Anticipation

The energy mix discipline acts at the top of energy models, with the goal to aggregate the information arriving from each energy, calculate the net production and the CO2 emissions per kwh of energy.

These information are then send back to technologies to compute technology production and prices.

In the basic WITNESS framework, investments in energy are optimally split among available production technologies to maximize energy production while minimizing CO2 emission under constraints WITNESS Energy.png
