Industrial end-use planning methodology (INDEPTH): Demonstration of design: Volume 1, Econometric forecasting models: Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6950978

The INDEPTH industrial planning methodology will enable utilities to forecast service area electricity demand. The system allows the user to develop energy forecasts for the whole industrial sector, to examine industries most important to the service area, and to study uses of electricity that are of interest in demand-side management programs. The econometric model in this volume forecasts energy use for the entire industrial sector using a set of simultaneous factor demand equations with an imposed structure derived from the economic theory of cost-minimizing behavior.
