11 Global Climate Assessment Model (GCAM) I An integrated assessment model developed at The Joint Global Change Research Institute in Maryland. Dynamic recursive partial equilibrium model. Comprises an economic module, an energy system module, an agricultural and land use module and a climate effects module. Essentially models interlinked regional markets and finds an equilibrium solution by adjusting prices. World is modeled as 14 regions and annual demand and supply of energy available in 5 year time steps. Horizon is until Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 6 / 50

24 We were picturing the following interaction between our models GCAM WE EE FSU Investment model EMPS (Econ. Dispatch) Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 14 / 50

25 Power system investment model Modeling assumptions Investments are continuous Lines are independent (i.e. no Kirchoff s laws) Independent operational scenarios (e.g. no ramping, simplified storage) Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 15 / 50

26 Structure of investment model The investment model is a fairly standard two-stage stochastic model where Investments in generation capacity and transmission capacity are done in the first stage Uncertainty in availability of intermittent resources and in load are then revealed Second stage decisions, which are production levels, network flows and unserved energy, are then made given the investments. Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 16 / 50

27 Formulation of the investment model The basic formulation of the two-stage stochastic model is: Minimize investment cost and expected operation costs Subject to: Investment bounds (don t let the model go wild) Max/min capacity requirements on generation within GCAM regions Load constraints Flow constraints (basically just upper/lower bounds on lines) Production constraints Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 17 / 50

72 Conclusion This approach provides additional information about effects of a climate policy on a regional power system The results can now be used to adjust GCAM scenarios Can be useful for policymakers on a national level The results indicate that an optimal expansion involves high investments in transmission to support balancing of supply and demand. Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 47 / 50

73 Further comments on operational modeling Hydro power Including enough time steps to cover a full planning cycle for a big reservoir quickly makes the operational problem prohibitively large. One possible way to circumvent this is to construct scenarios for water values, that is, the alternative cost of the water in a reservoir. Water values can be used to represent different seasons in a year, but also different hydrological situations (dry year, wet year, normal year, etc) The plan is to use a specialized hydro power production model for making the water value scenarios. Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 48 / 50

74 Possible future extensions of the model A network flow model Integer values in the investment stage Relaxing the constraint that the energy mix computed by capacity expansion model should match GCAM. The GCAM results can be used to generate scenarios for climate policy uncertainty. Develop a multi-stage model with strategic uncertainty. Tomasgard & Skar (NTNU) The LinkS project 49 / 50
