Abstract
Abstract This paper describes OSeMOSYS Global, an open-source, open-data model generator for creating globalelectricity system models for an active global modelling community. This version of the model generator is freelyavailable and can be used to create interconnected electricity system models for both the entire globe and forany geographically diverse subset of the globe. Compared to other existing global models, OSeMOSYS Globalallows for full user flexibility in determining the time slice structure and geographic scope of the model anddatasets, and is built using the widely used fully open-source OSeMOSYS energy system model. This paperdescribes the data sources, structure and use of OSeMOSYS Global, and provides illustrative workflow results.
