Energy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP-BALANCE)
Energy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP-BALANCE) is a nonlinear equilibrium model that matches the demand for energy with available resources and technologies. Its market-based simulation approach allows ENPEP-BALANCE to determine the response of various segments of the energy system to changes in energy prices and demand levels. The model relies on a decentralized decision-making process in the energy sector and can be calibrated to the different preferences of energy users and suppliers.
Key questions addressed:
- What is the impact of technical and policy constraints on energy markets in the future?
- What is the projected environmental impact of energy markets in the future?
Sample data inputs:
- Energy system structure
- Base-year energy statistics
- Projected energy demand growth
- Technical and policy constraints
Sample quantitative outputs:
- Equilibrium prices and quantities of energy sources
- Energy consumption by sector or fuel type
- Primary energy supply
- Power sector fuel consumption
- Emissions by sector and fuel type
