MOIn Carnot

The MOIn Carnot project aims at developing a new, inverted approach for energy system modelling that considers both the common central-planning perspective of optimal system design and the technical design perspective of technology development. By turning model input parameters such as technology cost or efficiencies into decision variables, these can be used as additional optimisation objectives. A multi-objective optimisation then enables trade-off analyses between overall system cost and requirements for technology development, for example in the form of least requirements that would still lead to utilisation of a technology in an overall cost-efficient system. The inverted method is developed using the modelling framework Backbone and Carnot Batteries as a location-independent energy storage technology with low Technology-Readiness-Level (TRL).
