“…In simple terms, the model is designed to simulate the competition between technologies and energy sources to meet the demand for energy services (that are exogenous to the model, including lighting, heating/cooling requirements, mechanical energy, mobility, among others), with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the system. There are several studies in the literature using MESSAGE that analyze energy mix scenarios for medium and long-term public policies in several countries [74][75][76][77][78] .…”

“…MESSAGE allows modelling the impacts on the environment caused by the energy sector activities. Researchers have used the MESSAGE model for energy planning in their respective counties under various conditions [6,7,8,9]. The paper [6] examines the global impacts of a policy that internalizes the external costs (related to air pollution damage, excluding climate costs) of electricity generation using a combined energy systems and macroeconomic model.…”

Abstract:Long term energy sector planning is essential for a country to achieve sustainable development in all its social, economic and environmental dimensions. Furthermore, it will ensure the energy supply security of the country. The energy supply side needs to deal with technical, economic and environmental assessments of all energy supply options such as natural resources, energy imports, energy exports etc. The energy supply side should follow policy directives of the government and should take into account all other related constraints. Similarly, the demand side too has to deal with the assessment of future energy needs of various consumption sectors, policy directives etc. In this study the software MESSAGE was used to model the energy chains associated with petroleum, coal and Natural Gas (NG) in relation to Sri Lanka. The national energy chain was modelled considering the modernizations of the existing refinery through the introduction of NG to the energy sector and the introduction of electric vehicles. In addition, the viability of constructing a urea plant was also explored.

“…MESSAGE is an integer programmingbased optimization model (Hainoun et al, 2010), and has been developed by International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and currently supported by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The energy systems of the three countries have been modeled with four scenarios, namely the reference, low carbon society 1 (LCS1), low carbon society 2 (LCS2), and low carbon society 3 (LCS3) scenarios.…”

Energy security has become of importance to many countries that are facing the developmental challenge. In this regard, this paper analyses the effect of CO 2 mitigation measures in the power sector on the energy security of three developing Asian countries, namely Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. This paper contends that energy security consists of three important themes, namely oil security, gas security, and sustainability. The energy systems of the three countries were modeled using an integer programming-based optimization model called "Model for Energy Supply Strategy Alternatives and their General Environmental Impacts" (MESSAGE), and the time frame of analyses was 2007-2030. Results show that there is significant increase in the sustainability of the energy systems due to CO 2 mitigation measures in all three countries whilst oil security and to a lesser extent gas security were not significantly enhanced.
