Excerpt from Or Models for Energy Planning
Quantitative models for energy planning have proliferated recently, in large part as a result of the energy crisis and concern for the environment. Our intention here is to discuss some existing OR energy models and analyses, to present some ideas about how they can be extended, and to suggest where new models might be particularly useful.
It is somewhat arbitrary to try to identify distinct OR models and analyses within the class of quantitative energy models and analyses because there is a great deal of overlap between the various mathematical disciplines that are used. We have chosen to try to make this distinction, however, because we feel the emphasis thus far has been placed somewhat more heavily on the economic and econometric aspects of energy planning. By this we mean that greater time and effort has been spent on econometric estimation of energy supply and demand functions.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of mathematical and economic models, engineering principles, and decision analysis to inform strategic energy planning for the United States. The author contends that while econometric estimation and forecasting of energy supply and demand relationships are useful, they must be complemented by detailed mathematical programming models and multi-criteria optimization methods to fully understand complex energy systems and make informed choices. Providing a comprehensive overview of existing models and analyses, the author also suggests areas where new models and approaches might be particularly useful. The book therefore serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of energy planning, contributing to the ongoing development of effective and sustainable energy policies.
