Abstract
The modelling of energy systems often has to balance two aspects. High level of detail, e.g. technical constraints on the one hand and analysis of long-term system optimization on the other. When focusing on one of the two aspects, models can be solved in a reasonable time. In order to combine both aspects in one model we use a problem-specific iterative approach. A detailed system model is linked to iterative adjustments of investments. This is based on a subgradient method of optimization. The approach can be described as a detailed dispatch model with adjustments towards an investment model. The results show that the algorithm is quite efficient for a stylized model. For a larger model, performance is not yet sufficient for day-to-day practical use, but several elements for further improvement are identified.
