Decarbonization Pathways of Worldwide Energy Systems -- Definition and
Modeling of Archetypes
Abstract
This paper includes an approach to summarize energy systems of countries
worldwide in energy system archetypes. These archetypes are generated by
a clustering algorithm and modeled in an energy system optimization
model by standardized rules. The results show that archetypes provide an
opportunity to compare decarbonization pathways of different countries
on a global level. Furthermore, they can be used to simplify data
collection and elaborate the potential of new technologies in different
energy systems.
