Draft:Models for Power Sector Planning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Overview

[edit]

Power sector modeling is a mathematical simulation of the electrical grid. These models analyzes future demand, costs, policy impacts, and capacity needs. Power sector modeling serves as a critical tool in achieving the objectives set forth by Order 1920[1]. Modeling helps to identify long term transmission needs, by assessing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and transmission methods. The modeling provides a framework for transmission planning and policy formulation. [2][3][4][5]
