Synergies between offshore wind and natural gas
In this white paper, the authors evaluate the reliability interactions between offshore wind and natural gas using probabilistic resource adequacy modeling,...
CRA’s Energy Practice helps ISOs and RTOs evaluate whether evolving power systems have the resources and capabilities necessary to maintain reliability across a wide range of future conditions.
Changes in resource mix, load growth, weather patterns, generator performance, storage deployment, and load flexibility are challenging traditional approaches to resource adequacy. CRA combines probabilistic reliability analysis, market modeling, and economic expertise to help clients evaluate these risks and develop appropriate planning and market frameworks.
Our work addresses not only how much capacity a system requires, but also the location, availability, operating characteristics, and performance of resources during the conditions in which they are most needed.
Our services include:
- Resource adequacy assessments
- Loss-of-load and probabilistic reliability analysis
- Capacity requirement and reserve-margin analysis
- Capacity accreditation and ELCC
- Resource performance and availability analysis
- Extreme-weather and correlated-outage analysis
- Storage and renewable-resource reliability analysis
- Load flexibility and demand-response assessment
- Capacity-market and resource-adequacy framework design
- Scenario and sensitivity analysis
- Reliability risk and economic tradeoff analysis
