ADICA Conducts Training on Energy System Planning for Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS)
Fourteen staff of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and one from the Ministry of Petroleum were trained on how to apply the Energy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP) software for conducting energy and environmental analyses with a focus on modeling the use of natural gas in Egypt.
ENPEP is the premier energy system analysis software used to analyze priority energy and environmental issues in over 80 countries. The most recent version of the program, called ENPEP for Windows, employs a market-based simulation approach to determine the response of various segments of the energy system to changes in energy policy, prices and demand levels. The course participants were also guided through the development of an ENPEP Reference Case using country specific data from Egypt. Sample representations of the Oil and Transport sectors in Egypt are displayed below:
The ENPEP Reference Case traces the quantity and price of energy from resource extraction, through processing and conversion, to meet end-use demand. The sectors represented include: Supply for Natural Gas, Oil and Renewable Energy; Transport of Fuels; Electricity Generation; Electricity Transmission and Distribution; as well as, Industrial, Transportation and Residential & Services Demand. Other aspects of the ENPEP Reference Case for Egypt include the following:
- With information provided by the Ministry of Petroleum, the course participants represented the quantity and price of refined oil products produced in the country together with the level of fuel subsidies for different categories of consumers.
- Using information contained in the Annual Report of the Egyptian Electric Holding Company, the course participants prepared a detailed representation of the electricity sector with more than 160 individual power plants.
- Using information contained in a national transportation study, the course participants represented useful energy demand for Intercity Passenger Transportation in order to analyze the potential for increased use of CNG vehicles.
