Energy-Environment Modeling Meeting of the Illinois Climate Change Advisory Group 300 West Adams St., 2nd Floor, Chicago, IL February 22, 2007 Governor Rod R. Blagojevich Climate Change Advisory Group
Why model? • Examine different policy scenarios, including sensitivities • Examine the cost of policy packages • Assess interplay between policy options
What gets modeled? Power - dispatch - electricity prices - new builds GSP Employment Energy Prices • Transport • - VMT • mode switching New Policies Energy Demand • Industry • Commercial • Residential Agriculture • - production • efficiency Emissions - reductions - cost of reductions
Need to model policies that can reduce these emissions Some modeling already done Illinois GHG Emission Trends with Energy Plan Reductions 1990-2020 Energy Plan emissions reductions from BAU
Examples of models: • Multi-sector • Energy 2020 • Markal • National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) • Power sector only • IPM • Haiku (Resources for the Future) • Regional dispatch models • Transport sector only • UC Davis • Economic Impacts • REMI • state-level input-output models
Key model attributes to consider: • Analytic capabilities • Energy prices, demand, efficiency • Policy design variables • Multi-regional interactions • Inter-sectoral dynamics • Emissions benefits • Economic • Time horizon and solution intervals • Operation • Licensing • Customization tasks • Lead time to develop • Running the model • Cost • Sensitivity analyses
