The EFOM 12C energy supply model within the EC modelling system

摘要: Abstract This article describes the EC-EFOM 12C model in general and refers where possible to existing documentation. It also reports on first completed experimental case study planned future analysis. was developed one of research programs undertaken by European Commission aimed primarily at multinational studies. Data are obtained from carried out an interactive network national implementation teams working with a central group Commission. The energy system used is oriented carrying primary over intermediate stages till finally meeting consumers' demand. numerical information, constituting attributes that characterise various transformation processes, stored data base. About 225 processes distributed 17 subsystems characterised for six time periods up 2020 all EC countries involved. management base performed software this designed use simulation studies linear programming optimisation objective functions. has been parallel explore substitution possibilities between investment policy reducing imports these investments restrained cost having import more energy. Results shown briefly discussed. Finally relationship EFOM other models same subprogram outlined.
