3 JRC Institute for Energy and Transport Ispra, Italy Petten, The Netherlands The mission of the Joint Research Centre Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) is to provide support to Community policies and technology innovation related both: energy - to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution and use and transport -to foster sustainable and efficient mobility in Europe

4 Key scientific activities Renewable energy Sustainable & safe nuclear energy Energy Security, System and Markets Energy technologies modelling and assessment Alternative fuels Hydrogen and fuel cells Sustainable transport Energy efficiency

5 IET modelling landscape Energy service demand Primary energy potentials and import prices Renewable potentials Technology data Policies Industry models Energy System Model (TIMES) E-mobility model Detailed energy technology models Optimal technology mix over time (supply & demand side) Total system costs (investment + variable) Final energy demand Emissions Energy prices Dispatching Grid models Trans-mission grid bottlenecks RES power curtailment Grid expansion needs Security of supply indicators

6 JRC-EU-TIMES key characteristics Model horizon is (2075) 70 exogenous demands for energy services across 5 demand sectors (agriculture, residential, commercial, industry, and transport) Economic drivers from general equilibrium model GEM-E3 with demand elasticities used for different drivers Supply sector description (fuel mining, primary and secondary production, import and export) Explicit representation of country-to-country energy flows, incl. endogenous electricity and gas trade, and import / exports with non-european regions Electricity multi-grid model (high, medium and low voltage grid), tracking demandsupply 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 potential (onshore wind, offshore wind, geothermal, biomass, biogas, hydro) 6

9 Energy Technology Policy Outlook Assess the impact of energy technology innovation on the transition to a low carbon society, for informed decisions in support of the energy, transport, research and innovation policies of the European Union. Key activities Technology assessment (techno-socio-economics) Reference technology databases Modelling of technologies, sectors and the energy system Management and operation of the Commission s Strategic Energy Technologies Information System (SETIS) Themes: Low-carbon technologies (CCS, wind, marine, geothermal, nuclear fission, energy storage), heavy industry, e- mobility, critical materials, innovation capacities.
