Introduction to the
Proceedings
For the first time since April
1994 the Operating Agent hosted the ETSAP Workshop, following an
established tradition to return once every few years to the home base of
the ETSAP organization. In line with the priorities set at the previous
meeting, much attention was given to reviewing the progress and discussion
of further plans regarding the development of a next generation of ETSAP
tools. A smaller group met on November 1st and 2nd to prepare for the full
scale meetings on 3-4 November.
The biggest achievement in this
area is no doubt that the new model TIMES, proceeding on schedule, is
currently subjected to first validation tests. Anticipating the outcome of
this process, options to develop an interface for use of TIMES by expert
users from the main existing shell systems MESAP and ANSWER are actively
explored. More detailed plans were discussed and agreed that aim to ensure
that by the end of Annex VII, so by end 2001, a thoroughly tested TIMES
model operating under one or more operational expert interfaces for data
and scenario management can be released.
Other reports given at the
workshop confirmed progress with development of global models, supported
by ETSAP as part of its Common Program of Work. Relevant international
initiated by the IEA and other organizations were presented, including the
new collaborative activity of the IEA on experience curves for energy
technology policy EXCETP. Experience gained by several ETSAP participants,
utilizing the new MARKAL feature to represent endogenous technology
learning can contribute to this work. Finally a suite of recent model
studies were presented, ranging from local, regional and sectoral analyses
to multi-national cooperative strategies and a comprehensive biomass study
for the EU. Once more these examples confirm the wide array of areas in
which the ETSAP tools are employed today.
As usual the Executive
Committee meeting was scheduled immediately after the regular ETSAP
Workshop on Friday, 5 November.
