Model comparison based on scope and methods
This page makes it possible to create a comparison between (a selection of) models and reference card features. The features are ordered by reference card group. You can create a model selection first. This selection will be passed to the 'group features' queries. When you activate a 'group features' button, a new tab will be opened containing the 'run query form' with all features of the reference card group.
Model exploration
After clicking the [+] toggle below a table appears displaying the IAMC models with their scope and methods. You can filter the models based on one or more of the characteristics. This way you can explore the IAMC model set and use this information to inspect IAMC models further by selecting a set of models and comparing their features.
Expand [+}/collapse [-} the scope and method table with filter options to explore the differences.
Note: The 'other' option represents values deviating from the standard options for a feature.

PRIMES | Partial equilibrium (price elastic demand)The PRIMES model comprises several sub-models (modules), each one representing the behaviour of a specific (or representative) agent, a demander and/or a supplier of energy. The sub-models link with each other through a model integration algorithm, which determines equilibrium prices in multiple markets and equilibrium volumes meets balancing and overall (e.g. emission) constraints. | Mathematically PRIMES solves an EPEC problem (equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints) which allows prices to be explicitly determined. | Energy system model | Regional | Intertemporal optimization (foresight) | in preparation |
