In this paper, we have presented the linear programming model of 95 energy production systems in Pakistan. An improved multiverse optimizer is implemented to generate a dataset of 100000 different solutions, which are suggesting to fulfill the overall demand of energy in the country ranging from 9587 MW to 27208 MW. We found that, if some of the power-generating systems are down due to some technical problems, still we can get our demand by following another solution from the dataset, which is partially utilizing the particular faulty power system.

  • Demand-Supply Gap Analysis and Potential Energy Resources of Punjab Abstract
    DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP ANALYSIS AND POTENTIAL ENERGY RESOURCES OF PUNJAB ABSTRACT Pakistan has been facing severe electricity shortfall since 2007. Having more than 100 million population and economic hub of the country, Punjab province hurts badly from this crisis. The most wanted challenge has been met through investment in power sector especially through CPEC to fulfil the demand without suppress. Large reliance of the power sector on fossil fuels results in high energy prices which then results in economic downturn due to increased cost of production and decreased competitiveness. The economic hub of the country, that is, the Punjab province has been injured the most. It thus calls for attention of the public policy makers to explore the potential of indigenous resources of energy at both federal and provincial tiers of government. The study analyzes the demand-supply gap and potential of energy resources. It is revealed that the province is enriched with solar resources which can be tapped to generate on- grid and off-grid electricity for supplying power to the public at large. Proportion of coal in energy mix needs to be enhanced through utilizing both indigenous and imported coal. The province is blessed with network of canals, barrages watered by five rivers. This potential is available to produce electricity through deploying small power plants at canals and barrages. Wind pressure in the province is not capable enough to produce electricity except small potential in southeastern and Kalar Kahar regions. Keywords: Fossil Fuels, Indigenous Resources, Energy Mix, Off Grid Electricity 1. INTRODUCTION1 Economies around the globe are facing high demand of energy to achieve sustained level of economic growth.

    Comments on the not. As roughly 20,000 MW of additional generating capacity is to be added to the system (and about 30,000 MW National Power Policy 2013 if the NTDC planners are to be believed) in the next five years, there is a requirement to tap all resources for it- By including the manufacturing and production facilities in Engr. Tahir Basharat Cheema, President, IEEEP Pakistan and so on. On the other hand, it would be extremely sad to see all the generating equipment being simply imported, while in-country contribution remains The very fact that the present government has crafted a restricted to bricks and mortar only. Besides, the local national power policy after it assumed charge of the industry and business should also benefit from the activity country, speaks well about its intentions. Moreover, even if and this all has to be built in a viable policy. Energy the detractors of the policy poke holes in the document, still autarchy is another issue that merits consideration. the issuance of the policy is welcome.
