Accounting Framework Based Electricity Energy Planning Software Involving Renewable Energy

This paper presents design and development of an accounting based long-term electricity energy planning software. The developed software is intended to be utilized as a learning and research tool. The software�s ability includes accounting based calculation and graphical visualization of inputted values of electricity consumption and power generation capacities for baseline year. Electricity consumption growth rate projection for
each supply-demand scenario is also provided to allow user work
with up to five different supply-demand scenarios. Selection of
fossil fuel as well as renewable energy based power plants along
with several parameters settings, transmission and distribution
losses calculation, resources analysis, and environmental impact
calculation in terms of CO2 emission are also in the feature. The
software has been well tested and results are compared to that
achieved by similar other licensed software.
