Biotrans functional and technical description. Report of VIEWLS WP5, modelling studies

摘要: [en] The overall objectives of this project are to provide structured and clear data on the availability and performance of biofuels and to identify the possibilities and strategies towards large scale sustainable production, use and trading of biofuels for the transport sector in Europe, including Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC). The report supplements the two other reports in the work package:'Biofuel and Bio-energy implementation scenarios-final report of VIEWLS WP5'(2005) and'VIEWLS modelling and analysis, technical data for biofuel production chains'(2005). This document contains a functional and technical description of the BioTrans model, accompanied by a description of the system. Section 2 contains a conceptual and functional description of the biofuel model. Section 3 describes the optimisation method in technical terms, discussing aspects like the target function and constraints used. Finally, section 4 discusses the input and output requirements for the BioTrans system
