The EOLES family of models optimizes the investment and operation of an energy system
in order to minimize the total cost while satisfying energy demand. EOLES_elec is the
electricity version of this family of models. It minimizes the annualized power generation
and storage costs, including the cost of connection to the grid. It includes eight power
generation technologies: offshore and onshore wind power, solar photovoltaics (PV), runof-river and lake-generated hydro-electricity, nuclear power (EPR, i.e. third generation
European pressurized water reactors), open-cycle gas turbines and combined-cycle gas
turbines equipped with post-combustion carbon capture and storage. The latter two
generation technologies burn methane which can come from three sources: fossil natural
gas, biogas from anaerobic digestion and renewable gas from power-to-gas technology
(methanation). EOLES_elec also includes four energy storage technologies: pumped hydro storage (PHS), Li-Ion batteries and two types of methanation (with and without CCS).
