Danish participation in IEA-ETSAP, Annex XIII, 2014-2016

The project will continue the Danish participation in the IEA Implementing Agreement ETSAP (Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme), Annexes X to XII under the new Annex XIII "Tools for Analysis of a Future Energy Revolution (TAFER): Methodologies, Tools and Data Bases". The main activities are semi-annual workshops focusing on model analyses, and use of the ETSAP modelling tools and technology data (the MARKAL/TIMES family of models), participation in training sessions on ETSAP tools, and participation in collaborative projects using and improving the ETSAP tools. Denmark has been appointed to host the ETSAP workshop in the Autumn 2014. Contributions to the workshops are based on past, present and future collaborative projects, in particular within the EU, Nordic and Danish research programmes. New collaboration opportunities with Chinese partners will be explored. Dissemination of results of ETSAP activities will be made through participation in workshops arranged within the Danish modelling community and as Pre-Conference meetings before ETSAP meetings.
