An investigation on effective factors of energy demand utilized in sustainable development planning

Energy supply was one of the most important concerns of mankind Throughout history that recently is done more consciously. Proper planning to supply energy is from the goals of every society. The introduction of proper planning is the existence of a realistic view of the future. In the energy sector, there is also a view of the future in terms of demand for energy as well as the status of available resources. In this paper, the demand for energy in different sectors of consumption is investigated to achieve an accurate and reliable view of the future. The energy consuming sectors can be defined as agricultural, transportation, industrial, thermal and finally the electrical power generation sector. To do so, articles on similar topics case study of Iran and other countries were studied to compare the factors that have been considered to achieve a suitable model for energy demand in the country of Iran. Using the future horizon of consumption, which the model shows, make us be able to plan sustainable development and implement the amount of energy needed using renewable energy sources.
