Courses Included
This 2-hour presentation is based on Volume 4 of the National Renewable Energy Laboratories Renewable Electricity Futures Study of 2012, edited by M.M. Hand, G. Porro, T. Mai, M. Meshek and D. Sandor of NREL, J. M. Reilly of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, S. Baldwin of the USDOE, E. DeMeo, Renewable Energy Consulting Services, Inc. and D. Argent of the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis. It covers the effect of large-scale deployment of wind and PV on the utility grid and introduces solutions for dealing with the variability of wind and solar generation. In the 7 years since 2012, excellent progress has occurred in the implementation of the study conclusions, as shown by recent updates to the 2012 material.
