This Stock and Flow model describes the charging of a 12 Volt, 120 Ampere hour battery using a solar panel using hourly solar irradiation data for New Brunswick, NJ on February 3rd, 2018.For simplicity, the battery charger has full efficiency and the electric loads are shown in DC Amperes.All flows are in Amperes and the Battery stock is in Ampere Hours.

Goal-seeking loop for situations in which the goal is lower than the current state results in an exponential decay behavior.

Exponential Decay

Gene Bellinger

Overview

A model which simulates the competition between logging versus adventure tourism (mountain bike ridding) in Derby Tasmania. Simulation borrowed from the Easter Island simulation.

How the model works.

Trees grow, we cut them down because of demand for Timber amd sell the logs.

With mountain bkie visits. This depends on past experience and recommendations. Past experience and recommendations depends on Scenery number of trees compared to visitor and Adventure number of trees and users. Park capacity limits the number of users.

Interesting insights

It seems that high logging does not deter mountain biking. By reducing park capacity, visitor experience and numbers are improved. A major problem is that any success with the mountain bike park leads to an explosion in visitor numbers. Also a high price of timber is needed to balance popularity of the park. It seems also that only a narrow corridor is needed for mountain biking

The limits to growth structure is based on the basic growth structure. And, as should be obvious, nothing grows forever as growth requires resources. Those required resources become a limits to growth. See also Archetypes.
