Modelling the future electricity system

What will our electricity supply look like in the future? In co-operation with partners from industry, researchers at ETH Zurich are developing models to predict the technical and economic impact of all conceivable scenarios.  

Modelling and analysing energy systems is becoming increasingly challenging due to the growing need of representing the complexity of the system as whole instead of merely considering its separate components. This implies capturing the interdependencies among various energy sectors and harmonizing different research viewpoints. To address these challenges, ETH Zürich and the Energy Science Center (ESC) propose a modelling framework - the Nexus-​e platform - that has the capability to create synergies between existing models and extend current energy system modelling paradigms.
