Noncooperative game approach for public participation and resource supply in electric generating system development

A two-level multifollower Stackelberg game model for electric generating system development and efficient resource utilization is developed. It is assumed that exist plural public groups with different social siting concerns. Interperiod balances in electric generating capacity and resource supply are first investigated. Several fundamental factors such as electric supply, siting concern, and electric cost are then evaluated, where the social negative preference plays the basic role. The integrated problem of resource supply, electric generating system development, and public participation is then formulated as a two-level multifollower Stackelberg game, in which electric generating system development with public participation is investigated at the second level under the first-level resource supply strategy. The model evaluates interactions between the electric supply, resource supply, and social siting concern. Simulation analyses are presented to show the characteristics and effectiveness of the model
