Understanding the dynamics of electricity supply, resources and pollution: Pakistan's case

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

“…Unlike Elias [37] who relied on focussed groups, this study used secondary data to highlight the problem through various CLDs. On the contrary to Qudrat-Ullah and Davidsen [23], Cimren et al [30] and Saysel and…”

“…These models investigated support policy for private investors [23,24]; policies for power market deregulation [25,26,27]; cross-border trading of electricity [28,29]; comparing policies to promote renewable power sources reducing dependency on fossil fuels [30,31,32,33], and environmental savings [34].…”

“…the payback period of investments, and the household monthly income extended the classical Bass model. Unlike Qudrat-Ullah and Davidsen [23], the driver of increasing demand was not made explicit. The model pivoted on calculating the payback period for investment decision which was then used in macro-level setting to highlight the PV adoption process.…”

“…[23,24,34]). Though the findings were very useful for future policy development, the lack of feedback between capacity expansion plan and cost of technology made the model to be less dynamic.…”

“…Unlike Qudrat-Ullah and Davidsen [23] and Qudrat-Ullah and Karakul [24], REFELECTe used IF-THEN-ELSE statements for choosing between various generation technologies being modelled. This approach, though simple and less computational, served the purpose effectively.…”
