Collaborative Decision-Making Centres for Sustainable Energy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy Issues and Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

Abstract

When building country-wide electricity sector models the number of variables to consider, as well as careful design to consider sustainable energy issues restrictions, poses a considerable technological execution and visualisation challenge, even more so when such models must be executed in real-time to support evidence-based decision-making process in the form of configurable scenarios. This chapter presents methodological and technological tools designed for a Collaborative Decision-Making Centre (CDMC), a facility that aims to support a group of decision-makers with real-time computed indicators for such scenarios, allowing the group to find the best alternative for problems in the field of management of energy sustainability.
