This repository contains results obtained via the different models developed during the open_MODEX project which is an effort to get insight into the different approaches on energy system modelling by comparing five different energy modelling frameworks. One part of this comparison is the development of different energy models using each framework. The different models conform to scenarios which are the same for each framework. By comparing the results obtained using each framwork's model for a given scenario, we obtain a practical way of gauging the differences between the frameworks.
The repository root contains a folder for each framework that is part of the comparison. These folders in turn contain subfolders for each scenario. These subfolders are named by numeric identifiers whose meaning follows the table under Directory Scenario Mapping. Finally, the scenario folders contain CSV files with the results of a model of the given scenario implemented using the given framework. These CSV files are named according to the table under Result Filenames. The repository root also contains documentation or other auxiliary files which should be self explanatory.
Generally, the repository structure should look something like this:
