OpenMod: Developing an open-source power system model for South Africa

March 2023 | Energy system modelling, Projects

OpenMod is an open-source initiative to develop a comprehensive power system model tailored for South Africa. Built upon the PyPSA-ZA framework, the project delivers an updated power capacity expansion and dispatch model. Published on GitHub for transparency and collaboration, the model serves as a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers, and energy stakeholders. The project also included stakeholder workshops to explain the model’s functionality and applications, promoting its effective use in decision-making for the country’s energy transition.
