Realizations

(A) complex

Transport demand composition is calculated for LDV categories, electric trains and an aggregate category HDV. The CES transport branch has 3 nodes (LDV, HDV and electric trains). LDVs are in turn divided into ICE cars, BEVs, FCEVs. The CES branch is in useful energy units (EJ). A correction for the different efficiency of LDV powertrains is therefore included. HDVs include both passenger and freight modes. Vehicles capacity addition for LDVs is calculated in REMIND.

p35_passLDV_ES_efficiency(ttot,all_regi)      "LDV passenger energy service per non-LDV FE. Only correct if applied to CES-input, as BEV and H2FCV have higher efficiencies. Unit: bn pkm/EJ"
p35_freight_ES_efficiency(ttot,all_regi)      "Freight energy service per freight FE. Unit: bn tkm/EJ"
p35_pass_FE_target_share    "The target share for the harmonization of non-LDV passenger FE (p35_pass_FE_share_transp). Unit: share [0..1]"
p35_harmonizing_year        "Year when full harmonization of shares and efficiencies would be reached."
p35_share_seliq_t(ttot,all_regi)                               "share of liquids used for transport sector (fedie + fepet). Unit 0..1"

;

\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{fe2ue(entyFe,"uepet",te2)\$LDV35(te2)} vm\_prodUe(t,regi,entyFe,"uepet",te2) \cdot \frac{ vm\_shUePeT(t,regi,te) }{ 100 } = \sum_{fe2ue(entyFe,"uepet",te)} vm\_prodUe(t,regi,entyFe,"uepet",te) \end{multline*}\]

\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{fe2ue(entyFe,"uepet",te)\$LDV35(te)} vm\_shUePeT(t,regi,te) = 100 \end{multline*}\]

Limitations Not very flexible implementation of new transport alternatives

(B) edge_esm

Transport demand composition is calculated based on the EDGE-transport model. This realization allows the EDGE-transport model to interact with REMIND. EDGE is set to run in between iterations. EDGE runs every 5 iterations, to allow REMIND to stabilize in between. Transport structure is defined in detail in EDGE, and only aggregate values are then fed to REMIND. The CES transport branch has 2 nodes (passenger and freight transport) each divided into Short-Medium distance and Long distance options. The CES branch is in energy services units (passenger or ton km). Bunkers (Shipping and Internaitional Aviation) represent the Long distance CES leaves. Vehicles capacity addition is calculated in EDGE (REMIND has no vintage tracking).

Limitations EDGE-transport runs in between iterations and is therefore not fully optimized.
