Regional reference energy systems. [Projection to year 2000]
A regional energy systems formulation incorporating an integrative view of the energy system such that all resources, technologies, and uses of energy are set forth in a uniform manner is presented here. This approach, based on the Reference Energy System (RES), is broadly applicable to the assessment of energy technologies and policies at a regional level. Reference Energy Systems have been developed for each of the nine census regions and summaries of the regional data for the entire United States are given. RES's were formulated for the base year 1972, and projections were developed for 1980, 1985, and 2000. The RES and associated data provide a baseline against which the substitution of alternate technologies and policies can be evaluated. The Reference Energy System incorporates a detailed disaggregation of regional energy demands in the Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Transportation Sectors. The regional supply of fossil fuels, including the supply of electricity by type of generating plant, is projected through the year 2000.
