项目摘要

Project summary: In light of the crucial challenges in decarbonizing the energy system, action is required by actors from the local to the global level. A recent report of the UK government argues in particular with respect to heat decarbonization for the importance of local action and strategies, which align with regional and national policies and planning. This requires coordination to ensure decarbonization strategies, which are often interlinked and dependent on actions on other levels, are aligned and mutually reinforcing. Local authorities might, for example, rely on funding from the central government to implement local plans while national strategies might depend on coordination or enforcement at the local level. Thus, it is vital for authorities to take into account other governmental scales and to develop a common understanding of decarbonization strategies. This thesis is interested in supporting this process by developing a multi-scale heat sector model to explore scenario pathways spanning local to national scale. Scenario pathways are a well established way to shape thinking about the future energy system and inform policy-making. By providing pathways consistent across scales, this work intends to complement local and national models to provide the means to help shape coordination and common thinking on heat decarbonization strategies across scales. At the same time, it intends to shed light on the methodological aspects of multi-scale energy system optimization models, which are adaptable beyond the topical sphere of the thesis. It aims to address following research questions:* How might local characteristics influence varying strategies and pathways for local area heat decarbonization within the national context?* What is the influence of spatially explicit representations of regions and local areas in a national scale energy model on the generation of favorable energy futures?In order to address these research questions, the project establishes and applies an innovative energy modeling approach. It addresses two specific challenges previously identified in current energy models. First, the approach aims to further knowledge on representing different scales in energy models by incorporating different ways of representing subnational areas within a nationwide energy system optimization model. Second, the work is strongly committed to tackle the challenge of transparency and reproducibility in energy modeling, fostering the notion of open science. It is based on an open-source modeling framework and aims to rely on open data to create an accessible and transparent model setup allowing for critical examination and facilitate further use of the work.

项目概要：鉴于能源系统脱碳方面的重大挑战，从地方到全球一级的行为者都需要采取行动。英国政府最近的一份报告特别指出，在热脱碳方面，地方行动和战略的重要性与区域和国家政策和规划保持一致。这需要协调，以确保脱碳战略相互一致和相互加强，这些战略往往相互关联并取决于其他层面的行动。例如，地方当局可能依赖中央政府的资金来实施地方计划，而国家战略可能取决于地方一级的协调或执行。因此，当局必须考虑其他政府规模，并对脱碳战略达成共识。本论文的目的是通过建立一个多尺度的热力部门模型来支持这一过程，以探索从地方到国家尺度的情景路径。情景路径是一种行之有效的方式，可以塑造对未来能源系统的思考，并为决策提供信息。通过提供跨尺度一致的途径，这项工作旨在补充地方和国家模型，以提供帮助形成跨尺度热脱碳战略协调和共同思维的手段。同时，它旨在阐明多尺度能源系统优化模型的方法学方面，这是适应性超出了论文的主题范围。它旨在解决以下研究问题：* 当地特点如何影响不同的战略和途径，在全国范围内的局部地区热脱碳？*在一个国家尺度的能源模型中，区域和局部地区的空间显式表示对产生有利的能源未来有什么影响？为了解决这些研究问题，该项目建立并应用了一种创新的能源建模方法。它解决了先前在当前能源模型中确定的两个具体挑战。首先，该方法的目的是通过在全国能源系统优化模型中采用不同的方式来代表国家以下地区，从而进一步了解能源模型中的不同尺度。其次，这项工作致力于解决能源建模中的透明度和可重复性的挑战，促进开放科学的概念。它基于一个开源建模框架，旨在依靠开放数据创建一个可访问和透明的模型设置，允许进行严格的检查，并促进工作的进一步使用。
