Abstract
Energy is a vital input for social and economic development of any
nation. With increasing agricultural and industrial activities in
the country, the demand for energy is also increasing. Formulation
of an energy model will help in the proper allocation of widely available
renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, bioenergy and small
hydropower in meeting the future energy demand in India. During the
last decade several new concepts of energy planning and management
such as decentralized planning, energy conservation through improved
technologies, waste recycling, integrated energy planning, introduction
of renewable energy sources and energy forecasting have emerged.
In this paper an attempt has been made to understand and review the
various emerging issues related to the energy modeling. The different
types of models such as energy planning models, energy supplyâdemand
models, forecasting models, renewable energy models, emission reduction
models, optimization models have been reviewed and presented. Also,
models based on neural network and fuzzy theory have been reviewed
and discussed. The review paper on energy modeling will help the
energy planners, researchers and policy makers widely.
