oemof is a framework for energy system model development and its application in energy system analysis. Currently, it bases on collaborative work of three institutions. You can clone/fork the code at github.

Containing a linear optimisation problem formulation library, feedin-data generation library and other auxiliary libraries it is meant to be developed further according to interests of user/ developer community.

Based on Python, Pyomo, Coin-OR. Using Python, PostgreSQL, PostGIS for data processing.

Model Scope

Model type and solution approach

Model class	Energy Modelling Framework
Sectors	Electricity, Heat, Mobility
Technologies	Renewables, Conventional Generation, CHP
Decisions	dispatch, investment
Regions	depends on user
Geographic Resolution	depends on user
Time resolution	Hour
Network coverage	transmission, distribution, DC load flow, net transfer capacities

Model type	Optimization, Simulation
	https://oemof.org/libraries/
Variables
Computation time	minutes (depends strongly on use of modeling framework. typically if investment decisions are enabled, a model run takes a multiple of minutes to compute)
Objective	costs, emissions
Uncertainty modeling	so far deterministic
Suited for many scenarios / monte-carlo	No
