Linear-programming bottom-up energy systems models are useful tools for economic and environmental technology
assessment. The conventional approach is to consider several cases with different assumptions and compare their results. The
conventional approach is surely based on sensitivity analysis; however, range analysis has the potential to derive information
from the models more systematically. This study investigates the applicability of range analysis to the linear-programming
bottom-up energy systems model. A simple hypothetical energy system model is considered as a case study. Comparing the
conventional approach with the range analysis approach, this study demonstrates that range analysis provides useful
information such as the accurate marginal abatement cost curve and cost targets for introducing new technologies, unlike the
conventional approach. This paper also shows the range analysis is applicable to a degenerate model.
