Macro energy systems modeling for the least developed and

Macro energy system models are typically linear programs that minimize the total system cost of energy supply over a user-specified time horizon, subject to both system-level and user-defined constraints. These models represent the energy system as a process-based network in which technologies are linked together by flows of energy commodities.

In 1905 a power plant was set up in Hafnarfjörður, a town which is a suburb of Reykjavík. Reykjavík wanted to copy their success, so they appointed Thor Jenssen to run and build a gas station, Gasstöð Reykjavíkur. Jenssen could not get a loan to finance the project, so a deal was made with Carl Francke to build and run the station, with options for the city to buy him out. Construction starte
