Integrated model for analyzing industrial energy potential

Abstract

Various studies have proved integrated models to analyze better than single models in the dynamics of energy variables quantification. The present study is a developed integrated Index Decomposition Analyses (IDA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Data Envelopment Analyses (DEA). This model quantifies the industrial sector's possible energy potentials. The considered variables of the study include activity, structure and intensity. Presentation of results to various applications of the model is expressed in this study.
