This paper expands the outlook on future energy systems as it is presented in other contributions to this Special Issue in two ways. First, we put the medium-term scenarios developed by the TEEM Project into the context of longer-term studies. We do this by discussing the plausibility of...

This article provides a tutorial on how to implement technology dynamics in global optimisation energy models that are widely used for energy systems analysis. The tutorial draws from a series of modelling experiments conducted by several research groups cooperating in the framework of European...
