Energy Systems Modeling (ESM) Initiative
CETLab’s Energy Systems Modeling (ESM) Initiative brings together researchers and practitioners to develop and apply cutting-edge, open-source tools for analyzing the future of power systems. The initiative focuses on modeling electricity generation, transmission, and demand under rapid decarbonization, technology change, and policy scenarios.
By building transparent, open-source and flexible models, the ESM Initiative supports decision-making on issues such as renewable integration, grid reliability, and the design of low-carbon electricity markets. The initiative aims to provide rigorous, policy-relevant insights that help guide the transition to a sustainable and resilient energy system.
CETLab
The Clean Energy Transformation Lab — CETlab (pronounced “set-lab”) — aims to transform how we generate, distribute, and use energy in ways that are cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and socially equitable. The CETlab focuses on low carbon and just transitions in energy systems by applying energy systems modeling, empirical analyses, and social science research methods.
