Energy system models based on experience curves are superior to conventional models in their treatment of the dynamics of technological development. However, assuming perfect foresight means that future learning rates are known with certainty, which is not realistic. An optimising model for the...

There exists considerable evidence that manufacturing costs and consumer prices of residential appliances have decreased in real terms over the last several decades. This phenomenon is generally attributable to manufacturing efficiency gained with cumulative experience producing a certain good,...

A global and local learning model (GALLM) has been developed to project the cost and global uptake of different electricity generation technologies to the year 2050. This model features three regions, endogenous technological learning within and across those regions, various government policies...
