Integrated Energy System Model

Summary
The existing TIMES-PanEU energy optimisation model will be further developed/updated, which will include the incorporation of new insights derived from the case studies assessed in the other work packages in order to provide a more detailed overview of the EU energy system. The existing supply and demand sectors will be updated to adequately represent the SET-Plan in the model, including new behavioural aspects driving energy demand (WP4). The model targets appropriate horizons, e.g., 2030 or 2050, to assess the reaction of the energy system in terms of emissions and energy demands (WP3). The horizon chosen reflects important energy and climate objectives. The existing load curves will be adapted for the various demand sectors (e.g., transport, residential, industry) in response to the changing energy system (e.g., due to the integration of renewables).
