Formulating a Pilot Model for Energy in Relation to the National Economy

Abstract

This dynamic linear-programming model, on a pilot scale is an attempt to describe in physical terms many of the technological interactions within and across the sectors of the economy, including a detailed energy sector. The general objective of the model is to determine, in the face of changing energy picture, what the country can achieve in physical terms over the long term, say 30 years. Preliminary work on the pilot model indicates that it can be completed within six months and that several useful scenarios can be run during the ensuing six months.
