The research programme Energy Systems Analysis (ESY), which prior to the merger with DTU had been part of the Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, has a strong record on developing methods and models for the analysis of energy, environmental and economic issues, including policy analysis and the adaptation of new technologies to complex energy systems. The Programme employs a multi-disciplinary team of about 15 scientists with four focus areas: 1) Macro-economics, econometrics, and forecast models, 2) system modelling, optimization, and simulation, 3) micro-economics, regulation, and policy analysis, and 4) evaluation and integration of new energy technologies. The team has undertaken a number of EU, national and regional projects in regards to renewable energies in energy systems modelling and policy analysis of the electricity sector and also in the heating, transport and waste sectors. The team has an excellent network in the Nordic countries from previous and on-going cooperation with a number of universities, businesses and public authorities. DTU will lead WP 5 on “Environment, Health and Resources” and contribute their expertise on integrated modelling approaches, especially between energy and climate models.
