Model Methodology and Data Description of the Electricity Market Module: Volume 2. Planning Component

摘要

The Electricity Market Module (EMM) is a computerized model of the electric utilities industry. It is a component of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS), which is used to provide year-by-year projections of energy markets. This report documents the version of the EMM used in the IFFS model to produce forecasts for the ''Annual Outlook for US Electric Power 1989'', the ''Annual Outlook for US Coal 1989'', and the ''Oil and Gas Annual Fuels Outlook 1989'' and ''Electricity Generation from Natural Gas: Prospects and Implications for the United States''. Previous versions of the EMM have already been documented. The model has been updated and modified since the original documentation was published. This updated documentation has been developed to comply with requirements set forth in the Energy Information Administration Order EI-5910.3A, ''Guidelines and Procedures for Model Documentation'', October 1985. This report and its companion volumes describe the methodology and data used in the EMM model. The documentation is intended for energy analysts and others interested in specific information on how EIA develops projections for the electric utilities industry.
