Flexible Geothermal Power: An Economic Assessment
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
State renewable portfolio standards requiring more intermittent wind and solar generation will substantially increase uncertainty and variability in grid operations. Geothermal power plant operators could help mitigate variability and uncertainty by operating plants in a more flexible mode. Plant operators would be compensated for flexibility through payments for ancillary services such as frequency regulation, load following, and spinning reserve.
