Abstract
The latest years evolution in the financial and economic world have proven one more time that the models used to describe behavior of given systems should be extended and the approach on which they are based should change from linear to nonlinear. A number of such models are described in the paper with a synthesis of the main features of nonlinear behavior and a case example is presented on how to describe in order to be able to predict the discontinuous decision associated with the financial crises and with the technological evolution of energy systems. Suggestions are made on the need to control crises not to eliminate them if one wants to better adapt to a nonlinear world dynamic and on the optimal scenarios for the penetration of ALFRED and fuel cell technologies for energy production.
