Description
Canadian Renewable Electricity Storage and Transmission Model
- Applications
optimization of type, size and location of electrical generating technologies to satisfy load and reliability criteria, optimizing transmission network expansion, minimizing total system costs, load forecasting
- Users
utilities, system planners
- Key Inputs
extant generation and transmission, capital and operating costs, electrical energy demand, electricity generation costs, wind and solar data with spatial detail
- Key Outputs
Investment and operational costs, system costs and related metrics of differing scenarios for substantially decarbonizing the Canadian electricity system at minimum cost, GHG emissions.
Optimal (lowest-cost) capacity expansion generation portfolios.
