Low-Carbon Transition Pathway Planning of Regional Power Systems with Electricity-Hydrogen Synergy

Evidence from International Low-carbon Electricity Systems

This paper presents analysis on those countries that generate more than 70% of their electricity from low-carbon sources, with a focus on how investment in low-carbon electricity capacity in these countries was delivered.

Assessing “Gas Transition” pathways to low carbon electricity

Coordinated Planning and Scheduling of Electricity and Natural Gas Systems

In this paper we propose a model for coordinated planning of power and natural gas systems, as a part of electricity supply chain. This model takes into account costs and constraints of both systems, and with hiring simplifications and linearization methods transforms initially nonlinear formulation to a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. Natural gas would be assumed steady state,...

A Game Theoretic Approach for Sustainable Power Systems Planning in Transition

Intensified industrialization in developing countries has recently resulted in huge electric power demand growth; however, electricity generation in these countries is still heavily reliant on inefficient and traditional non-renewable technologies. In this paper, we develop an integrated game-theoretic model for effective power systems planning thorough balancing between supply and demand for e...

SunShot solar power reduces costs and uncertainty in future low-carbon electricity systems.

The United States Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative has set cost-reduction targets of $1/watt for central-station solar technologies. We use SWITCH, a high-resolution electricity system planning model, to study the implications of achieving these targets for technology deployment and electricity costs in western North America, focusing on scenarios limiting carbon emissions to 80% below...
