Abstract :
Energy models are powerful tools for studying energy problems. A model that represents an end-user group very accurately, can be very complicated. The purpose of this paper is to show how energy conversion models that represent end-user groups in a deep level mine with an acceptable accuracy, without being too complicated or seating unacceptable errors, are created. Simplifying assumptions are made to reduce the complexity of the end-user group´s model, to enable the energy engineer to solve problems with a pocket calculator. The models must be useful to an energy engineer who has to calibrate the energy consumption of an end-user group without the use of simulation packages
