Abstract
Electricity systems are currently expanding towards more efficient forms of production. Several expansionary strategies are being developed to cover increases in future electricity demand. Goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the efficiency of operations, and achieving more equitable participation of the actors in charge of the investments are set. Following this premise, this paper presents a multi-objective model that helps in decision-making on the problem of expanding electricity generation. The model considers more realistic views than other works in the literature. The vast majority of the stakeholders in the studied field are satisfied with the present proposal. Investment costs, greenhouse emissions, and investment contribution rates are considered. Also, the actual procedures of the generation and transmission stages are rigorously studied. This means obtaining solutions that are closer to reality. The case study is the electricity system of Argentina. The results obtained indicate that the recommended solutions are the most convenient from all points of view. They constitute a mix of the generation with renewable and non-renewable technologies. The case study reveals emission reductions of up to 25% and it can be achieved that the most vulnerable social groups do not have to finance future system expansions.
期刊介绍:
Management Science Letters is a peer reviewed, monthly publication dedicated to create a forum for scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in the field of management skills in the form of original, high quality and value added articles. The journal''s policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and the papers will be appeared in a form of online on our website as soon as the review result becomes positive. The journal covers both empirical and theoretical aspects of management and gives the chance on sharing knowledge among practitioners. Management Science Letters is dedicated for publishing in the following areas: • Quality Management • Production Management (Scheduling, Production management, etc.) • Total Quality Management (TQM) • Six Sigma • Production Efficiency • Just in Time Inventory • Data Envelopment Analysis • Balanced Score Card • Activity Based Cost (ABC) • Technology Acceptance Model • Marketing planning and Customer Relationship Management • Critical Success Factors • e-learning • Customer satisfaction, Job satisfaction, Job turnover, • Organizational commitment, Employee Commitment • Knowledge Management • Knowledge sharing • Human Resources Management (Employee training, Employee Performance, Work achievements,) • Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) issues and Economic development • Innovation, Creativity, Productivity and Performance • Multi-Criteria Decision Making Applications in Management Science (AHP, BWM, TOPSIS, …) • Education Management, Social development, Public Policy • Tourism Industry, Tourism promotion, Tourism directorates • Business performance and financial performance
