Model scope and methods

Model type

  • Integrated assessment model
  • Energy system model
  • CGE
  • CBA-integrated assessment model

Geographical scope

  • Global
  • Regional

Objective

GENeSYS-MOD is aimed at creating long-term pathways for the energy system, focusing on sector-coupling of the traditionally segregated sectors electricity, buildings, industry, and transport. To achieve this, GENeSYS-MOD minimizes the net-present value of the entire energy system towards 2050. As a result, the model provides the cost-optimal capacity expansion, mix and flow of energy carriers, and emission abatement, while taking into account flexibility options and climate targets.

Solution concept

  • Partial equilibrium (price elastic demand)
  • Partial equilibrium (fixed demand)
  • General equilibrium (closed economy)

Solution horizon

  • Recursive dynamic (myopic)
  • Intertemporal optimization (foresight)
  • recursive-dynamic (myopic)

Note: as potential user choice

Solution method

  • Simulation
  • Optimization
  • Linear optimisation


Temporal dimension

Base year:2015 / 2018, time steps:flexible, horizon: 2050

Note: Reduced hourly timeseries via a timeseries reduction algorithm (described here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.113820 and here: https://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.558112.de/diw_datadoc_2017-088.pdf). Can be chosen by the user. Typically, the range of intra-yearly timesteps ranges between 18 and 120.

Spatial dimension

Number of regions:10

  1. Africa
  2. Asia-Rest
  3. China
  4. Europe
  5. India
  6. Middle East

  10. South America

Note: Apart from the global model with 10 macro-regions, there are several more detailed regional applications at either country, or sub-country level (e.g. for Europe, Germany, China, India, Mexico, Japan, South Africa, etc). It is planned to combine these datasets in an upcoming version.
