WP3 – “Multiple energy grids planning tool”: D3.2 – Documentation on the development of the assessment framework

This report documents the MUSE GRIDS Energy Planning tool developed in the MUSE GRIDS project. The process has been a two-stage process split into two work package tasks where Task 3.3 has focused on establishing the MUSE GRIDS Planning specifications based on surveys with MUSE GRIDS demo site partners and Task 3.4 has focused on the actual development of the MUSE GRIDS Energy Planning Tool. The work also links up to Tasks 3.1 and Task 3.2 where mapping of demands and supply options is addressed with a view to providing inputs for the MUSE GRIDS Energy Planning Tool.

The work process is mirrored in this deliverable, which is split into two parts:

Part 1: Assessment framework design characteristics

Part 2: MUSE GRIDS Energy planning tool user guide

The first part establishes the design characteristics and the second part details the model with a focus on user needs, thus it is designed as a reference guide
