已经开发了一个模型来模拟能源创新在异质社会网络上的扩散。网络上的节点代表家庭，家庭采用能源创新是基于个人和社会效益的结合;社会效益包括个人的个人社会网络的积极影响和更广泛人群的反馈。本文介绍了模型的发展，将异质参数，从而变得更像一个真实的社会系统。该模型的灵敏度进行了研究，它表明，异质性问题。这对于将真实世界的数据纳入这种类型的模型具有重要意义。© 2014 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.复杂性19：83-94，2014
A model has been developed to simulate the diffusion of energy innovations on a heterogeneous social network. Nodes on a network represent households, whose adoption of an energy innovation is based on a combination of personal and social benefit; social benefit includes the positive influence from an individual's personal social network and feedback from the wider population. This article describes the development of the model to incorporate heterogeneous parameters and, thus, become more like a real social system. The sensitivity of the model is investigated and it is shown that heterogeneity matters. This has important implications for the inclusion of real-world data into this type of model. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 19: 83-94, 2014
