There are too many factors that affect on energy consumption in a system. It is very difficult to study these effects simultaneously. Energy modeling can help us to solve this problem.
Energy-modeling is the virtual or computerized simulation of a system that focuses on energy user, utility bills and life cycle costs of various energy-related items. It is also used to evaluate the payback of green energy solutions like solar panels and photovoltaic, wind turbines and high-efficiency appliances. To understand energy modeling, it’s important to understand system simulation.
