Technical-economic modeling in energy planning
A combined technological-economic model has been developed and applied to the assessment of alternative energy technologies and policies. The individual models that have been assembled are the Hudson-Jorgenson model of the economy and interindustry transactions, and the Brookhaven Energy System Optimization Model. Other data bases and fixed coefficient input/output models are employed as data sources and accounting frameworks to support this combined technological-economic model. The combined model has been used to develop long-range projections of energy-economic relationships and to perform cost benefit analyses of the U.S. energy R and D programs. The models assist in the comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships between technological change, the overall economy, and the environment as new resources and options such as conservation are implemented.
