Quickstart: Run a Scenario

From zero to results in 5 minutes

This guide shows how to pick an ISO model, launch a scenario in Veda Online (VO), and view the key outputs. No software installation, no configuration, no expertise required.

The 5-Minute Experience

  1. Browse the model library: Open the Coverage Map and select a country

  2. Explore baseline: Click Open in Veda Online to see the current energy system

  3. Choose a climate scenario: Select from 5 pre-loaded AR6 climate pathways

  4. Run & compare: Execute the scenario and compare with baseline using the Results viewer

  5. Export insights: Download charts, data, or complete model files for further analysis

What You’ll See

  • Interactive map: Your country’s energy system with demand regions, power plants, and renewable zones

  • Scenario results: Capacity expansion, generation mix, emissions, and costs through 2050

  • Comparison tools: Side-by-side analysis of different climate pathways

  • Professional outputs: Publication-ready charts and comprehensive data exports

No Barriers

  • No software: Everything runs in your web browser

  • No login: Explore models immediately without registration

  • No expertise: Pre-built models ready for immediate policy analysis

  • No waiting: Cloud infrastructure handles complex optimizations

  • No need to become a builder: Start from a solved national model and focus on questions, not on months of data preparation.
