Simulating Socio-Technical Transitions of Photovoltaics Using Empirically Based Hybrid Simulation-Optimization Approach

Energy transitions as socio-technical processes involves interactions among different actors such as households, firms, and government, thus requiring an integrated approach to explore the transition’s dynamics. The present study aims to simulate the socio-technical transitions of photovoltaics (PV)...

The present study aims to simulate the socio-technical transitions of photovoltaics (PV) in Indonesia using an empirically based hybrid simulation-optimization model.
