Revisions to the Mid-term Energy Market Model relating to natural gas regulation, advanced technologies, coal demand and dynamics. Supplement to the integrating model of the Project Independence Evaluation System
This report consists of four technical memoranda documenting four major modeling improvements which were made to the DOE Mid-term Energy Market Model (MEMM) in late 1978 and early 1979 during the preparation of the EIA's Annual Report to Congress, 1978. The changes, and the subjects of the memoranda, include: (1) extensive revision of the modeling of natural gas regulation to reflect provisions of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978; (2) more sophisticated treatment of advanced energy technologies (oil shale, coal conversion, solar/geothermal, solid waste conversion, enhanced oil recovery, and enhanced gas recovery); (3) more detailed treatment of the demand for coal of various sulfur contents and the costs associated with the use of such coal, particularly in the electric utility sector; and (4) changes in the modeling of dynamics to accommodate the extension of the model to 1995 and the more detailed modeling of coal-fired utility plants.
