OEO develops, maintains, and publishes open-source computer code and data used in energy systems models. OEO uses Tools for Energy Model Optimization and Analysis Opens in new window(Temoa Opens in new window) Python-based optimization model. Temoa takes as input user-specified fuel prices, end-use demands, technology cost and performance characteristics, and policy specifications and projects the least cost expansion and retirement of energy technologies that convert, store, and move energy from extraction to consumption. By modeling the full energy system, Temoa captures key interdependencies among technology and policyOEO develops and maintains a detailed Temoa input database Opens in new window for the United States. Additional resources are available at the model website Opens in new window.
