We apply a detailed power sector model to explore the near-term role of woody biomass co-
firing at existing coal facilities in the Eastern US in the decarbonization of US electricity …

There is growing concern that progress toward reaching the carbon dioxide (CO 2) targets
set forth in the Paris Agreement is falling short of the mark, and efforts to decarbonize the …

Network reduction is an effective tool for reducing the complexity of many analysis, design,
and optimization problems. However, many of the conventional reduction methods, such as …

Power generation from biomass (biopower) has experienced substantial growth in the
United States. Although renewable and sustainably sourced biopower can reduce the …

Reduced order models of dc networks using Ward, REI, and bus-aggregation approaches
have been used to advantage for some time. Proposed in this paper is an optimization …

We use a detailed power sector model, E4ST, to project multi-decade effects of preventing a
set of unprofitable generators from retiring. We simulate the “Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule” …

If one jurisdiction regulates power plant emissions with a cap-and-trade (mass) program and
another with an intensity (rate) standard, is it a good idea for them to link? Specifically, what …

Economic studies in power systems have gained more importance post deregulation. The
number of generators participating in the power market have significantly increased over the …

Historically, investment in power system infrastructure has been modeled from the
perspective of individual utilities or a central planner, with limited consideration of the …

As the proportion of distributed power generation in the power grid increases, the power grid
system analysis has become complicated. The equivalent of power grids is very effective in …
