SecMOD is a model for exploring and analysing decarbonisation strategies of sector-coupled energy systems.
Features
- Optimisation of transition pathways
- Integrated time series aggregation
- Consideration of life-cycle assessment in optimization and evaluation
- Sector-coupling and power-to-X strategies
- CCU and CCS
- Flexible spatial & temporal resolution
- Flexible extension with new sectors & technologies
- SecMOD models for the energy transitions in Germany, Switzerland, and Europe (in progress)
