OSeMOSYS-the FIRST SEVEN years of development, after which it, took off!
Please see the Newsletter for more recent events (After 2015 the diagram got too crowed!)
Background
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 (the date stamped pdf with the original code can be found here). Then called SoftMESSAGE, it was later renamed OSeMOSYS and a dedicated website was set up the following year.
Community
OSeMOSYS community welcomes professionals and experts from different levels: decision makers, policy officers, energy planners, developers of new model functionalities, programmers. All your valuable comments and contributions are welcomed!
You'll find a 'user discussion' forum here, if you are getting started and want help.
And the GitHub site here if you want to contribute, report bugs or request features.
If you are doing something interesting and like it referenced, please register and add it to the Wiki.
Contacts
The primary OSeMOSYS GitHub lead Will Usher of KTH, the news letters by Agnese Baltramo of KTH, the Steering Committee Meeting is being convened by Taco Neit of Simon Frazer University and the website is maintained by Mark Howells of Loughborough University and Imperial College.
