Trend Analysis Model to Forecast Energy Supply and Demand

摘要

A particular approach to energy forecasting which was studied in considerable detail was trend extrapolation. This technique, termed the trend analysis model, was suggested by Dr. S. Scott Sutton, the EIA contract technical officer. While a variety of equations were explored during this part of the study, they are variations of a basic formulation. This report describes the trend analysis model, demonstrates the trend analysis model and documents the computer program used to produce the model results. (ERA citation 09:035628)
