Abstract

This paper discusses the mathematical analogy of the Open-Source Energy Modeling System (OSeMOSYS). It describes the algebraic formulation of the model by providing a plain description of sets, parameters and variables used in each block. As statisticians and economists, we are interested in mathematical development more than code implementation, so the added value of this paper is that it treats the detailed algebraic formulation which is developed from its latest full source code., we provide each block with a plain description of sets, parameters and variables used in each block of the OSeMOSYS with the detailed equations by making the passage from conditions used in the source code to simple solutions in order to have simple equations.
