As electricity systems integrate increasing penetrations of variable renewable energy,
system operators are seeking technologies and strategies that increase their system's …

Meeting the last increment of demand always poses challenges, irrespective of whether the
resources used to meet it are carbon free. The challenges primarily stem from the infrequent …

Abstract Purpose of Review Balancing a large share of solar and wind power generation in
the power system will require a well synchronized coordination of all possible flexibility …

Due to their significant energy demand, buildings are critical in efforts towards attaining the
much needed operational flexibility in electrical power grid occasioned by increased …

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are sized using design conditions,
conditions that occur only a small percentage of time each year. As a result, HVAC systems …

Demand response (DR) is expected to play a major role in integrating large shares of
variable renewable energy (VRE) sources in power systems. For example, DR can increase …

This report provides a high-resolution US national-scale power systems assessment of
scenarios with widespread electrification using detailed grid simulations. We find that high …

Buildings are widely regarded as potential sources for demand flexibility. The flexibility of
thermal and electric load in buildings is a result of their interactive nature and its impact on …

Abstract Models have long been effective tools in the planning and policy making of energy
systems, but low-carbon electrification—decarbonizing generation supply while expanding …
