The human side of energy security

该项目计划制定一个决策制定模型，以指导工业和政策制定者制定更有效的能源决策。管理我们的能源供应，确保获得可靠、负担得起和可持续的能源，对澳大利亚的经济增长和生活质量至关重要。然而，能源安全不断受到供应操纵、基础设施老化和自然灾害的威胁。从经济和工程的角度来看，解决方案只能部分解决这些问题，因为它们忽视了支撑能源安全的关键人为因素。该项目计划使用基于实践的方法来检查能源相关公司和机构，以解释在这些背景下发生的决策和行动如何塑造我们的能源未来。

This project plans to develop a decision enactment model to guide industry and policy makers in producing more effective energy decisions. Managing our energy supply to ensure access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is vital to Australian economic growth and quality of life. However, energy security is continually under threat from manipulation of supply, ageing infrastructure and natural disasters. Solutions from economic and engineering perspectives only partially address these issues because they overlook critical human factors that underpin energy security. The project plans to use a practice-based approach to examine energy-related firms and agencies to explain how decisions and actions that take place within these contexts shape our energy future.
