Energy System Models

Optimisation models such as PERSEUS and Etramod illustrate the potential development of the European power plant stock and enable long-term perspectives. Elmod simulates the deployment of power plants in combination with the use of renewable energies. Combined with our demand-side models FORECAST and eLOAD, we can simulate the European energy system in a holistic way.

We develop electricity price scenarios, calculate CO2 emissions and evaluate the competitiveness of technologies. Here, we work closely with Energy Systems Analysis Associates – ESA2 GmbH and its renowned partners KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Fraunhofer ISI and TU Dresden.

Projects

Potential and feasibility study for heat supply in Aesch

The municipality of Aesch (BL) is developing a climate-friendly, economical and secure heat supply for households and businesses. The aim of the municipality is to achieve the national climate targets (net zero by 2050) and build a sustainable energy infrastructure. As part of the feasibility study, renewable energy sources for heating and hot water, including geothermal energy, local and district heating solutions and air-to-water heat pumps, were analysed. TEP Energy analysed their economic viability and possible implementation in various sub-areas. The study was carried out in collaboration with eicher+pauli, the municipality of Aesch and the Basel-Landschaft Office for Environmental Protection and Energy and forms the basis for the municipality's heat planning.

SURE - SUstainable and REsilient energy for Switzerland

Sweet - SURE analyses the impact of disruptive events on the Swiss energy system. TEP Energy is working on energy demand topics such as the development of demand for energy sources in Switzerland, the impact of shocks on the demand load and the potential use of large heat pumps.
