“…The results are reported in Table I where the models are listed in order of appearance in the studies presented in Table II (i.e. ENPEP-BALANCE is used in [24], MASTER.SO in [8], and so on...). Plenty of other models' features could be investigated and discussed.…”

“…Depending on the degree of complexity of the analysis on the objective to optimize, the models were classified as linear and non linear. While the theoretical difference among the two methods is commonly acknowledged, it was found that those models which presented non linearity were either considering a multi-objective optimization approach [40], [41], considering non-linear cost supply curves of resources used in power generation [12] or including non linear modules while solving the optimization [24](e.g. BALANCE module for ENPEP [29]).…”

“…The purposes can be divided in three categories: (1) GHG/CO 2 mitigation options investigation, (2) targets fulfillment study and (3) analysis of policies and programs development. According to this division, the studies [8], [24], [31] belongs to the first category, [7], [12], [13] to the second, while the remaining to the third (see Table II). Concerning the technique adopted, due to the nature of the models and the way the problems were mathematically formulated, almost all the studies follow the "system operation/investments-cost minimization while adhering to constraints" approach.…”

Abstract-Energy is a commodity used worldwide, representing a vital input for social and economic development. Due to continuous growth, energy demand has increased. Solutions have been proposed in order to satisfy the increase in demand, often implying the increase of capacity of the power mix. Meanwhile, current issues concerning climate change and fossil fuels depletion has moved attention towards cleaner ways to produce energy. This trend facilitated the breakthrough of renewable technologies. Since then, support policies have promoted the large deployment of renewables, without considering enough the improvements made in the energy saving field. Indeed, little attention has been paid to implement energy efficiency measures, which has resulted in scenarios where expedients for a wise use of energy (e.g. energy savings and renewables share) are unbalanced. The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate international experiences on finding the optimal trade-off between efficiency improvements and additional renewable energy supply. A critical review of each technique, focusing on purposes, methodology and outcomes, is provided along with a review of tools adopted for the analyses. The models are categorized and presented according to their main characteristics (e.g. bottomup/top-down model, regional/national analysis, partial/general equilibrium, static/dynamic model). The results of this paper provide, to the decision-makers, informations useful to identify a suitable analysis for investigate on the optimal trade-off between renewables and energy efficiency measures in energy-systems under different objectives.

SUMMARYThe needs that an energy supply system must meet are constantly changing, due to technological, social and political reasons. Effective energy planning is a dynamic process that is repeated periodically and adjusts to changing conditions. Energy decision makers and planners are no longer able to rely on inductive decision making since they have to investigate the effect of various decision parameters and possible future changes. To help in this process, models have been developed where estimates of future load growth, candidate power plants, fuels and other key factors can be introduced, from which the planners can evaluate decision parameters and the available alternatives. The paper presents the different methodologies and practices that are used by 11 energy models for energy demand forecasting, supply side management and generation expansion planning, demand side management and integrated resource planning. The paper concludes to the presentation of a strategic appraisal of the examined energy models appropriate for energy planning in Mozambique. Three models are proposed for conducting demand forecasting, generation expansion planning and demand side management.
