JRC-EU-TIMES: key characteristics

  • Model horizon: 2005-2050 (2075)
  • 70 exogenous demands for energy services

across 5 demand sectors (agriculture, residential, commercial, industry, and transport)

  • Economic drivers taken from latest EU Energy

Reference Scenario (since 2014)

  • Explicit representation of country-to-country electricity and gas flows, incl.

import / exports with non-European regions

  • Electricity multi-grid model (high, medium and low voltage grid), tracking

demand-supply via 12 time slices (4 seasons, 3 diurnal periods), and gas across 4 seasons

  • Country specific differences for characterisation of the conversion and end-

use technologies

  • Renewable potentials (onshore wind, offshore wind, geothermal, biomass,

biogas, hydro)

1.Force possible excess electricity from PV, wind and wave to be used by flexible demand, curtailed, stored or converted into another carrier [Gwhe] 2.Ensure sufficient storage charging capacity [Gwe]

To ensure that the model invests not only in sufficient storage capacity in energy terms, but also in sufficient storage capacity in power terms

  • Test representing every single hour as well as limited number
  • f representative days
  • Test stochastic modelling of intermittent renewables with two

stages: investment decisions (1) and operational decisions (2)

  • Prepare soft linking with DISPASET

Addressing flexibility issues in the power sector

Fully-fledged power sector model with high time resolution

  • Ideally the representation of the power sector in JRC-EU-TIMES includes all

the technical constraints within the relevant time frames.

JRC-EU-TIMES Power sector module

  • In practice the previous approach results in a too-complex (due to

sheer size) model.

  • Interplay between long- and short-term dynamics are taken into

account by coupling JRC-EU-TIMES to a detailed unit commitment model, while preserving some relevant constraints (work in progress).

Detailed unit commitment model JRC-EU-TIMES "Simplified" power sector module Embedded

Economic and demographic drivers Energy supply and demand Long-term capacity planning Short-term power sector constraints Renewable sources availability Storage Hourly demand profiles Overall boundary conditions Operational constraints or constraints on capacity expansion patterns

We are developing a state of the art unit commitment model

DISPASET 2.0 Unit Commitment and dispatch Model

  • Formulated as tight and compact MIP
  • Minimise total system costs over a daily horizon, across units,

markets and periods of fixed, variable (fuel and emissions), start-up, shut-down, transmission costs, and load shedding)

  • Hourly demand balances (day ahead, and up and down reserves)
  • Bounds on power output (minimum stable generation, previous

status, installed capacity and availability factors)

  • Ramping constraints
  • Minimum up and down times
  • Storage-related constraints (bounds on stored levels, pumping,

discharge, inter-period storage balances)

  • NTC based market coupling
  • Options for emission limits, curtailment of intermittent generation and

load shedding

  • Forthcoming JRC technical report

Ongoing work on data

  • Basic plant data (to be based mainly on Platts)
  • Capacity,
  • Location,
  • Fuel and technology,
  • Others (e.g. ownership) currently not relevant
  • Additional data
  • Fuel costs  IEA, TSOs, commodity exchanges, data providers
  • Plant operational parameters  VGB Powertech, VDE, literature, …
  • Plant (un)availability  VGB KISSY (reports)
  • Network data
  • RES data
