Energy systems analysis technology collaboration programme
The IEA ETSAP community leads a major initiative for open source solutions for energy scenario modeling needs.
The Energy Technology Systems Analysis Program (ETSAP) promotes and supports the application of technical economic tools at the global, national and local levels, with focus on the development of the TIMES integrated energy system modelling platform. It aims at preparing sustainable strategies for economic development, energy security, climate change mitigation and environment. The Contracting Parties conduct joint research and employ the ETSAP Tools to advise their national governments at the highest levels.
Prof Brian Ó Gallachóir (UCC) is the Chair of the ETSAP TCP Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee representative for Ireland. Dr Pádraig Daly is the Alternative Executive Committee representative for Ireland.
