A suggestion for energy policy planning system dynamics

Abstract

The system dynamics approach was developed by Jay Forrester from MIT during 1950s to analyze the complex behavior in administration with computer simulation in social sciences. System dynamics is a form of systems approach as a methodology to understand the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of system dynamics is to understand how system structures cause system behavior and system events. System thinking and system dynamics provide computer technology and conceptual and numerical modeling techniques that could help explain the dynamics and forces underlying the complexity and change in business, politics, socio-economic, and environmental systems. System dynamics, policy analysis, and design are used for learning and decision making.
