The gas market model GAMAMOD is a bottom-up model used to determine and analyze the optimal natural gas supply structure in Germany and to examine the utilization of the natural gas infrastructure. In its basic version, the model is a Linear Program with a high spatial resolution and daily time steps. It contains more than 800 nodes and 1200 edges, while also taking into account parallel transmission lines, storage, and changes to demand and the grid as year progress. It's main outputs are optimal flow, imports, storage usage and retrofitting.
GAMAMOD enables the analysis of trading capacities between regional markets. Due to restricted transmission capacities, regional incidences of congestions might occur. The model allows for examining supply interruptions and their impact on the European natural gas system. As each country is modelled as a single aggregated node, no congestions occur within a market area. Furthermore, the model considers natural gas storage, which ensures security of supply in the European natural gas market.
Cyprus and Malta are isolated from the integrated European natural gas pipeline grid. Therefore, they are not considered in the model.
Based on GAMS; CPLEX. Using for data processing.
