Samenvatting:
The paper describes experience gained from experiments with thecomprehensive energy system model MARKAL for Western Europe, including
endogenous technology learning based on the learning-by-doing mechanism.
These experiments have confirmed the benefits expected from adoption of the
mechanism. An important issue, often overlooked in simple models, is the
notion of interdependency between (families of) technologies, rather than
considering individually learning technologies. An approach to address such
clusters has been developed and tested. The results indicate that the new
'cluster feature' improves the internal consistency and allows for assessment
of spill-over and cross-over effects, and other mechanisms identified in
technology dynamics. Insights are gained in economic benefits associated with
context-driven technological progress, as well as in the potential of R&D and
market deployment policies. 17 refs.
