N2 - This paper outlines project TwinERGY's suggested approach to collaborative mapping of emerging energy systems with relevant stakeholders, including in particular participant consumers. The approach is based on the use of the established Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) from within the remit of System Dynamics/System Thinking techniques, as the basis of group model building. We explain how CLD is a relevant modelling technique for the problem domain of energy systems and why its qualitative nature that highlights interdependencies makes it suitable for use with participant stakeholders. Finally, we illustrate modelling examples relevant to actual project testbed deployments and initial experiment scenarios with the use of the online CLD tool LOOPY.
