Integrating policy instruments into the TIMES Model

The aim of this project was to lay the methodological groundwork for the integration of different types of policy instruments into the energy system model TIMES.

  • Theoretical background on the modelling of policy instruments in energy system models
  • The explicit modelling of support systems for renewable electricity in TIMES
  • The representation of emission trading schemes in national energy system models
  • The Modelling of regulatory instruments and financial incentive measures in the buildings sector
  • Application: Scenario analysis with the TIMES-D model
  • Best Practice Examples
