plan4res D3.1: Description of model interconnections

The goal of plan4res is to develop a modeling framework that allows to obtain a holistic assessment of the energy system. Having such an ambitious goal, it is required to divide the energy system in models that cover the dierent aspects of the energy system. This modular framework allows to make use of the most promising solving techniques and the most efficient optimization solvers, each tailored towards the needs of every single submodel.
In order to guarantee a flawless work ow, it is vital to have a detailled description of the interconnections between these models. The goal of this deliverable is to give an overview of the plan4res modeling framework and describe these model interconnections.
The plan4res model framework is divided into
Expansion models
Valuation/operation models
Supplemental models
