Finally, the demand for secondary energy carriers is determined on the basis of the demand for energy services and the relative prices of the energy carriers. For each energy carrier, a final efficiency value (η) is assumed to account for differences between energy carriers in converting final energy into energy services. The indicated market share ([[HasAcronym::IMS]]) of each fuel is generally determined by using a multinomial logit model that assigns market shares to the different carriers (i) on the basis of their relative prices in a set of competing carriers (j).

Here, IMS is the indicated market share of different energy carriers (or technologies) and c is their ‘costs’. In this equation, λ represents the so-called logit parameter, determining the sensitivity of markets to price differences. In the equation, not only direct production costs are accounted for, but also energy and carbon taxes and so-called premium values. The last reflect non-price factors determining market shares, such as preferences, environmental policies, infrastructures (or the lack thereof) and strategic considerations. These premium values are determined in the model’s calibration process in order to simulate correctly historical market shares on the basis of simulated price information. The same parameters are used in scenarios as a way of simulating the assumption of societal preferences for clean and/or convenient fuels. The market shares of traditional biomass and secondary heat, in contrast, are determined by exogenous scenario parameters (except for the residential sector discussed below).

TIMER model, energy demand module
Some sectors are represented in a generic way as shown here, the sectors transport, residential and heavy industry are modelled in specific modules.
