This session addresses spatial and temporal modelling of renewable and climate neutral energy systems, both in a prospective as well as in a retrospective manner. Therefore, contributions which model the characteristics of future systems are equally welcome as contributions assessing the characteristics of their past performance. Session contributions may range from assessments of climate data based simulations of renewable generation, over assessments of land use implications of renewables, to economic assessments linked to spatial and temporal variability of renewables and full energy system model studies applied to understand climate neutral energy systems.

Studies may for instance:
Show the spatial and temporal variability of renewable energy sources, including resource droughts and complementarity between technologies and locations.
Assess the resilience of energy systems to weather and climate extreme events, with a focus on infrastructure and resource adequacy, and analyze economic incentives to ensure reliable energy systems under current regulatory, market and tariff conditions.
Derive scenarios for the spatial allocation of renewable energies based on climatic, technical, economic, or social criteria.
Assess past spatial deployment patterns of renewables.
Assess past impacts on land cover and land-use, including impacts on biodiversity and other environmental indicators
Explore and quantify impacts of wind and solar power deployment on the social and natural environment in a spatially explicit way, including economic valuations of such impacts
Derive integrated scenarios of climate neutral energy systems (Including systems from the local scale, e.g. in form of local Energy Communities, to the national or continental scale).
Explore the flow of energy and carbon between energy-, and land- systems in climate neutrality scenarios

The objective of the session is to provide an insight into recent advances in the field of renewable energy system modeling. The session welcomes research dedicated to climatic and technical issues, assessments of environmental impacts, economic analysis of markets, policies and regulations, and forecasting applications , concerning renewable energy systems.
