Renewable energy program, mathematical model, energy planning
The objective of this study is to develop an optimal renewable energy mathematical (OREM) model for the effective utilization of renewable energy sources in a developing country like India for the year 2020–2021. The model is developed with the objective of minimizing cost/efficiency ratio based on social acceptance, reliability, demand and potential constraints. The formulation of social acceptance and reliability constraints in the model is discussed. The model predicts that approximately 25% of the total energy consumed will be from renewable energy sources by the year 2020–2021. The present model will facilitate the policy makers in the formulation of renewable energy planning.
