In two steps, the conversion models in the IMAGE Energy model simulate the choices made between input energy carriers. In the first step, at the level of newly added capital, investment decisions are made on the future generation mix. In the second step, the actual operationuse of the capacity in place depends on a set of model rules that determine how often the different types of power plants are used. and for what purpose (baseload/peakload). The discussion here concentrates on the production of electricity and hydrogen. Other conversion processes are relatively simple, as they mostly convert energy from a single primary source to one secondary energy carrier; these are therefore discussed in the [[Energy supply|primary energy (sub)model]]. | In two steps, the conversion models in the IMAGE Energy model simulate the choices made between input energy carriers.
