Abstract

Interregional Renewable Energy Zones (IREZs) are a component of the National Transmission Planning Study (NTPS), which analyzes strategies for building out transmission infrastructure to support decarbonizing the electricity sector by 2035. In particular, IREZs envision long-distance transmission corridors for moving large amounts of low-cost renewable energy. An IREZ is a transmission collection point that is easily accessible to a very high volume of low-cost developable wind and solar energy potential. This dataset includes 155 IREZs identified across the continental United States where each IREZ is characterized by its primary and secondary resource.

Interregional Renewable Energy Zones

Technical Report Hurlbut, David J. ; Gu, Jianyu ; Sundar, Srihari ; ...

A growing number of studies suggest that fundamental changes in the nation’s power sector have major implications for transmission planning (FERC 2022). The changing landscape suggests, among other things, the need for a concerted reexamination of long-distance interregional transmission solutions. Large, long-distance interregional transmission projects have faced institutional obstacles in the past, however (Homer et al. forthcoming). The purpose of this study is to design and test an approach to interregional transmission that can respond both to the evolving needs of the U.S. power system and to the regulatory questions that states and other authorities must consider when approving newmore » investments in transmission.« less
Quantifying and Monetizing Renewable Energy Resiliency

Dataset Lisell, Lars ; Anderson, Kate ; Laws, Nick ; ...

As part of the seed LDRD in 2017 we generated catastrophe models to look at the value of resiliency from an insurance perspective. These data sets reflect the inputs and outputs of that analysis.
NREL Renewable Energy Resource Data

Dataset Rossol, Michael ; Hodge, Bri-Mathias ; Draxl, Caroline ; ...

This data is derived from the Wind Integration National Dataset (WIND) Toolkit and the Solar Integration National Dataset (SIND). The WIND Toolkit provides meteorological conditions and turbine power for more than 126,000 land-based and offshore wind sites across the continental United States, and the SIND Toolkit provides subhourly solar power data designed to assist researchers and utilities in solar generation integration studies This data set includes meteorological variables, including wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, air density, irradiance, and surface temperature. Parameters such as wind profiles, atmospheric stability, and solar radiation data are also included.

National Marine Renewable Energy Center Upgrades - LUPA

Dataset Robertson, Bryson ; Bosma, Bret ; Beringer, Courtney

The data provided is part of a power take off damping optimization study. The power take off damping coefficient was swept from 0 to approximately 7000 N/m/s during a single regular wave test with a real time control of the motor/generator. The generated power from the LUPA (Lab Upgrade Point Absorber) wave energy converter is reported by the motor drive in watts. The csv files in this submission are the corresponding raw time series outputs for each mode of operation of LUPA (one body heave only, two body heave only, and two body six degrees of freedom).
