Yuspin O. Approaches for Ukrainian energy system’s structure optimization within the context of economic security

Ph.D. The thesis is devoted to research of methodological approaches determination problems for Ukrainian energy system’s structure optimization within the context of economic security. Foreign states experience in the field of energy security policy elaboration and realization is explored, trends of Ukrainian energy system’s industrial and regional structures development are analyzed, quantitative coefficients, which characterize the state and regional energy security levels, are calculated. On the basis of research conducted the need to use economic-mathematical modeling systems in the process of optimal energy system’s structure determination is substantiated. Based on this model’s mathematical apparatus propositions to modify it with the purpose of adequate consideration of energy security requirements and respective model correlations are developed. Methodological approaches proposed are examined in the case study for most critical in the sense of energy security Ukrainian region and proved to bepractically useful.
