In this paper, the authors utilize nodal price data at each thermal-generation facility within the ERCOT footprint between 2014 and 2016 to revisit an empirical question of great interest to various parties: how does wind integration affect the wholesale energy price? We find that for every additional 1000 MW of wind generation in a Real-Time 15-minute Settlement Interval, nodal prices at non-wind resources would be suppressed by $1.45/MWh to $4.45/MWh, with considerable heterogeneity across time and space.
EVs and the grid—it’s all about give and take
In this article published in Automotive World, Robert Stocker dives into the crucial relationship between electric vehicles (EVs) and the electrical grid,...
