By: J. DeCarolis n

author keywords: Mathematical methods (JEL: CO2); Optimization; Uncertainty; Modeling
TL;DR: A technique borrowed from the operations research literature called modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) is introduced as a way to flex energy models and systematically explore the feasible, near-optimal solution space in order to develop alternatives that are maximally different in decision space but perform well with regard to the modeled objectives.
