THE GENI MODEL - THE INTERCONNECTION OF GLOBAL POWER RESOURCES TO OBTAIN AN OPTIMAL GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTION

The Global Energy Network International (GENI) model quantifies the ec onomic, environmental, and social benefits of developing remote renewa ble energy sources and linking them to population centers via long dis tance electrical transmission lines. The model investigates an optimal sustainable global energy solution by comparing the GENI alternative to those alternatives presented by the World Energy Council (WEC) and others. This paper describes the work in progress accomplished by the GENI organization. The correlation between electricity and quality of life indicators is presented. Abbreviated problem and project definiti ons are presented.
