TIMER model version overview

Overview of all timer versions and their change path

Versions of TIMER model

Version	Description	Changes
TIMER 3.2	Short note on this version
TIMER 3.0.1	Model version as used for the implementation of the SSP scenarios	Model component: Energy supply Bio-energy: new bio-energy crop (grassy biomass) has been added and more detailed modeled to derive the potential for residues. Model component: Energy conversion The electric power model has been significantly improved to better describe the penetration of intermittent technologies vis-à-vis reliability and load constraints. Model component: Energy conversion Concentrated solar power and wind power in coastal seas have been added as additional technologies. Model component: Energy demand The transport model has been updated with new information on the performance of different technologies. Model component: Energy demand The model describing demand for non-energy use of fossil fuels and biomass has been improved. Model component: Emissions The model has been recalibrated using information of EDGAR database and the GAINS database
TIMER 3.0	Initial version of IMAGE 3.0 framework
