|ModelTypeOption=Energy system model
|GeographicalScopeOption=Regional
|Objective=REMod is a national energy system model with a focus on cross-sectoral system development. It's used to analyze long-term transformation pathways of the whole energy system, including technological transformation in the end-use sectors. The model has been used mainly for Germany and is currently being adapted for other European countries.

It's rather unique approach of simulation-based optimization allows REMod to optimize capacity expansion and technological transformation in the end-use sectors on an annual basis while simulating the system in high detail on an hourly basis.
|SolutionConceptOption=Partial equilibrium (fixed demand)
|SolutionHorizonOption=Intertemporal optimization (foresight)
|SolutionMethodOption=Optimization
|SolutionMethod=Simulation-based optimization
|Anticipation=The optimization of the transformation path assumes perfect foresight, while the underlying simulation of energy system operation is based on a 24-hour forecast with uncertainties.
|BaseYear=2015
|TemporalText=Exogenous restrictions on the optimization path can be given (e.g. spline interpolation with fixed number of knots) to reduce yearly fluctuations and reduce number of free parameters.
|TimeSteps=yearly
|Horizon=2050
|Nr=flexible, currently up to 10
|Region=Germany; German federal states; European states
|SpatialText=Spatial scope is flexible: regions can be chosen based on research focus and regions can be aggregated based on German federal states and/or European national states.
|TimeDiscountingTypeOption=Discount rate exogenous
|PoliciesOption=Emission tax; Emission pricing; Fuel taxes; Capacity targets; Energy efficiency standards
|Policies=Phase out regulations
