The Electricity Systems Optimisation (ESO) framework contains a suite of power system capacity expansion and unit commitment models at different levels of spatial and temporal resolution and modelling complexity. Available for download is the single-node model with long-term capacity expansion from 2015 to 2050 in 5 yearly time steps and at hourly discretisation including endogenous technology cost learning (ESO-XEL) as perfect foresight and myopic foresight planning option.
Based on GAMS; CPLEX. Using R for data processing.
