The role of centralized energy in national energy systems
Description
Energy is an essential input to the well-being of any society, and energy consumption is closely related to its production of goods and services. Thus, every society seeks an energy supply system which is most appropriate for its current needs and its future growth. This chapter addresses the electricity supply sector, and reviews the mix of factors which determine the optimum choice among the spectrum of available systems. Section headings: introduction; economic and technical determinants of electric power system development; regional socio-economic characteristics and power system determinants; appropriate power systems for different regions - a parametric analysis; conclusions.
