Strategic Electric Sector Assessment Methodology under Sustainability Conditions (SESAMS) Coordinating Technological and Policy Responses to Sustainability and Competition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The identification, design and implementation of “sustainable energy systems” is a key element towards successfully approaching “sustainable development.” SESAMS seeks to develop the fundamental strategic analytic capabilities necessary to identify the sustainable production and use of electricity over the next several decades, primarily via the integration of existing and innovative models and analytic approaches as well as those currently under development. In addition to the integration of the requisite models, existing and newly developed databases, performance attributes relevant to sustainable energy production and use will also be developed and refined.
