Assessment of the impacts under future climate change on the energy systems with the POLES model

Abstract

This paper presents the way we try to explore the most important impacts of climate change on the energy systems with the POLES model. We present the main features and adaptations of the POLES model with details on the treatment of the electricity demand in the residential and service sector, of the hydro and thermal electricity generation and energy demand for water supply while using climate drivers coming from other models. Comparisons of the results of the Reference projection with and without the taking into account of the effects of climate change on energy systems for the World and for Europe (EU27) up to 2100 are displayed in the paper.POLES MODEL ; CLIMATE CHANGE ; SCENARIO ; ENERGY SYSTEM ; ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION
