A TIMES/MIRO App

The TIMES/MIRO App was developed as an open-source GUI for TIMES models and it is published under an open-source license on GitHub. It can be installed locally or on a MIRO Server for web access. When locally installed, a free GAMS demo license is sufficient to use the App and solve large-scale models through the TIMES Cloud Service. The App is an interface that provides ETSAP community the possibility to outreach new users of TIMES in developing countries, where budgeting constraints can be a limitation, or to allow potential interested users in developed countries to try and explore the framework before they decide to move to the more sophisticated VEDA interface.
