Datasets
The AETOS model is built on openly available and institutional datasets, processed into a consistent OSeMOSYS-ready format to support transparent and reproducible analysis.
Input Assumptions
Input Assumption Files
The AETOS model uses a collection of Excel files for assumptions on capacity, demand, fuel supply, trade, and techno-economics. Each file is linked to openly available datasets and institutional sources.

Processing Methods
Data Harmonization & Preparation
The input datasets were processed into consistent OSeMOSYS-ready formats to ensure transparency, comparability, and reproducibility. The main steps included:
Unit Harmonization → All energy and capacity data converted into consistent units (PJ, TWh, bcm, GW).
Code Mapping → Alignment of national ISO codes with the OSeMOSYS regional and technology structure.
Gap-Filling → Missing data filled using proxies from trusted sources (IEA, IRENA, UN datasets).
Transformation Pipelines → Automated Python scripts standardize raw data into clean CSV templates ready for the model.
