|Description=[[TIMER model]] includes two main energy conversion modules: Electric power generation and hydrogen generation. Below, electric power generation is described in detail. In addition, the key characteristics of the hydrogen generation model, which follows a similar structure, are presented.
==Electric power generation==
As shown in the flowchart, two key elements of the electric power generation are the investment strategy and the operational strategy in the sector. A challenge in simulating electricity production in an aggregated model is that in reality electricity production depends on a range of complex factors, related to costs, reliance, and the time required to switch on technologies. Modelling these factors requires a high level of detail and thus IAMs such as TIMER concentrate on introducing a set of simplified, meta relationships ([[Hoogwijk, 2004]]; [[Van Vuuren, 2007]]).

|Description=The [[TIMER model]] includes two energy conversion submodels: the electric power generation model and the hydrogen generation model. Here, the focus is on a description of the electric power generation model (The flowdiagram on the right also shows only the electricity model). The hydrogen model follows a similar structure, and its key characteristics are briefly discussed in this Section.
