Network Based Regional Energy Planning Models: An Evolutionary Exposé

  • Chapter

Abstract

Several versions of an interactive energy planning model featuring the various forms of energy sources, distribution systems, technologies, own price-demand elasticities by product and by sector, as well as price leader pricing scenarios have been developed. The equilibrium models calculate period by period energy prices, demands and supplies thereby maximizing consumer surplus at every period given the price leader’s set price for oil — or any other reference commodity. Tests performed with a multiregion problem over a long term planning horizon are discussed. These tests demonstrate the high computational efficiency of this modeling technique, thereby making it possible to use this model interactively.

In as much as this paper covers a succession of energy models, acknowledgement is due to the various sponsors of this research, culminating in the development of the current version of Model III, namely: The Transportation Systems Center of the United States Department of Transportation, The Canada Council for the Social Sciences, Canada’s National Research Council, The Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries, and Dow Chemical Inc. (United States).
