WP 1 Updating and extending models
Objectives
The first workpackage is devoted to updating the analytical framework for consistent scenario building by extending the core models that are currently available at the partner institutes. The models used for the PLANETS project, with miscellaneous applications on both the European and global level, are (in alphabetical order, with indication of partner):
Description of work
Task 1.1: Models comparison
Partners: FEEM, ECN, USTUTT, KANLO, ORDECSYS, UNIMAN
The models are presented and cross-compared to evaluate the distinguishing features of each of them. The potential synergies that can be created, as well as the updates and enhancements needed, are identified. State-of-the-art advancements in the prevailing scientific literature are used as a benchmark for the planning of extensions and improvements.
Task 1.2: Models enhancements
Partners: FEEM, ECN, USTUTT, KANLO, ORDECSYS, UNIMAN
The models are updated so as to reflect the latest insights with regards to the deployment of new energy technologies that are likely to play an increasing role in the near future. The models are also calibrated with the most recent data on such economic parameters as expected population growth rates, GDP growth rates, energy intensities, energy resources, autonomous energy efficiency improvements and sectoral changes in the economy.
Task 1.3: Models coordination
Partner: FEEM
The improvements of all different models as envisaged under Tasks 1 and 2 are coordinated in order to obtain the best technological, geographical and economic coverage of the ensemble of models. Potential model couplings and interactions, as well as possible feedbacks from one model into the other, are also examined.
Workpackage 1 is carried out under the co-ordination of FEEM
