A shared browser tab.
Veda Online carries the Veda 2.0 data engine into the cloud: browser-based access to full modeling workflows, multiple users on the same project, real-time sharing of scenarios and results, interactive dashboards for stakeholders — and updates that arrive without maintenance.
It is where the builder's environment and the user's environment begin to meet: modelers run and refine; collaborators and stakeholders explore and interrogate — in the same place.
Cloud-based access
Projects available anywhere; workflows seamless across teams and geographies.
True collaboration
Multiple users, one project — scenarios and results shared as they happen.
Visualization & reporting
Interactive dashboards that make insights communicable beyond the modeling team.
Effortless updates
Cloud infrastructure keeps every user on the latest version, with minimal maintenance.
Builders are not our past. They are our premise.
Raising the cognitive level of model building is the core competence everything else at KanORS rests on. Veda is where that competence lives — and it keeps evolving with the community that uses it.
