| Aim: To give the participants a thorough insight into methodology and means of national and international energy planning, especially regarding a sustainable development of the energy sector. |
| Contents: The most important methods and tools for national and international energy planning are reviewed. In this connection aggregated macro-models (top-down) are compared to more detailed "engineering models", build up from the bottom. In addition models with different levels of internal dynamics are described, ranging from relatively static spread sheet models to dynamic simulation models and interactive "gaming" models. Finally the procurement of the data used as input to the models is discussed, including the basis of background scenarios for future life style, economic development etc. During the course, the participants will have the opportunity to work with selected computer models. The importance of energy planning for the environment is illustrated by national and international examples, in relation to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, including analyses from UN's climate panel (IPCC). The prospects of planning are assessed in view of international conventions and directives (UN, WTO and EU). The participants will get the opportunity to create and analyse selected scenarios for the development in the field of energy/environment. |
