Comprehensive Long Term Modeling of the Dynamics of Investment and Growth in Electric Power Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses our recent research on the interplay between the economic, technical, social and environmental factors that influence the production, transmission and consumption of electric energy. We are developing computer models of these interactions suitable for use by both policy makers and researchers. The main effort is focused on the development of simulation models, which extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Such models will enable us to simulate short-term behavior, such as, electricity prices and congestion in the near term, and long-term behavior, such as, investment in new generation and transmission. Our emphasis in this report is on models for tradeable green certificates, transmission network models in system dynamic studies and our benchmark systems for the Western US and West African electric power systems.
