Determination of a composite index to measure the security of electricity supply in Iran

Abstract

Given the dependence of industries and firms and the economy of a country on the continuous supply of energy, it is also important to provide an index and overall measure for evaluating the sustainability and sustainability of energy supply. Investigating the security of electricity supply using a variety of indices has been evaluated and evaluated, depending on the choice of indices and how these indices combine with different interpretations and also an assessment of the stability and security of its provision. It will be for the decision makers and policy makers to adjust to the fluctuations. In this study, using the composite index, it has been attempted to evaluate and measure the security of electricity supply nationwide. In this study, using dependency indices on energy import, energy consumption intensity, gross domestic product per capita, national economy dependence on electricity, Herfindahl-Hirschman index and Shannon Wiener index, as well as weighted average method, combined security index The power supply has been measured. The results for the period 2001 to 2016 show that the overall security of electricity supply in Iran was moderate, but over the past 16 years, the size of the electricity supply has been moderately reduced
