clicSAND for OSeMOSYS: a user-friendly interface using open-source optimisation software for energy system modelling analysis

A new interface is presented—clicSAND—for OSeMOSYS, which shortens the learning curve and supports beginner energy modellers to perform long-term investment analyses efficiently and shows the results achieved by inexperienced users following a three-week training course.

Designing a Model for the Global Energy System—GENeSYS-MOD: An Application of the Open-Source Energy Modeling System (OSeMOSYS)

A path for the global energy system up to 2050 is developed, presenting a new application of the open-source energy modeling system (OSeMOSYS) to the community, with main focus on interdependencies between traditionally segregated sectors: electricity, transportation, and heating; which are all included in the model.

OSeMOSYS Energy Modeling Using an Extended UTOPIA Model

An extended version of this model to help non-expert individuals fully grasp its powerful yet easy-to-use capabilities and for energy professionals new to the field of energy modeling to learn how to use a techno-economic approach is proposed.
