Affordable and clean energy is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) introduced by United Nations that are required to be followed all developed developing countries [...]

The Australian Government is about to release Australia’s first sustainable population policy. Sustainable population growth, among other things, implies sustainable energy demand. Current modelling of future energy demand both in Australia and by agencies such as the International Energy Agency sees population growth as one of the key drivers of energy demand. Simply increasing the demand for ...

The power system is changing towards a decarbonized one. Kyoto protocol and the Paris climate agreement have prompted many nations to approve energy policies based on volatile renewable sources (RESs). However, integration into grid of generated by RESs as well electrification heating, gas transportation sectors becoming huge challenge. Planning industrial tertiary sites net-zero systems (NZESs...

As environmental criteria become more and more important for the energy systems operation and planning, this paper proposes a method that can support the decision makers in future electricity systems planning. The evaluation of future electric power transmission investment plans is based on a social welfare analysis when the external costs of production are internalized. The social benefit can ...

In this paper, real options theory is utilized to evaluate the effect of uncertain electricity and CO2 costs on speculation conduct. Methodologically, the allegiance of the newspaper in this appreciation is that uncertainty is not just stopped down as far as stochastic processes and their fluctuation, additionally as far as expected and acknowledged procedures, i.e. the procedures, w...

Intensified industrialization in developing countries has recently resulted in huge electric power demand growth; however, electricity generation in these countries is still heavily reliant on inefficient and traditional non-renewable technologies. In this paper, we develop an integrated game-theoretic model for effective power systems planning thorough balancing between supply and demand for e...

The pursuit of sustainable large-scale infrastructure systems demands new design tools to exchange information among distributed decision-makers. This paper describes and demonstrates interoperable simulation gaming as a collaborative infrastructure design activity. The Sustainable Infrastructure Planning Game (SIPG) is a prototype implementation using the High Level Architecture (HLA) to excha...
