1. How does uncertainty in technology-specific characteristics (e.g., capital cost of solar PV) affect outcomes of interest (e.g., fuel prices, fossil fuel consumption, air emissions)? 2. Which technologies and fuels appear to be robust options given uncertainty in future climate policy and rates of technology learning? 3. How much flexibility exists in energy system design and at what cost?

The model objective is to minimize the present cost of energy supply by deploying and utilizing energy technologies and commodities over time to meet a set of exogenously specified end-use demands.
Tools for Energy Model Optimization and Analysis (Temoa) is an open source framework used to conduct analysis with a bottom-up, technology rich energy system model.
