Abstract:
The Security of oil and gas supply and climate change are the most important challenges facing human today. Transportation sector is an important energy consumer sector. The share of transport sector in greenhouse gas emission, which steams from usage of hydro carbons, is considerable. Energy consumption and emission of pollutants in transport sector depend on the efficiency and technical features of transport technologies. Therefore, diffusion of new technologies in to transport sector has significant impact on energy usage and emission of pollutants in energy system. The aim of this project is to evaluate main features of life cycle of transportation technologies. Therefore, we developed a model of energy system to evaluate impact of change in transportation technology on long term development of energy system. This is a cost-effective optimization model based on linear programming that represent flow of energy system. Finally, the impact of traffic congestion on energy system is evaluated.
