This chapter provides an overview of the use of bottom-up energy system models to evaluate the long-term effects of energy and climate policy instruments. The major benefits of this type of model for policy evaluation are the inclusion of all interactions within the energy system as well as the high level of technological detail. Progress, on the other hand, needs to be made in terms of the representation of the decision-making behavior of different economic agents and the inclusion of macroeconomic feedbacks. Flexible, endogenous modelling approaches for two important instrument categories are then outlined and applied to a case study on the German energy system: emissions trading systems and different support systems for renewable electricity. This scenario analysis shows how the explicit modelling of policy instruments in energy system models can provide quantitative policy insights, e.g. to analyze the interaction between different types of instruments or to compare alternative policy mechanisms which can be applied for the same political target. |
