5 Regional Mix Game for Renewable Energy Resources

5.1 Introduction

It is commonly understood that systems (e.g. energy systems) consist of parts. If one is to take these parts as P_i = 1, 2, …, M, once defined, parts may be seen as individual, atomic (indivisible) components that (i) usually come in large numbers (M), (ii) are coupled with each other with a strength that may conveniently be expressed as a generic, coupling “energy,” , and (iii) respond to external stresses (i.e. fields of influences), H with each system part featuring an “energy,” , of the coupling with the fields via a coupling strength, (Gheorghe et al. 2018).

Interestingly, the notion of “part” embraces a virtually unlimited variety of representations. And as an example, for an energy system, parts may include anything such as mines, mills, wells, pipes, power stations, switchyards, transmission lines, distribution facilities, control rooms, dispatch centers, and IT assistance facilities. Moreover, parts can have subassemblies, including fuel cycles, workers, working units, enterprises, companies, regulators, and political pressure entities. At this point, it is necessary to remind the reader that CI ...
