Abstract
Concerning the growing demand for electricity, the inability of governments to provide the necessary resources to invest in the electricity industry as well as increased prices of fossil fuels, a tendency has increased towards the issues of the economy of power systems. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of integrating power systems in countries bordering Iran using data of 2000-2011. To do this, the dynamic behavior of two scenarios was assessed up to 2030 using Vansim Simulation Software. Results of comparing two scenarios of self-sufficiency and free market revealed that creating an integrated market in the studied region resulted in decreased electricity price due to decreased capacity costs
