Challenges and gaps for energy planning models in the developing-world context

摘要: Energy planning models (EPMs) support multi-criteria assessments of the impact energy policies on economy and environment. Most EPMs have originated in developed countries are primarily aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing security. In contrast, most, if not all, developing predominantly concerned with increasing access. Here, we review thirty-four widely used to investigate their applicability find an absence consideration objectives, challenges, nuances context. Key deficiencies arise from lack deliberation low demand resulting access availability supply. Other inadequacies include socio-economic such as prevalence corruption cost inflation, methods for adequately addressing shortcomings data quality, adequacy, effects climate change. We argue further research characterisation modelling suppressed demand, change impacts, socio-political feedback countries, development contextual EPMs.
