How are energy systems modeled in the UAE?
Almansoori and Betancourt-Torcat modeled the electricity system in the UAE, using a stochastic approach to determine the effects of uncertain natural gas prices . Established energy system models have also been used to study energy policies for Kuwait (using TIMES-VEDA) and the UAE (using MARKAL) .
Does Qatar have electricity and water infrastructure?
The electricity and water infrastructure in Qatar currently depends exclusively on integrated water and power plants (IWPPs), which burn natural gas to generate electricity and produce freshwater by thermal desalination of seawater. QESMAT suggests that IWPPs will continue to provide power and water in non-daylight hours (see Fig. 5).
