Aleebrahimdehkordi, M. (author), Lechner, J.M. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS), whether simple toy models or complex data-driven ones, is regularly applied in various domains to study the system-level patterns arising from individual behaviour and interactions. However, ABMS still faces diverse challenges such as modelling more representative agents or improving computational...journal article 2023

Wijermans, Nanda (author), Scholz, G. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Heppenstall, Alison (author), Filatova, T. (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Semeniuk, Christina (author), Stöppler, Frithjof (author)Agent-based models are particularly suitable to reflect the dynamics of humans, nature, and their interactions, making them a crucial approach for understanding social-ecological systems. The formalisations of human decision-making are central to resulting model behaviours. Despite awareness of the complexity of human behaviour in social...journal article 2023

Melliger, Marc (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Support schemes have been central to the expansion of renewable electricity globally and in the European Union. As technologies mature, individual member states may decide to phase out these policies. While previous research has shown that such policy changes affect investors’ decisions, we investigate how they affect pathways and electricity...journal article 2022

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Schleich, Joachim (author), Guetlein, Marie Charlotte (author), Faure, Corinne (author), Bouwmans, I. (author)In this paper, we link findings from a demographically representative discrete choice experiment (DCE) in eight European countries on the adoption of smart thermostats with an agent-based model (ABM) in a methodologically consistent way. We employ the ABM to simulate the diffusion pattern of smart thermostats until 2030 and to examine the...journal article 2022

de Wildt, T.E. (author), Boijmans, Anne R. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)This paper demonstrates an approach to assess, ex ante, the social acceptance of sustainable heating systems in city districts. More sustainable heating systems are required in city districts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these systems may lack social acceptance as they often require significant adjustments to homes and may...journal article 2021

Hofstede, G.J. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Complex systems produce recognizable self-organized patterns across time. This conceptual paper consists of a systematic reflection on what kinds of archetypical patterns systems can show, and in what kinds of cases these patterns could occur. Agent-based models are used to exemplify each pattern. We present a classification of the breadth of...conference paper 2021

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Bouwmans, I. (author), Deijkers, Emma (author)This paper introduces EMLab-Consumer, an agent-based model developed in the H2020 project Cheetah, on energy efficiency of households. The model builds on the theory of planned behavior, a large European survey and a variety of choice models generated from the same survey. It studies adoption of a number of energy efficient appliances and...conference paper 2021

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We simulate climate and energy policy for the EU using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach, we named Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The agent-based model focuses on investment in power generation and studies long run effects of various interacting European energy policies, and incorporates differences between countries....abstract 2020

Holtz, Georg (author), Schnülle, Christian (author), Yadack, Malcolm (author), Friege, J.M. (author), Jensen, T. (author), Thier, Pablo (author), Viebahn, Peter (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)The German Energiewende is a deliberate transformation of an established industrial economy towards a nearly CO2-free energy system accompanied by a phase out of nuclear energy. Its governance requires knowledge on how to steer the transition from the existing status quo to the target situation (transformation knowledge). The energy system is,...journal article 2020

de Wildt, T.E. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)This paper explores capability conflicts in the deployment of decentralised energy systems and identifies the affected population. These systems have positive societal impacts in terms of sustainability and consumer empowerment, but they are not accessible to all and their deployment may increase socio-economic inequalities. The societal...journal article 2020

(author), Borit, Melania (author), Verhagen, Harko (author), Giardini, Francesca (author), Gilbert, Nigel (author)The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a dramatic loss of lives worldwide, challenging the sustainability of our health care systems, threatening economic meltdown, and putting pressure on the mental health of individuals (due to social distancing and lock-down measures). The pandemic is also posing severe challenges to the scientific community, with...journal article 2020

Yang, Liu (author), Zhang, Lufeng (author), Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, Andreas (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), van Dam, Koen H. (author)Car-oriented transport infrastructure developments have had detrimental impacts on the public realm in terms of poor walkability and fractured leftover urban spaces. To build integrated transport infrastructure and public space systems with considering non-motorized travelers’ behavior, we present an integrated methodology incorporating an...journal article 2020

Hesselink, Laurens X.W. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Increasing the adoption of energy efficient technologies by households is one of the formulated strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a systematic review of agent-based modelling studies on the adoption of energy efficiency by households. It starts with an overview of barriers for adoption, of energy efficiency...journal article 2019

Kraan, Oscar (author), Kramer, Gert Jan (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Koning, Vinzenz (author)Full decarbonisation of the electricity system is one of the key elements to limit global warming. As this transition takes place, the electricity system must maintain system adequacy and remain affordable to consumers. In liberalised electricity markets investors are seen as key actors driving this transition. Due to the intermittent...journal article 2019

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Marcheselli, A. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We analyze the effectiveness of a forward capacity market (FCM) with long-term contracts in an electricity market in the presence of a growing share of renewable energy. An agent-based model is used for this analysis. Capacity markets can compensate for the deteriorating incentive to invest in controllable power plants when the share of...journal article 2017
