The Stanford PILOT Energy/Economic Model.
Abstract
The PILOT Energy Modeling Project is concerned with: (1) performing modeling and methodology research dealing with construction and solution of reasonably large scale mathematical programming models of energy/economic systems; (2) using modeling research towards analysis of some of today's important energy questions; and (3) using the modeling and methodology to construct better models for improved analysis of tomorrow's important energy questions. At the core of this project is the development of a multisector, intertemporal linear programming modeling system that describes in physical terms many of the technological interactions within and across the sectors of the American economy. The general aim of the modeling effort is to permit studies to assess (1) how specific energy policies will affect the energy supply/demand picture and (2) how the physical capacity of the economy over the next 30-35 years to provide goods and services to its populace could be affected by changes in energy supply. Intertemporal linear programming models of the energy sector and the economy provide a unique medium for exploring future energy policy options.
