About MAED
The Model for the Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) was developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and evaluates future energy demands (final and useful) based on medium to long term scenarios of socioeconomic, technological, and demographic development. Energy demand is disaggregated into a large number of end-use categories corresponding to different goods and services. MAED can be configured to reflect the economic structure of the sub-national or national case study in question and is designed to simulate demand in the medium and long term for developing economies.
What does it do?
MAED employs a scenario-based bottom-up approach to simulate useful and final energy demand over the medium and long term. The outputs of MAED can be used as inputs to a range of supply optimization models including OSeMOSYS, MESSAGE, TIMES, and LEAP to form a full demand and supply analysis.
What is the scope of the model?
It can be used at a national or sub-national scale, low- or high-income countries, and across the industry, residential, service, and transport sectors.
Who is the target audience?
The model is used extensively in academia and governments across the world
What outcomes can you obtain?
Energy demand across the industry, residential, service, and transport sectors split into demand for fuels/energy carriers (final energy demand) and by end use (useful energy demand).
How can you get started?
Go ahead and download our Modelling User Interface for MAED. The User Interface is an all-in-one application that lets you manage data, run models, and visualize results seamlessly. For training on how to use both the model and the interface, you can take our free, certified course at the Open University here. To download the interface and learn more, please visit this site.
How can you contribute?
MAED’s source code can be found on GitHub open source here. Any contributions from the community are welcome.
