Energy Models

The following energy models are used in this project (alphabetic ordering)

• CTM (Carbon Transition Model)
• EPS (Energy Potential Scan )
• ESSIM (Energy System Simulator)
• ETM (Energy Transition Model)
• MOTER (Modeler of Three Energy Regimes)
• OPERA (Option Portfolio for Emissions Reduction Assessment)
• TEACOS (Techno-Economic Analysis Of Complex Option Spaces)

The data exchange between the models is defined by the EDSL (Energy System Description Language), by which the information about an energy system can be formally defined in XML format.
