SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM ELECTRICITY SUPPLY-DEMAND: BOTTOM-UP MODELS REVIEW AND OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED FRAMEWORK

Long-term electricity supply-demand can be generally represented into bottom-up models in order to perform
optimization with regard to available energy resources and demanded power. The main objective of such models is usually
to minimize energy system cost as well as sectoral cost. The aim of this paper is to present a brief review of the commonly
used bottom-up energy models and the overview of the proposed framework which describes a sustainable long-term
electricity supply-demand. The framework is mainly developed using Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System
(LEAP). In the proposed framework, Demand Side Management is considered as one of system’s scenario in the demand
side whereas utilization of locally available renewable energy resources is taken into account in the supply side.
