Abstract: The complex and diffuse nature of the human dimension makes it difficult to identify and integrate into energy modelling. The human dimension concept in energy modelling has resulted in a broad spectrum with different nuances and meanings that have been used interchangeably, which could lead to misperceptions and misunderstandings. This study combines a set of methodologies to reflect aspects of the human dimension in energy modelling systematically. The selected methods include structural analysis, word clouds and co-occurrence networks based on bibliometric information. Recent research efforts have centred on identifying and characterising the factors of the human dimension. As a result, the human dimension in energy modelling is conceptualised by variables that encompass instead of having a comprehensive framework. The more closed concept to the human dimension in energy modelling is development; together with the current state around demand, they can serve as a reference framework or a bridge to integrating variables of the human dimension with the technical and financial aspects of recent energy models.
