Ruff National Center for Analysis of Energy Systems Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, New York Energy policy analysis and planning in both the public and priváté sectors of national economies is one of the most important issues of this decade. The present volume assesses the current state of knowledge on energy policy planning using the systems approach. Recent experience in this area is reviewed and evaluated, strengths and weaknesses in current practice are identified, and recommendations for future research are provided. Each chapter is written by an international authority in the field; somé are contributed by the policymakers themselves. An overview of methodological and operational issues precedes chapters covering a wide rangé of topics, including the use of models in decision making, methods for model evaluation, the communication problem in energy policy analysis, the use of energy models for business decisions, and multiobjective energy analysis. Energy Policy Planning will be of immediate assistance to researchers and workers in systems science, economics, and applied mathematics. Vissza
