“…The relative size and complexity of the CPAM models prohibits a thorough description in this article. Our brief description only serves as an overview, and the interested reader is referred to other articles and reports for more information Bull and Barton 1986;Ford and Geinzer 1986;Ford and Nail1 1985).…”

“…For further information on CPAM applications conducted mainly by researchers, the reader is referred to the first regionalized analysis of conservation policies (Ford and Nail1 1985). A recent report is available to explain applications of the subregional model (Ford and Geinzer 1986). Currently, our research is focused on how one might gain a better understanding of uncertainty in the Pacific Northwest electric system.…”

“…And finally, Figure 4 compares the blitz results with results for a so-called "balanced programs" strategy. This second, hypothetical policy is characteristic of policies that deliver a smaller amount of savings occurring more slowly over time and at lower cost per net kw saved to the utility [Ford and Geinzer 1986).…”

“…Several features that make CPAM useful in supporting policy studies are explained in detail elsewhere (Ford and Geinzer 1986). These include the ability to show realistic, dynamic behavior of several important figures of merit, to avoid doublecounting of conservation, and to provide an integrated representation of the region's electric system.…”

The Bonneville Power Administration uses system dynamics to assist in its analysis of conservation policies for the Pacific Northwest electric system. This article describes the system dynamics models—the Conservation Policy Analysis Models—and explains why they are useful. After briefly describing model design and assumptions, the article gives examples of model application. One example involves simulation studies of a hypothetical policy by contractors. The second example involves Bonneville's own study of policies under consideration in the 1986 resource strategy. Key features that have made the models useful at Bonneville are noted.

System dynamics has been used extensively to aid in resource planning in the electric power industry. The many applications constitute a major body of work that has proven useful to large and small power companies as well as to government agencies at the local, state and federal level. The work has been performed by utility analysts, government planners, consultants and academics. One of my recent publications on electric power was honored with the 1996 Jay Wright Forrester Award. This article documents the major points in my award address to the 1996 International System Dynamics Conference. It summarizes the impressive body of work that system dynamics practitioners have accumulated over the past several decades. It gives my interpretation of the important and unique features of the system dynamics approach. I argue also that we have contributed to useful change in the electric power industry. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
