Designing a Multi-Objective Linear Programming Model for Optimal Allocation of Iran Energy Resources

This research defines the optimal allocation of energy resources of Iran to different sectors using a multi-objective linear programming. Sectors are residential and commercial,transportation, industries, agriculture, exports, injection to oil reservoirs and power plans as a secondary energy producer.In this paper, the energy allocation process is looked at from three points of view: policy, economy and environment. Actual data of Iran from 1967 to 2008 have been used to forecast and investigate validity of the model. Regarding lifting of subsidies energy resources allocation to end-uses from 2011 to 2021 has been defined and analyzed. The results provide scientific basic for the optimal allocation of energy resources in Iran.
