Exploring trade-offs: A decision-support tool for local energy system planning

Naud Loomans and Floor Alkemade

Applied Energy, 2024, vol. 369, issue C, No S0306261924009103

Abstract: Policymakers are in a balancing act when creating local energy transition strategies. Embedding new technologies in an existing energy system is highly complex. Policymakers must deal with multi-system interactions such as sector coupling, multi-scale effects such as bottom-up behavior and top-down policies, and requirements from local spatial planning, grid constraints, and resource availability.
