GENeSYS-MOD is an open energy system model for analysing the long-term development of energy systems under climate and decarbonisation targets. The model calculates cost-optimal investments and operation across sectors such as power, industry, buildings and transport, and includes multiple energy carriers such as electricity, heat, hydrogen, ammonia and fossil fuels.
The model can be used for scenario analyses at regional, national, European or global levels, for example to explore different pathways towards a low-emission energy system by 2050. It can also provide insights into the operation of energy systems in individual years and under different operating conditions.
GENeSYS-MOD was developed by TU Berlin based on the open-source model OSeMOSYS. It has been adopted by SINTEF Energy, including through a conversion to the Julia programming language.
The model has been used, among other things, in the projects OpenENTRANCE, Havnett and FLXenabler.
