It will include models describing the investment and operation decisions for a wide variety of technologies related to electricity and non-electricity energy sectors across generation, consumption, transmission and distribution. The modularity of the framework allows for detailed modelling of major areas of energy systems that can help stakeholders from different backgrounds to focus on specific topics related to the energy landscape in Europe and to receive relevant outputs and insights tailored to their needs. The current paper presents a qualitative description of key concepts and methods of the novel modular optimization framework and provides insights into the corresponding energy landscape.}, language = {en} }
