|Description=Energy from primary sources often has to be converted into secondary energy carriers that are more easily accessible for final consumption, for example the production of electricity and hydrogen, oil products from crude oil in refineries, and fuels from biomass. Studies on transitions to more sustainable energy systems also show the importance of these conversions for the future.

The energy conversion module of TIMER simulates the choices of input energy carriers in two steps. In the first step, investment decisions are made on the future generation mix in terms of newly added capital. In the second step, the actual use of the capacity in place depends on a set of model rules that determine how frequently the different types of power plants are used. The discussion focuses on the production of electricity and hydrogen. Other conversion processes have only been implemented in the model by simple multipliers, as they mostly convert energy from a single primary source to one secondary energy carrier. These processes are discussed in [[Energy supply]].

For each package you can choose either a 64bit or a 32bit version depending on your type of computer system. The 64-bit version is preferable to the 32-bit version.

Download

USS_IMAGE3.0 is available in zip format (only 64bit version). Extract the zip to a suitable location (writable) on your system.

USS3.0 for SSP2 scenarios

USS_IMAGE2.2 is available in zip format (client) containing the folders with the files or wrapped in a (zipped) installation.exe (setup). USS2.4-5 is only available as zipped client. Both lead to an identical setup. Extract the zip to a suitable location (writable) on your system. In case of setup run the executable.

USS2.2 for Millennium Assessment (MA) and IPCC SRES.

USS2.4-2.5 for OECD Environmental Outlook, Roads from Rio+20 and EU Resource efficiency.
