Applications of system dynamics in the electrical sector

Abstract

The System Dynamics is a modeling tool that allows to represent and to understand the dynamic behavior of complex systems, presenting the linear and nonlinear relations between the variables. The dynamics of a system is generated by the feedback of information among the variables that compose it, over time this feedback can change the behavior of the system. Despite being widely used in the electrical sector, the System Dynamics tool is still little known by researchers in the sector, so the present work aims to present some applications of this technique in order to increase knowledge about this tool.
