IRATE: An Interactive Computer Program for Access to the Energy System Network Simulator (ESNS) Model

摘要

An interactive computer program was developed to facilitate access to the Energy System Network Simulator (ESNS) model and is presented in this report. ESNS is an energy-process flow model developed to assist in the analysis and evaluation of energy and/or environmental policy questions for the U.S. energy system. A primary application for the ESNS model is the generation of perturbation analyses by the modification of any of the input parameters. The code described in this report permits individuals with a minimal amount of programming expertise to directly input a prepared analysis at a computer terminal. (ERA citation 03:031107)
