New Resource Adequacy Criteria for the Energy Transition: Modernizing Reliability Requirements

Derek Stenclik

Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

Abstract

This report provides guidance to entities in charge of defining resource adequacy criteria. It lays out a need to move beyond a single-metric criterion to better capture size and duration of risk, to explicitly consider tail risks that have disproportionate damages, and to better link cost and reliability objectives.
