A systemic approach to analyze integrated energy system modeling tools: A review of national models	2020-11-30		.txt	text/plain	12190	665	40	We reviewed the literature focusing on nineteen integrated Energy System Models (ESMs) to: (i) identify the capabilities and shortcomings of current ESMs to analyze adequately the transition towards a low-carbon energy system; (ii) assess the performance of the selected models by means of the derived criteria, and (iii) discuss some potential solutions to address the ESM gaps. First, we identify key criteria for analyzing current ESMs and we describe seven current and future low-carbon energy system modeling challenges: the increasing need for flexibility, further electrification, emergence of new technologies, technological learning and efficiency improvements, decentralization, macroeconomic interactions, and the role of social behavior in the energy system transition. Based on these modeling challenges, we identify the required modeling capabilities, such as the need for hourly temporal resolution, sectoral coupling technologies (i.e., P2X), technological learning, flexibility and storage technologies, human behavior, cross border trade, and linking with market and macroeconomic models.	./cache/cord-311868-40bri19f.txt	./txt/cord-311868-40bri19f.txt
