Integrating recurring uncertainties in ETSAP energy system models

The project addressed the following objectives:

• Submit a report with a full description of the use of both the portfolio approach and the operational recourse approach (SPINES).
• Transfer the knowledge to ETSAP members on how to include these approaches in the TIMES models.
• Illustrate the approaches using examples of the electricity sector.
• Compare the portfolio/operational recourse approaches to the deterministic perfect foresight alternative.

The implementation of the process is shown in the example model scenario files available for download below.
