Research on Sustainable Development Mechanism of Renewable Energy Using System Theory

Abstract

The key elements and internal mechanism of renewable energy development are studied on the basis of system theory. 3E system - which consists of energy, environment and economic was used to analyze mechanism of renewable energy development. Two special effect elements of renewable energy: social factors and technical factors were applied to the 3E system. It was first time to create the ST-3E renewable energy system for study. The improved renewable energy system model including the system structure, its characteristics and inherent mechanism was used to study the operation and evolution of renewable energy development. This study will provide more perfect methodology to study the sustainable development of renewable energy and basis to make energy strategies and policies for governments and international agencies.
