Abstract

Using a multi-objective linear planning model, this study investigates the optimal allocation of the country's energy resources to the various sectors of home, business, transportation, industry, agriculture, export, injection to oil reservoirs and power plants as secondary energy producers. Political, economic and environmental goals have also been taken into account. Data from 1346 to 1387 have been used to predict energy demand in different consumption segments and validate the model. Also, according to the targeted subsidies plan, the allocation of oil and gas resources to different sectors of consumption during 2011-2011 has been investigated. The results of this study provide suitable strategies for planners and decision makers to plan appropriately for optimal allocation of energy resources of the country.
