A brief introduction of the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) is available on the Assumptions page. A more detailed overview is provided below in the report: The National Energy Modeling System: An Overview.
NEMS consists of 13 modules: 4 supply modules (Oil and Gas Supply, Natural Gas Market, Coal Market, and Renewable Fuels); 2 conversion modules (Electricity Markets and Liquid Fuels Markets (that is, refineries); 4 demand modules (Residential Demand, Commercial Demand, Transportation Sector, and Industrial Demand); 1 module to simulate energy/economy interactions (Macroeconomic Activity); 1 to simulate world/domestic liquids interactions (International Energy); and 1 module that provides the mechanism to achieve a general market equilibrium among all the modules (Integrating).
