Robust Procurement Planning for Community Choice Aggregators: Managing Market Price Uncertainty
Manar Jaradat, James Himelic, Neha Patankar
Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) play an important role in the energy transition by procuring renewable electricity for local communities while balancing affordability, resource…
Uncertainty-Aware Grid Planning in the Real World: A Method Enabling Large-Scale, Two-Stage Adaptive Robust Optimization for Capacity Expansion Planning
Gabriel Mantegna, Emil Dimanchev, Filippo Pecci +2
Capacity expansion models are frequently used to inform multi-billion dollar grid infrastructure decisions, a context in which there is significant uncertainty surrounding the futu…
Reducing transmission expansion by co-optimizing sizing of wind, solar, storage and grid connection capacity
Aneesha Manocha, Gabriel Mantegna, Neha Patankar +1
Expanding transmission capacity is likely a bottleneck that will restrict variable renewable energy (VRE) deployment required to achieve ambitious emission reduction goals. Interco…
Establishing best practices for modeling long duration energy storage in deeply decarbonized energy systems
Gabriel Mantegna, Wilson Ricks, Aneesha Manocha +3
Long duration energy storage (LDES) may become a critical technology for the decarbonization of the power sector, as current commercially available Li-ion battery storage technolog…
Understanding the Role and Design Space of Demand Sinks in Low-carbon Power Systems
Sam van der Jagt, Neha Patankar, Jesse Jenkins
As the availability of weather-dependent, zero marginal cost resources such as wind and solar power increases, a variety of flexible electricity loads, or `demand sinks', could be…
Reducing transmission expansion by co-optimizing sizing of wind, solar, storage and grid connection capacity
Aneesha Manocha, Neha Patankar, Jesse D. Jenkins
Expanding transmission capacity is likely a bottleneck that will restrict variable renewable energy (VRE) deployment required to achieve ambitious emission reduction goals. Grid in…
Land Use Trade-offs in Decarbonization of Electricity Generation in the American West
Neha Patankar, Xiili Sarkela-Basset, Greg Schivley +2
Land-use conflicts may constrain the unprecedented rates of renewable energy deployment required to meet the decarbonization goals of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This paper…
