ELMOD-DE represents the German electricity system on a nodal level with hourly resolution for the year 2012. It is an open-source model which may be freely used and modified by anyone. The code is licensed under the MIT License. Some of the input data is licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL). To view a copy of these licenses, click here and here. Whenever you use this model, please refer to http://www.diw.de/elmod. We are happy to receive your feedback.
The model is implemented in the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS). Running the model thus requires a GAMS system, an LP solver, and the respective licenses. We use the commercial solver CPLEX, but other LP solvers work as well.
Below you find an overview of available ELMOD-DE versions that include model applications, descriptions, and documentations. The ZIP files include the GAMS code and an Excel file with all necessary input parameters.
