Abstract:
Many countries face the challenge of growing electricity demand, greenhouse gas emissions limits, and energy security goals. Decision support models can help plan energy systems to balance these considerations. Carbon emission pinch analysis (CEPA) and P-graph optimisation model were developed to aid regional energy planning while considering current power generation capacity and potential growth. The model was demonstrated for a case study in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It is was found that significant amount of renewable energy should be introduced to meet future demands.
