A LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR IRAN FUEL ENERGY PROBLEMS

The objective of this paper is to develop a modeling system whereby the national planning for the investments, supply, and distribution of fuels to the energy consuming sectors can be analyzed and allocated within a cost minimization framework. The study focuses on energy sectors including oil, gas, and electricity in two time periods (Phase 1, 1966-1981) and (Phase 11, 1981-2001), using a revised simplex method linear programming algorithm. The optimum results of the model are also compared with the real values.
