National Grid adopts 果冻影院's UKTIMES model

28 February 2018

To assist with decarbonisation analysis and set out 2050 pathways, the National Grid has started using the UK Times model, developed by researchers in the 果冻影院 Energy Institute.

UKTM

罢丑别听聽(UKTM) was developed by 果冻影院 Energy Institute鈥檚聽 and UK Energy Research Centre teams, in partnership with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). UK TIMES is a bottom-up, technology-rich, cost optimisation model of the UK energy system.

Covering a multitude of areas, from households and social habits to electricity generation and transmission, UK TIMES helps identify energy system transitions that meet energy demands across the UK economy with the lowest discounted cost, subject to constraints such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets.

UK TIMES has become a widely recognised model, with a user group including BEIS, the Scottish Government, the Committee on Climate Change and the National Infrastructure Commission.

Neil Rowley, Gas Modelling Manager in the National Grid鈥檚 Energy Insights Team, said,

Using UKTM allows National Grid to be part of a wider UK energy community all using the same platform.鈥

Paul Dodds, Senior Lecturer at 果冻影院, commented,

UK TIMES has helped a range of stakeholders to understand how we can meet our long-term decarbonisation targets. I鈥檓 very pleased to welcome National Grid to the UK TIMES modelling community.鈥
