Unit
Joint Research Centre - Institute for Energy and Transport
The mission of the Joint Research Centre – Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) is to
provide support to Community policies and technology innovation related both:
• energy - to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution
and use and
• transport -to foster sustainable and efficient mobility in Europe

• Optimal technology mix over time (supply & demand side)
• Total system costs (investment + variable)
• Final energy demand
• Emissions
• Energy prices
• Trans-mission grid bottle-necks
• RES power curtailment
• Grid expansion needs
• Security of supply indicators
IET modelling landscape
JRC-EU-TIMES key characteristics
• Model horizon is 2005-2050 (2075)
• 70 exogenous demands for energy services across 5 demand sectors (agriculture, residential, commercial, industry, and transport)
• Economic drivers from general equilibrium model GEM-E3 – with demand elasticities used for different drivers
• Supply sector description (fuel mining, primary and secondary production, import and export)
• Explicit representation of country-to-country energy flows, incl. endogenous electricity and gas trade, and import / exports with non-European regions
• Electricity multi-grid model (high, medium and low voltage grid), tracking demand-supply via 12 time slices (4 seasons, 3 diurnal periods), and gas across 4 seasons
• Country specific differences for characterisation of the conversion and end-use technologies
