+|text_description=ZEN-garden is an open-source linear optimization model of long-term energy system transition pathways. ZEN-garden, with a modular and flexible design, can be used to optimize different types of energy systems, value chains, or other network-based systems. ZEN-garden particularly provides a detailed description of transition pathways with, among other features, cumulative or annual carbon limits, capacity expansion constraints, and construction years. Data handling is user-oriented with features covering unit consistency, scaling, and parallelizable scenario analysis. Results output by ZEN-garden are investigated on an intuitive and flexible visualization platform.
