MOPCA is composed of two parts. The first part compares and assesses comprehensively the different development options of the power system (decision making analysis). It uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for comparing and ranking different development options. The second part is a simulation model of the power system producing options for power system development planning with constraints regarding financing, resources and environment. In part 1 the most important aspects of the power system such as energy-independence, economic aspects, system reliability, environmental and ecological impacts as well as social impacts are taken into account. In part 2 macro-economic analysis, power system analysis and environmental burdens analysis are carried out for the purpose of power system development planning. The two parts of MOPCA can be used separately. The model is designed to serve small countries, especially developing countries, and regions of large countries like the provinces of China (e.g. Fujian Province).
