Computerization of energy systems using modern systems techniques-perspectives, prospects and strategies for economic development: Part I
The survival and progress of modern civilization is dependent upon the phenomenon of energy. The cost of procurement of energy is increasing rapidly as is the cost of the associated technology to produce it. The developed nations have begun a process of redeveloping to meet the new challenge as a result of the change in the international energy scenario. Their redevelopment is guided by making more sophisticated use of energy and material resources and eventual reduction of the per capita energy requirements with potentially improved social and environmental conditions. While the industrialized or redeveloping countries are changing their trajectory, the developing nations must look to new models to guide their own economic development. Instead of expanding existing energy networks in response to increasing energy requirements, as has been done traditionally in the West, the developing nations should take advantage of existing modern systems modelling techniques with the objective of adapting them to their individual needs and objectives. Such an approach has the potential of lowering the cost of energy, contributing to new systems planning and design techniques in the applied research effort at the global level and improving the performance and reliability of energy systems.
