TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system dynamics model to examine the effect of the diffusion of photovoltaic technology on the revenues of utilities and customers, and conclude that it is possible under certain conditions to attain a balance between social welfare and the aversion of the utility death spiral through systemic interventions.

TL;DR: In this article, a simulation model was used to analyse a scenario with 100% renewable energy supply in Costa Rica, Paraguay and Iceland, where a large hydroelectric component and its complementarity with solar and wind reduce prices and increase energy efficiency, while helping security of supply.

TL;DR: In this article, a fairly detailed and integrated supply and demand-based system dynamics model has been built to quantify the extent of their potential impact; the model disaggregates the household sector, which may generate a significant part of its electricity using rooftop solar energy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that effectively achieving the GB EMR objectives requires this comprehensive intervention or a similar one that includes the promotion of low carbon electricity generation through the simultaneous implementation of various direct and indirect incentives, such as a carbon price floor, a Feed in Tariff (FIT) and a capacity mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, the long-term effects of feed-in tariff reductions on household's PV adoption, utilities and solar companies were investigated by considering a system approach. But, the authors found that the market would still have potential for solar energy-related technology growth in the UK.
