Energy Systems
|
The primary goal of the Energy Systems theme is to bring together the best modelling expertise in the UK and integrate it into a world-class modelling research effort.
The UK energy-economic system is extremely complex and hence requires sophisticated tools: approaches designed to investigate different aspects of the integrated system.
As a result modelling dominates the debate on UK and international energy policies, for example on the costs of climate change mitigation.
Approach
The Energy Systems theme maintain and develops comprehensive UK capacity in E4 (energy-economic-engineering-environment) modelling, notably the technology focused energy systems model family (MARKAL, MED, MARKAL-Macro), TIAM-UCL, OSeMOSYS and others.
