    • Energy Demand Projections with MAED

      Welcome to this e-learning course on MAED, the Model for Analysis of Energy Demand. This course will teach you how to use the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) modelling tool called the Model for Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) for demand projections.  In particular, you will learn about the two components of MAED: 

      MAED-D which evaluates future energy demands based on medium- to long-term scenarios of socio-economic, technological and demographic developments, and MAED-E.L. forecasts hourly electric power demand for each client, sector, and the entire system based on the input data. 

      In the process, you will learn about energy balances and energy systems in general, assisting them in energy system planning.

      This is the November 2023 presentation of the course.

      This is an interesting course. The course's content will help solve the problem of undersized and oversized mini-grids installed all over the country.
