Implementation of WASP-III on an IBM PC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5171195
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is currently developing a microcomputer-based energy planning package entitled ENergy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP). As presently constructed, ENPEP consists of six analytic modules that can be run sequentially or independently: (1) macroeconomic analysis, (2) energy demand forecasting, (3) integrated energy demand/supply analysis, (4) electric load forecasting, (5) expansion planning for electrical generating systems, and (6) impacts of alternative supply systems. The Wien Automatic System Planning Package (WASP-III) is the fifth module of ENPEP and forms the heart of the ENPEP analytic capability. The experience in converting WASP-III to the IBM PC is reviewed and some recommendations for good performance on the PC are given. Finally, a few suggestions are presented for WASP improvements from the point of view of the user of the personal computer version of WASP.
