Abstract

Electrical energy is unique because it must sustain a consistent production and consumption balance. This guarantees that the "generation-transmission-distribution-consumption-storage" electric power supply chain (EPSC) continues to be connected and inseparable through the power system's complete operation. This paper is a type of secondary study. According to the nature of the article which is qualitative, the grounded theory (GT) method for reviewing the literature has been used. A systematic review of existing literature is carried out over 12 years (2010-2022) by classifying it based on several dimensions such as phase sources of production, the total fixed cost of the real variable, and criteria of decision-making and emissions. The literature is further divided into categories based on the year of publication and the journals in which it was published. The study shows a direction for future studies in the electric power domain of the supply chain while utilizing an operations strategy approach.

Keywords: Criteria of decision-making; Electric power supply chain (EPSC); Emissions; Grounded theory; Literature review; Power generation.
