Why energy systems modeling ? • Real-world problems are very complex. To tackle this • a model • - simplifies the real world into a comprehensive form • - filters the ”noise”, i.e. ”what happens if … given that…” • Increases the understanding of the system-in-focus and improves decision-making Models are also used for direct forecasting (e.g. electricity-price forecasting) Models may act as an objective platform for communication to the participants involved

Modeling process of the NEP project • Simple comparison of model results from previous studies • (no syncronization) presented in Stockholm • Simple comparison of model results with syncronized input • presented in Köpenhamn • 3 Modeling of NEP-specific issues (syncronized input)
Syncronized • Fuel costs (fossil fuels and biomass) • EUR/MWh 2010 2020 • Gas 17 19 • HFO 22 24 • Coal 5,9 6,0 • Biomass (upper) 19 19 • Swedish ”nuclear phase-out” • Discount rate (7%) • CO2-permit prices 10, 20 and 50 EUR/t • Not syncronized • Technology costs (investments, O&M) and performance • ”Model mathematics” (object. funct, dynamics etc.) • Demand • Potentials • etc

Perspectives Different models, unsynchronized input, give different simulation results: • An opportunity to enhance understanding of what is important with respect to • model functionality • data • To the extent that the models reflect aspects of reality also an opportunity to learn about reality and influence it: • which types of instruments could be applied • how much, when, where, …
