text description: 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).
