Documentation of the integrating module and stock module of the intermediate future forecasting system

OSTI ID:6426010

This report describes the central integrating module (MAIN) of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) that was used to produce the energy forecasts published in the Annual Energy Outlook 1986. IFFS is a partial equilibrium model of the energy markets. The model consists of four supply modules, a stock module, a macroeconomic module, five demand modules, a benchmark integration module, and the central integrating module whose primary function is to direct the execution sequence of the other modules. A brief description is given of the total system, but the focus of the report is on the integrating module. In addition, two supporting programs for IFFS, the run submission and the reporting systems, are described briefly. IFFS is a partial equilibrium model of domestic energy supply and demand. Energy markets, as represented in the model, correspond generally to the energy flow in the United States. The model has a representation of energy supply, conversion, and demand. IFFS projects the energy market on an annual basis; that is, the model is used to solve an equilibrium in each year before moving on to the next. The primary design feature of IFFS is its modularity. The model is organized by fuels - crude and refined oil products, natural gas, coal, and electricity - for supply, and by end-use sectors - residential, commercial, transportation, industrial, and industrial minor fuels - for demand. The individual modules vary in the depth of their structural representation. 22 refs.
