In the traditional generation systems, about two-thirds of energy is wasted and the presence of scattered energy resources such as photo...

Examining the factors affecting changes in energy demand can help economic policymakers to adopt energy saving approaches. One method of examining these factors is factor analysis of energy demand. Given the high share of industry, especially energy-intensive industries in Iran's energy consumption, the purpose of this article is to analyse the factors affecting changes in energy consumption in...

Population growth and industrial development cause the growth in electricity demand. Supply of this energy needs investment for installation of new power stations and more fuel consumption with different consequences. Furthermore, Demand side management is an approach to rationalize and reduce the rate of demand growth. With attention to the cause and effect nature in energy sector, interaction...

Industrial energy demand analysis has always been one of the leading fields of research in economics. This issue is more critical in the case of developing countries especially those with transition experiences. In this paper, third generation of dynamic factor demand models for the Iranian manufacturing industries is estimated to analyze the speed of adjustment in factor demands. Data which is...
