E-Books →Power System Resource Adequacy for Clean Energy

Comprehensive overview of how to ensure adequate power resources in a decarbonized world powered by renewable energy
Power System Resource Adequacy for Clean Energyexplores and addresses the challenges and solutions associated with ensuring adequate power resources as power grids transition toward a decarbonized and renewable energy future, discussing assumptions, methodologies, modeling frameworks, detailed inputs, and result analysis. The book illustrates the methodology, approaches, and nuances of resource adequacy studies to determine seasonal planning reserve margins as well as resource peak capacity contributions to meet peak demand. The saturation effects of renewable resources and energy-limited resources are highlighted, and importance of resource adequacy verification is emphasized.
Written by an expert with a wealth of real-world experience in the field,Power System Resource Adequacy for Clean Energyincludes information on:
The impact of climate change, seasonal planning reserve margins, multi-metric criteria for resource adequacyWind and solar generation profiles, energy storage and thermal generation modeling, and the flexibility of hydroelectric generationOperating and balancing reserve, effective load carrying capability, saturation effects, and marginal and average ELCCResource adequacy verification, a critical concept in ensuring that the peak demands are truly met by built resources
Power System Resource Adequacy for Clean Energyis an excellent reference on the subject for power system planners, federal and state energy policy makers and commissioners, and professors, researchers, and graduate students in Electrical & Computer Engineering.
