Client: National Iranian Gas Company

Director project: Professor Majid Amidpour
Project type: Feasibility/Simulation study
Project collaborator: K.N. Toosi University of Technology (KNTU)
Summary of project:
In this study, after a quick look at the basic concepts of energy, the state of consumption of energy carriers in households and in particular the state of consumption of energy carriers in the villages of the country has been examined. After calculating the per capita of rural population, the electric equivalents of household consumptions were determined and then, by examining the current per capita consumption of electricity and current power of the Ministry of Energy, the priority has been selected to replace the oil products with electricity. Then, the effects of this practice have been evaluated from the viewpoint of the involved enterprises (ministry of energy, oil, households and producer factories). Finally, the only heating and cooking energy supply in the rural part of four provinces of Khuzestan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan, due to the strong transmission and distribution capacity against strong loads, as well as the low heating rate of these provinces compared with other provinces, were identified as the villages of selected provinces. On the other hand, in order to prioritize gas supplies to villages in different climates (separate from the provinces), a more basic and logical framework based on economic calculations and considering the opportunity cost and actual prices was used. Extraction of indices such as domestic and actual price of consumption basket of petroleum products for households by segregating the villages of the provinces, the ratio of the intensity of rural to urban gas consumption, and the rate of intensity change of the consumption of natural gas into the products after the replacement, strengthened the methodology framework and also enhanced the accuracy of outputs. Finally, from a national perspective, villages in each province, based on households and distances from natural gas sources, were prioritized and a specific and applicable framework was provided in each province.
