Representation of the solar capacity value in the ReEDS capacity expansion model

摘要: An important emerging issue is the estimation of renewables' contributions to reliably meeting system demand, or their capacity value. While value thermal generation can be estimated easily, assessment wind and solar requires a more nuanced approach due resource variability. Reliability-based methods, particularly, effective load-carrying (ELCC), are considered most robust techniques for addressing this The Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) expansion model other long-term electricity planning models require an estimating CV generalized PV configurations with low computational data requirements. In paper we validate treatment photovoltaic (PV) by ReEDS comparing results literature range energy penetration levels. Results from found compare well both comparisons—despite not being resolved at hourly scale.
