Wang, N. (author), Verzijlbergh, R.A. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy system optimization models are widely used to aid long-term investment decision-making for energy systems. From a socio-technical system viewpoint, existing models focus on the cost modeling of the technical subsystem, while the indirect costs of the social subsystem are not often modeled. This paper incorporates indirect costs into such...journal article 2023
