Mathematical Constraints Representation for Bottom-Up Approaches to Climate Policy Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

For analyzing the effect of GHG abatement policies, bottom-up models including MARKAL, MESSAGE, AIM etc. are widely used. These models are normally based on LP(linear programming) optimization, and are trying to find both the minimal cost combination of technologies and energy flows while satisfying the demands. This study investigates representative constraints needed for analysing GHG abatement policies, proposes how to implement these constraints in bottom-up modeling.
