Diversifying Uncertain Renewable Generation through the Transmission System
The Institute for Sustainable Energy at Boston University used ENELYTIX to study the value of transmission between markets as a function of renewable generation diversity and uncertainty.
The study found that the benefits of adding transmission depend not only on the geographic diversity of renewables but also on the uncertainty between day-ahead and hour-ahead scheduling and real-time operations.
Transmission To Capture Geographic Diversity of Renewables
The Brattle Group conducted a study on transmission benefits between regions with high renewable penetration. They compared “disjointed” and “interconnected” operations using two identical systems. Enelytix simulated unit commitment and dispatch across day-ahead, hour-ahead, and real-time scenarios, including spinning, regulation, and intra-day commitment option reserves. Cloud-based simulations allowed for extensive analysis of outlier scenarios.
Exploring Natural Gas and Renewables in ERCOT, Part III
The Texas Clean Energy Coalition commissioned a report to examine broad patterns of interaction between natural gas and renewable resources over the next twenty years.
Enelytix simulated market-driven capacity changes and ERCOT system operations down to the intra-hour level. The study combined long and short-term time frames, assuming that as renewable capacity increases, so does the importance of short-term capabilities like ramping capacity and quick start reserves.
