Excerpt from Or Models for Energy Planning

Quantitative models for energy planning have proliferated recently, in large part as a result of the energy crisis and concern for the environment. Our intention here is to discuss some existing OR energy models and analyses, to present some ideas about how they can be extended, and to suggest where new models might be particularly useful.

It is somewhat arbitrary to try to identify distinct OR models and analyses within the class of quantitative energy models and analyses because there is a great deal of overlap between the various mathematical disciplines that are used. We have chosen to try to make this distinction, however, because we feel the emphasis thus far has been placed somewhat more heavily on the economic and econometric aspects of energy planning. By this we mean that greater time and effort has been spent on econometric estimation of energy supply and demand functions.
