From the viewpoint of energy system modelling, this paper systematically analyses energy models developed by various international organisations. Their modelling approaches, functions, modelling structures, as well as their typical applications are reviewed. The review will be helpful for...

The paper addresses the key points of methodology for system studies in energy as a fundamental trend of energy science. This methodology is developed at the Energy Systems Institute, the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science. Three areas of study are discussed, comprising system...

Based on the complex system theory, this paper extends the current notion of the Energy-Economy-Environment (3E) model and establishes a theoretical framework for the Society-Economy-Energy-Environment-Technology (SE³T) complex system. The components and structure of SE³T are described, as...

Energy is essential to economic and social development and improved quality of life. The European Union (EU) constitutes one of the world's largest energy consumers. The EU members include â among others â Germany and Greece, two countries with large disparities/differences in their energy...

The paper uses an example from East Siberia to deal with the impact of natural factors on the operation of energy systems (hydraulic and heat power engineering), the methodology and methods of their forecasting, experience of operation of the information-forecasting system and risks to and...

Scenarios are used in research, foresight, planning, policy-making and business strategy within the energy domain. There is no common theoretical and methodological framework for making scenario analysis. Rather, definitions and methodologies are most often tailored for specific uses. Scenarios...
