Title: EFOM 12-C case studies candidate technologies to relieve the European energy system. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5039232

The aim of the case study conducted with the linear optimisation model EFOM 12C is to test the potential development and penetration into the energy system of some new energy technologies. A ranking of these technologies likely to be developed in Denmark was obtained with the help of the RANGE procedure, where the parameter 'unit cost' was used. 'Unit cost' is the change in value of the objective function per unit of variation in activity. The result of the ranking was that biomass technologies are the most economical, followed by heat pumps and wind turbines; at the bottom of the list was solar energy.
