ENERGY MODEL FOR ENVIRONMENT POWER AND SOCIETY

摘要

This is an annual report and also a general contract summary of work on the energy models, concepts, and simulations for understanding the systems of environment, power, and society. Included is a general narrative of project work, summary of development of energy language and application of its models, simulations of systems of city and county size, development of net energy and energy quality theory, use of models and net energy theory to evaluate aspects of national policy, and aspects of interface between project work and national and state policy makers. Results this year include modeling and simulation of energy basis for Miami, Florida;net energy of coal, oil shale, solar water heating, and present nuclear power plants;and papers written on the theories of energy quality, energy theory of value, and investment ratio for estimating economic viability.
