This volume is part of a series which focuses on solving the scientific and engineering problems involved in the organization and development of fuel-power equipment, electric power systems and systems of piping (gas, oil and heat supply).

In this volume, Bashmakov and Beschinsky describe and analyze forecasts of the scale and structure of global energy consumption, the share of different primary energy resources, the scale of international trade in these resources and the dynamics of oil prices.

The forecasts are presented in an international context, enabling Soviet and foreign views on world energy developments to be compared.

Sher reviews the history of Soviet mathematical modelling for the energy industry as a whole and for its subsystems.

The main emphasis is on the procedural principles of modelling and the creation of modelling software.
