MESSAGE (Modular Energy System Simulation)

MESSAGE (Modular Energy System Simulation) is a computer tool used to model and analyze how different energy systems—like power plants, renewable sources, and storage—operate together. It helps engineers and planners evaluate various configurations and policies to optimize energy production, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. By simulating these complex interactions, MESSAGE supports decision-making for designing sustainable and efficient energy systems, ensuring they meet future needs reliably and affordably.
