Description
Summary:Integrated planning analysis can provide evidence to support decision making and consensus building about sensitive issues in the energy sector. To support analysis, an optimization model imputes costs to a range of pertinent activities (capital and operating costs of power plants, operating and closing costs for mines, emission control costs), thereby defining a set of functions that can be solved simultaneously to determine the lowest system cost.
