ZEN-garden: Optimizing energy transition pathways with user-oriented data handling

Welcome to the ZEN-garden: ZEN-garden is an open-source optimization software to model multi-year energy system transition pathways. To support research focused on the transition of sector-coupled energy systems toward net-zero emissions, ZEN-garden is built upon two principles: Optimizing highly co...
