Multi-objective regional energy planning: application to the energy-park concept

Book ·
OSTI ID:5284051
A model based on hierarchial system theory and input-output analysis is developed for planning an energy park in a specific region. The concept of multi-objective decision-making tools to deal with the complex problems of energy planning is a relatively new approach which tries to introduce sensitivity into multiple interests while conforming with the technical or system characteristics of the energy system. The impacts of energy park development on the regional economy, environment, energy supply and demand, and employment are examined using the policy programming procedure. The need for regional agencies to participate more strongly in large-scale energy facilities is demonstrated. 239 references, 8 figures, 45 tables. (DCK)
