The two main uncertainties are calculation of future energy conversion relating to development rates of the conversion technologies, and the consequences for the electricity system of a high level of market penetration of renewable energy.  
The two main uncertainties are calculation of future energy conversion relating to development rates of the conversion technologies, and the consequences for the electricity system of a high level of market penetration of renewable energy.  
TIMER electric power generation submodule has been tested for different levels of market penetration of renewable energy in the United States and western Europe ([[Hoogwijk et al., 2007]]). The model was shown to reproduce the behaviour of more detailed models that describe system integration costs. More recent studies seem to suggest that some of the limitations in renewable energy penetration can be overcome at reasonable costs, implying the current description is rather conservative. Integration costs for renewable energy are very uncertain because large shares of market penetration still need to be achieved, except in a few countries. In experiments run by The power system was exposed to all types of technology limitations in experiments run by Van Vliet et al. ([[Van Vliet et al., 2013|2013]]). These experiments showed that to achieve low stabilisation targets, a large portfolio of mitigation options should be available.
