Article
Full-text available
Demand-side mitigation strategies have been gaining momentum in climate change mitigation research. Still, the impact of different approaches in passenger transport, one of the largest energy demand sectors, remains unclear. We couple a transport simulation model to an energy system optimisation model, both highly disintegrated in order to compare...
Article
To meet the net zero emission target by 2045, Germany has planned to phase out coal from electricity production by 2038 and increase electricity production from alternative sources through technological advancements. We examine the impacts of related measures on CO2 emissions, electricity security, and economic output at national and regional level...

Full-text available
Energy system modeling is a commonly used method to provide policy recommendations and insight to transformation pathways of energy systems. However, the low open-source availability of the frameworks in practice often leads to low interpretability and transparency of energy modeling system configurations. The configuration of an energy model entai...

Recent European and German climate targets call for a faster power system transition towards variable renewable energy sources. With the increasing importance of Open Science, several Open Source models have been developed in recent years. However, only a few studies exist that compare their performance against each other. Therefore, this study per...

Usability is considered one of the key factors in determining the success of Open Source Software, but is it sufficiently addressed within the development process as of yet? Thus far, there are no studies on record that explicitly examine the usability of Open Source Software in the field of Energy System Modelling. In this paper, we publish a nove...
Article
Full-text available
The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical optimization model, is used to compute low-carbon scenarios for 17 European countries or regions. The sectors power, low- and high-...

Full-text available
With the energy sector being one of the largest sources of global greenhouse-gas emissions, a swift change in the ways of energy generation and consumption is needed for a fulfilment of climate goals. But while the existence of global warming and the resulting need for action are widely agreed upon, there is a lot of discussion around the concrete...

The European Green Deal has been heralded as the“Europe’s man on the moon moment” as it aims to achieve 100% GHG reductions by 2050. Achieving the decarbonization of the energy system will be driven by a combination of factors and synergies between technological development, policy exertion and societal attitudes. In this paper, we present an origi...
Article
Full-text available
The ambition of the openENTRANCE project is to develop and establish an open, transparent and integrated modelling platform for assessing low-carbon transition pathways of the European energy system. In this context, the open source energy system model GENeSYS-MOD is one of the core models having been developed enabling quantitative scenario pathwa...
Article
Full-text available
The main aim of models has never been to provide numbers, but insights. Still, challenges prevail for modelers to use the best configuration of their models to provide helpful insights. In the case of energy system modelling, this becomes even more complicated due to increasing complexity of the energy system transition through the potential and ne...
Article
Full-text available
In this paper, multiple pathways for the European energy system until 2050 are computed, focusing on one of the major challenges of the low-carbon transition: the issue of unused capacities and stranded assets. Three different scenarios are analyzed, utilizing the Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) for calculations. A major feature is the int...
Chapter
Long-term scenarios of the low-carbon energy transformation in Europe are quite diverse. In this chapter, we provide a detailed discussion of scenarios leading to a far-reaching decarbonization of the European energy system to 2050. We use an updated version of the Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD), developed by our group to study various lo...
Article
Full-text available
This Data Documentation presents the second version of the Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD), an open-source energy system modeling framework. The model endogenously determines cost-optimal investment paths into conventional and renewable energy generation, different storage technologies, and some infrastructure investments in five-year step...

The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Germany and Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO 2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical optimization model, is used to compute low-carbon scenarios for Europe as a whole, as well as for 17 European countrie...
Article
Full-text available
The world needs to continue working to protect the climate—this is generally undisputed. However, there is no agreement on which technologies should be used to decarbonize the energy sector. Many international scenarios still assume a relevant role for nuclear power in the future. However, a study by the German Institute for Economic Research shows...

Die Notwendigkeit weltweiter Anstrengungen für den Klimaschutz ist unbestritten. Jedoch herrscht über die Fragen, mit welchen Technologien der Energiesektor dekarbonisiert werden soll, keine Einigkeit. Während viele internationale Szenarien auch zukünftig von einer relevanten Rolle für die Atomkraft ausgehen, zeigt eine am DIW Berlin durchgeführte...

This paper develops a path for the global energy system up to 2050, presenting a new application of the open-source energy modeling system (OSeMOSYS) to the community. It allows quite disaggregate energy and emission analysis: Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) uses a system of linear equations of the energy system to search for lowest-cost s...

India on the way towards decarbonIzation. India has emerged as a major energy producing and consuming country, and it is also one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. With a doubling of its energy use since the turn of the century, and still a relatively modest per capita energy consumption, India faces significant challen...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Currently, around 86% of the worlds energy supply is based on fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Burning these fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases, leading to climate change and environmental warming. Hence, especially since the Paris agreement (UNFCC 2015), there is a need to take a look at the global energy system and its possible realizations towa...
