| Members of the Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme
(ETSAP) and
their partners cooperate to establish, maintain and expand a consistent
multi-country energy/economy/environment analytical capability. Key
features are individual national teams (in over 50
countries) and a
common, comparable and combinable methodology, mainly based on the
MARKAL model, permitting in-depth
national and multi-country evaluations. The leading role of technology
for actually affecting changes in energy consumption and production
patterns and emission profiles is represented by rich (hundreds of technologies) and
country-specific databases.

| Josef Kallrath is a specialist in modeling and solving mixed integer linear and nonlinear optimization problems. He offers consultancy services since 1998 especially in the process industry, paper and metal industry, and telecommunication. His service includes the model building process, implementation of the mathematical model in a modeling language, (see Josef Kallrath, 2004, Modeling Languages in Mathematical Optimization, Kluwer), solving the problem using standard solvers, and, if standard solvers are not sufficient, the construction of tailored solution algorithm, e.g., column enumeration or column generation techniques. Especially, for large scale problems, problems leading to optimization under uncertainty, or problems for which it is not obvious how to model and to solve them, his service might be very valuable. The customer base is not limited to his home country Germany, but also includes reference customers from the US, England or Japan. Josef Kallrath also offers GAMS modeling and optimization courses, as well as in-house course adjusted to client's wishes.
