EFOM 12 C case studies: candidate technologies to relieve the European energy system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5345134
The impact of new technologies on the energy system of Belgium is assessed with the aid of the linear programming model (EFOM). Background descriptions are given-of the scenario for relative price variations between different energy forms, of the energy demand hypotheses, and of the new technologies studied. The detailed results of the reference case, i.e. minimal total energy cost, the effect of progressive reductions in imported energy cost, and the effect of a nuclear moratorium are analysed and conclusions drawn. The advantages of new technologies based on coal, nuclear, and solar energies are compared. The importance of energy conservation measures and the significant potential of nuclear power are emphasized.
