What problem it solves
DESSTINEE (Demand for Energy Services, Supply and Transmission in EuropE) is a model of the European energy system in 2050. The model is designed to test assumptions about the technical requirements for energy transport, particularly for electricity, and the scale of the economic challenge to develop the necessary infrastructure. Forty countries are considered in Europe and North Africa and 10 forms of primary and secondary energy.
DEESTINEE consists of three modules: a scenario generator, a demand profile builder and an electricity market simulator. This note relates to the third module.
The supply module simulates the least-cost generation and transmission of electricity around the continent, grouping the countries of Europe into 10 nodes.
Inputs
- Hourly profiles for electricity demand, produced by the DESSTINEE demand modules.
- Hourly profiles of renewable electricity supply, produced by Renewables.ninja.
- Installed infrastructure capacity in each region (electricity generation by type, transmission and storage).
- Efficiency for energy conversion processes, and fuel carbon intensity.
- Fuel, capital and operating costs.
Outputs
- Hourly power generation per technology type and region,
- Hourly transmission between the regions,
- Hourly price for electricity per region.
- Hourly consumption of fuels for electricity production and associated fossil CO2 emissions.
