Understanding the dynamics of electricity generation capacity in Canada: A system dynamics approach

Application of system dynamics approach in electricity sector modelling: A review

“…Within these generation technologies, fossil-fuel technologies were preferred mostly. The only exception for the choice of technologies can be seen in the models by Hasani-Marzooni and Hosseini [39] and QudratUllah [40]. The former included wind power whereas the latter used aggregated renewable technologies alongside nuclear power.…”

“…For example, Gary and Larsen [41] focussed on the UK, Ford [42] modelled the USA market, Olsina et al [38] developed a GCE model for Argentina, Qudrat-Ullah [40] for Canada, and Park et al [43] for Korea, to name a few. This trend seemed to be very logical as each country's market has some distinctive characteristics.…”

“…[38], Hasani-Marzooni and Hosseini [39] and Qudrat-Ullah [40]), while others were focussed on a single technology expansion (e.g. Gary and Larsen [41], and Ford [42]).…”

Utilization of System Dynamics in Southern Africa: A Systematic Review

“…In his book, Ford (2010) illustrates the application of system dynamics towards understanding environmental issues. Several authors have utilized it in establishing insights on sustainability and resource management issues, including: water resource management (Winz et al, 2009), energy planning (Naill, 1992;Qudrat-Ullah, 2013), urban planning (Fong et al, 2009) and climate change mitigation (Bassi and Baer, 2009). Recently, with increasingly interrelated multiple global challenges -the financial crisis, oil peak and climate change -system dynamics is recognized as a tool for providing more insight into the transition towards a green economy (UNEP, 2011;Musango et al, 2014a;Musango et al, 2014b).…”

Real-time electricity pricing mechanism in China based on system dynamics

“…Ref. [10] described the complexity and dynamic of the electricity system and approved the effectiveness of SD models in its application of complex systems such as energy systems. In general, the use of SD for pricing research, especially the real-time pricing mechanism, is relatively fragmented and a system of real-time electricity pricing has not been put forward.…”
