REWARDS

The REWARDS project is concerned with the development of the European energy system, taking into account scenarios with a low probability of occurrence but a major impact on energy security, such as major natural disasters or a sudden interruption of important supply chains. These scenarios will first be quantified and then implemented in the stochastic energy system model EMPRISE in order to estimate the impact of the scenarios on a future European energy system.
The Chair of Energy Systems and Energy Economics is particularly concerned with the quantification of the high impact/low probability scenarios, taking into account both natural and social/political risks.
This involves working with climate projections as well as analyzing past events. Furthermore, multi-criteria evaluation metrics are being developed at RUB in order to map and compare the various dimensions of costs, environmental impacts and energy security.
