Energy Demand Analysis at a Disaggregated Level

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy Economics

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to consider energy demand at the fuel level or at the sector level. Each sector or fuel has its specific features that an aggregated analysis cannot capture. A disaggregated analysis also requires more detailed information. This chapter first presents the disaggregation of energy demand, discusses the information issues and introduces frameworks/tools for a disaggregated analysis.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is a simplified version based on Ussanarassamee and Bhattacharyya (2005). Please see the original work for a more detailed exposition.

  2. 2.

    This is based on Miklius et al. (1986).

  3. 3.

    HDD is used in relation to any analysis of the heating requirement whereas CDD is used to that for cooling. Both of them are calculated with respect to a base temperature. For example, in the UK, the commonly used base temperature is 15.5°C. HDD indicates how many days within a period had temperatures below the base level whereas CDD indicates for how many days the temperature was above the base level, thereby requiring cooling.

  4. 4.

    See Ryan and Plourde (2009) for more details on this.
