Extending time horizons for energy analysis increases both the cumulative effect of gradual structural changes and the likelihood of revolutionary innovations, on scales ranging from individual end-use sectors or regions to the entire global economy. Distinguishing features of long-term modeling...

A methodology for model simplification is described, which uses the pseudo-data approach and known statistical techniques. An analysis of pseudo-data generated from the Brookhaven Energy System Optimization Model (BESOM) was undertaken to determine the interrelationship of imported oil use with...
