1 September 2021
香港六合彩中特网 Energy Institute Director Prof Neil Strachan and Dr Pei-hao Li have published a second policy brief funded through the UKERC Modelling Hub.
The paper follows coordinated a ground-breaking survey of all UK energy models through the UK Energy Research Centre鈥檚 Energy Modelling Hub coordinated a ground-breaking survey of all UK energy models.
In this Prof Neil Strachan and Dr Pei-hao Li focus on the findings that shed light on the various strengths and weaknesses of UK energy models, looking at four key areas:
- How the models deal with time, in terms of temporal detail and overall time horizon
- How the models deal with space, in terms of geographical detail and capturing infrastructures
- How the models deal with technologies, in terms of technology learning and inclusion of key mitigation options
- How the models deal with behaviour, in terms of consumer responses and broader societal trends
The explored the models captured in the survey, focused on the UK energy modelling landscape, detailed the breadth of modelling in the UK.
