Presenting a Dynamic Model of Iran's Electrical Energy Supply System Based on the Water-Food-Energy-Climate Change Nexus
Journal Title: System Engineering and Productivity - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The supply of electrical energy is of great importance since energy consumption and production are affected and influential on the process of climate change. The water, energy-food nexus can also be a guideline for policy-making for the country's future sustainable development. The main goal of the research is to present a model of electrical energy supply based on the water-food-energy-climate change nexus. The methodology of the research is based on the stages of the system dynamics approach to modeling, and the model is implemented by software to describe events and consequences. The research data is collected based on organizational documents, including the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, the Statistical Center of Iran, the National Meteorological Organization, and the Iranian Water Resources Management Organization. The model is designed based on data from (1390-1400) in the Vanisim software and simulated in the horizon (1430-1400). Based on the implementation of the selected policy combination in the model, the following solutions will lead to ensuring electrical energy security based on the water-food-energy-climate change nexus: 16% expansion of nuclear power plants, 18% reduction in the ratio of gas power plants to total non-renewable power plant production, and increasing combined cycle power plant production by converting gas to combined cycle, energy integration and development of heat recovery systems in industrial units by 32%, 5% reduction in energy transmission and distribution losses, reduction in per capita energy consumption and reaching the global average, water demand management in the food sector by increasing irrigation efficiency by about 85%, 27% increase in the area of land under irrigation, and reduction in food losses by a global average of 0.9 million tons.
