- Content
- Volume 4—discusses operational and institutional challenges of integrating high levels of renewable energy into the electric grid. This volume also provides an overview of today’s electric power system (the grid), including how planning and operations are carried out to ensure reliability. It then explores the challenges to the grid posed by high levels of variable renewable generation and some changes that are expected to occur in response to these challenges. Finally, this volume concludes with a discussion of the capacity expansion and production cost models used in RE Futures and how they represent the operational issues discussed earlier.
