BPA Study of Smart Grid Economics Identifies Attractive Opportunities and Key Uncertainties
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Navigant Consulting recently released a white paper 1 documenting the interim results of an economic assessment for smart grid technologies in the Pacific Northwest. The study, called the Regional Business Case (RBC), is the first bottom-up assessment to account for the interactions of various technologies and quantify the uncertainties and risks of regional smart grid investments. BPA initiated the RBC study to understand how smart grid technologies might help mitigate the costs associated with greater demand on the grid infrastructure, such as integrating intermittent renewable generation and accommodating regional growth.
