This paper presents a thorough review of 75 modelling tools currently used for analysing
energy and electricity systems. Increased activity within model development in recent years …

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is broadly recognised as having the potential to play a
key role in meeting climate change targets, delivering low carbon heat and power …

The costs for solar photovoltaics, wind, and battery storage have dropped markedly since
2010, however, many recent studies and reports around the world have not adequately …

We analyze 36 years of global, hourly weather data (1980–2015) to quantify the covariability
of solar and wind resources as a function of time and location, over multi-decadal time …

This study addresses the greatest concern facing the large-scale integration of wind, water,
and solar (WWS) into a power grid: the high cost of avoiding load loss caused by WWS …

Optimization-based frameworks for energy system modeling such as TIMES, ETHOS. FINE,
or PyPSA have emerged as important tools to outline a cost-efficient energy transition …

The design of cost-effective power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy
(VRE) technologies requires a modelling approach that simultaneously represents the …

Integrating a high share of electricity from non-dispatchable Renewable Energy Sources in a
power supply system is a challenging task. One option considered in many studies dealing …

The importance of spatial resolution for energy modelling has increased in the last years.
Incorporating more spatial resolution in energy models presents wide benefits, but it is not …

Energy systems are quickly evolving through the development of new technologies and the
emergence of new operational and market design paradigms. In particular, the global push …
