dc.description.abstractWe motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem(MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-downgeneral equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic.We first lay out that the MCP approach provides an explicit representation of weak inequalitiesand complementarity between decision variables and market equilibrium conditions.This permits us to combine bottom-up technological details and top-down economic richnessin a single mathematical format. We then provide a stylized example of how to integratebottom-up features into a top-down modeling framework along with worked examples andcomputer programs which illustrate our approach.en
