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**

.. admonition:: Data Harmonization & Preparation
   :class: tip

   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.
