text description: The Dispatch and Investment Evaluation Tool with Endogenous Renewables (DIETER) has initially been developed in the research project StoRES to study the role of power storage and other flexibility options in a greenfield setting with high shares of renewables. Meanwhile, several model extensions have been developed and applied to different research questions. The model determines cost-minimizing combinations of power generation, demand-side management, and storage capacities as well as their respective dispatch in both the wholesale and the reserve markets. DIETER thus captures multiple system values of energy storage and other flexibility options related to arbitrage, firm capacity, and reserves. DIETER is an open source model which may be freely used and modified by anyone. The code is licensed under the MIT license, and input data is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License. The model is implemented in the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS). Running the model thus also requires a GAMS system, an LP solver, and respective licenses.
