Impact of High Solar Penetration in the Western Interconnection

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the variable characteristics of solar power, as well as the accompanying grid dynamic performance and operational economics for a system with significant solar generation. The paper will show results of economic operational simulations of a very high solar generation future for the western half of the United States.
