Such models often employ scenario analysis to investigate different assumptions about the technical and economic conditions at play. Outputs may include the system feasibility, greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative financial costs, natural resource use, and energy efficiency of the system under investigation. A wide range of techniques are employed, ranging from broadly economic to broadly [[Engineering|engineering]].[1] [[Mathematical_optimization|Mathematical optimization]] is often used to determine the least-cost in some sense. Models can be international, regional, national, municipal, or stand-alone in scope. Governments maintain national energy models for energy policy development. ## Key points - Energy modeling or energy system modeling is the process of building computer models of energy systems in order to analyze them. - Such models often employ scenario analysis to investigate different assumptions about the technical and economic conditions at play. - Outputs may include the system feasibility, greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative financial costs, natural resource use, and energy efficiency of the system under investigation. - A wide range of techniques are employed, ranging from broadly economic to broadly engineering. - Mathematical optimization is often used to determine the least-cost in some sense. ## Relation to Systems Thinking Energy modeling sits within the Systems Thinking cluster of related concepts. Its principles contribute to understanding [[Feedback|feedback]], [[Emergence|emergence]], and dynamic behavior in complex adaptive systems. ## Sources - [Energy modeling — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_modeling) Back to Systems Thinking ---  ## Semiotic profile > *The semiotic universals this article invokes, machine-derived from the crossref — **unverified** (born so).
