Simulation models to study development of the coal industry as energy sector component Статья конференции Takaishvili L. 2018 International Conference on Regional Energy Policy of Asian Russia, REPAR 2018 E3S Web of Conferences. Vol.77. ID: 02004. DOI: 10.1051/e3sconf/20197702004 2019 This paper presents simulation models constructed at Melentiev Energy Systems Institute of SB RAS to study prospects of the coal industry development in Russia and its regions. The models are implemented within the information and model software COAL, which includes four types of models: Three types of balance models and a model intended to assess investment projects of enterprises and their groups. The balance models differ in the level of detail of representing the coal industry in regions. The presented models may be applied both jointly with the existing optimization models and independently. © 2019 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. Библиографическая ссылкаTakaishvili L.
