General
OSeMOSYS is an open-source modeling system for long-run integrated assessment and energy planning. It has been employed to develop energy systems models from the scale of the globe, continents, countries, regions, and villages. It can focus on detailed power representations or multi-resource (material, financial, all energy) systems.
Over 60 national models and data kits are documented and available for free.
OSeMOSYS is a full-fledged systems optimization model for long-run energy planning. The initial working code of OSeMOSYS was published in 2008 in a presentation at the International Energy Workshop in Paris at the IEA Then called SoftMESSAGE, it was later renamed OSeMOSYS and a dedicated website was set up the following year.
