Energy systems analyses are integrated elements in planning the transition towards
renewable energy-based energy systems. This is due to a growing complexity arising from …

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 …

The requirements made on energy system models have changed during the last few
decades. New challenges have arisen with the implementation of high shares of Renewable …

Large-scale deployment of intermittent renewable energy (namely wind energy and solar
PV) may entail new challenges in power systems and more volatility in power prices in …

Energy systems models are important methods used to generate a range of insight and
analysis on the supply and demand of energy. Developed over the second half of the …

The traditional paradigm of centralised electricity systems is being disrupted by increasing
levels of distributed generation. It is unclear as to what level of distributed generation is …

Energy system optimization models (ESOMs) are widely used to generate insight that
informs energy and environmental policy. Using ESOMs to produce policy-relevant insight …

Due to the high degree of intermittency of renewable energy sources (RES) and the growing
interdependences amongst formerly separated energy pathways, the modeling of adequate …

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 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 …
