WEFSiM: A Model for Water–Energy–Food Nexus Simulation and Optimization

A Water-Energy-Food Nexus Simulation Model (WEFSiM) is proposed to quantify the nation-wide resources sustainability. WEFSiM considers the feedback connections between water, energy, and food sectors in a single framework. The optimization module provides more alternatives for resource management planning. The effect of a new energy plan in South Korea (Energy 2030) is simulated in a nexus perspective.
