text description: The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS‑MOD) is a linear cost-minimizing optimization model being developed at Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. The project was originally based on the OSeMOSYS framework and the first version was released in 2017 using GAMS. The codebase was later translated into Julia. Both versions and a representative dataset are available on GitHub. GENeSYS‑MOD couples the demand sectors covering electricity, buildings, industry, and transport and finds the cost-optimal investment into conventional and renewable energy generation, storage, and infrastructure. The research focus is on long-term system development and pathway analysis. The model was first used to analyze decarbonization scenarios at the global level, broken down into ten regions. However, the framework is highly flexible, allowing for calculations at various levels of detail, from individual households to global aggregations, depending on the desired research question and availability of input data.
