Technologies

Creating a LES from a scaled scenario in the Energy Transition Model couples the technologies in that scenario to the chosen network topology. All technologies are taken into account in ETMoses, but not all are modelled explicitly. ETMoses models the following technologies explicitly:

• Electrical technologies
  • Electric car
  • Heat pump for hot water (air)
  • Heat pump for hot water (ground)
  • Heat pump for space heating (air)
  • Heat pump for space heating (ground)
  • Neighbourhood battery
  • Residential PV
  • Other
• Gas technologies
  • Households space heater combined network gas
  • Households space heater micro chp gas
  • Households space heater network gas
  • Households water heater combined network gas
  • Households water heater fuel cell chp gas
  • Households water heater micro chp gas
  • Households water heater network gas
• Hybrid technologies (electricity and gas)
  • Hybrid heat pump hot water
  • Hybrid heat pump space heater
• Flexibility technologies
  • Battery
  • Power-to-gas
  • Power-to-heat
• Buffers
  • Buffer space heating
  • Buffer hot water

All other electrical technologies (like lighting, appliances, etc.) are aggregated in base load profiles for which you can select one the following three (see Base loads for more details:

• Household (i.e. modelled profiles for a single household)
• Household aggregated (i.e. EDSN profile which will be used when at least 30 households are connected to an end-point)
• Buildings (i.e. EDSN profile for buildings)

The subsections in this part of the Wiki describe the technologies in more detail.
