We update the cost of nuclear power as calculated in the MIT (2003) Future of Nuclear Power study. Our main focus is on the changing cost of construction of new plants. The MIT (2003) study provided useful data on the cost of then recent builds in Japan and the Republic of Korea. We provide similar data on later builds in Japan and the Republic of Korea as well as a careful analysis of the fore...

• A levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for emerging photovoltaics (PV) is developed. Typical degradation profile Perovskite and Organic PV taken into account. Optimal strategies to improve LCOE depend upon present status technology. calculated literature state-of-the-art cells. Emerging have potential compete with established Silicon LCOE. model presented which accounts the significant ‘burn-in’ l...

This paper presents the results from a series of five case study impact evaluations of Energy Savings Plan (ESP) industrial energy efficiency projects funded by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Seattle City Light (SCL). These industrial sector evaluations are among the first in the Pacific Northwest to assess both energy and non-energy effects. The methodology used in these evaluat...

This study explores various scenarios and flexibility mechanisms to integrate high penetrations of renewable energy into the US (United States) power grid. A linear programming model e POWER (Power system Optimization With diverse Energy Resources) e is constructed and used to (1) quantify flexibility cost-benefits of geographic aggregation, renewable overgeneration, storage, and flexible elect...
