Use of WASP by the Asian Development Bank
Description
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) acquired the WASP-III computer model in 1985 and since then, it has used this model very extensively. This paper will describe the use of WASP-III in several studies carried out for some Member States, including: the determination of the least-cost plans for Pakistan; the study of the feasibility of a coal-fired generating station in Sri Lanka; the determination of an optimal generation investment programme for Bangladesh; and in reviewing the power sector in India. ADB has also converted WASP-III to operate on a micro-computer and parallel processing is being investigated as a means to decrease running times. In addition, ADB has also incorporated in WASP-III a long-range marginal cost program. These issues, as well as some proposed enhancements to WASP-III will be also discussed in the paper.
