Modeling of Large-Scale Energy Systems; Proceedings of the IIASA/IFAC Symposium on Modeling of Large-Scale Energy Systems

The problem of the seventies was energy, and the business of modeling energy systems boomed. As models became more sophisticated, and as the international and intercontinental aspects of the energy problem became clearer, the boundaries of the energy systems being modeled grew to the point where it was useful to distinguish a special category of energy models: those dealing with large-scale energy systems.
Practical experience in building and applying models for large-scale energy systems has been accumulating at a rapid rate in recent years. Thus, to contribute to communicating and assimilating some of the lessons learned in the seventies about modeling large-scale energy systems, the Systems Engineering Committee of IFAC (the International Federation of Automatic Control) and the Energy Systems Program at IIASA organized an international symposium on this subject. This volume contains 43 papers given at the symposium.
