Energy, 2008, vol. 33, issue 10, 1498-1507

Abstract: This paper outlines the past analysis and projected planning of the Irish electricity generation sector using an extension of a novel methodology based on a graphical optimisation concept. The main two adaptations/extensions to the current form of the methodology are proposed as both the forecasting adaptation and the extension that accounts for the dynamic nature of electricity supply–demand. The determination of an optimal energy resource (OER) mix (or optimal fuel mix) for the sector will look to give guidelines towards fulfilling the sector's Kyoto targets, as well as yielding a possible approach for other sectors to follow in the future. Data pertaining to the sector for the year 2005 was taken in order to illustrate the analysis and forecasting procedures.
