To review methods of economic assessment of intermittent solar technologies in applications that are connected to conventional utility systems. This report concentrates on research and development planning. More specifically, it concentrates on the problem of identifying solar electric technology cost goals-the system costs at which solar electric systems will compete with conventional technologies • Despite this technology assessment perspective, utility analysts and public utility commissions should find the information in this report useful because of recent changes in regulations affecting the utility industry. The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) and related rules governing its implementation require utilities and utility commissions to consider rate reform and establish rates for power purchased from solar and other qualifying facilities. The problems associated with assessing grid-connected solar technologies are inextricably related to the problems associated with establishing rate-design policies for solar customers •

“…One could ~hen weight the loss of load probability according to the probability of the level. The problem here is that one is in danger of choosing all the worst "cases" across all hours, and then moving through the scenarios until all the best "cases" are treated [6). The process would not be exhaustive and quite inefficient with regard to computer usage.…”

“…During the past several years there have been a number of studies on the value of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) to electric utilities [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Because the approaches taken varied from study to study and different degrees of sophistication were used, the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), sponsored by the Wind Energy Systems Di vision of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), began to develop a package of computerized tools to determine the value of WECS to electric utilities.…”

This report, the first of two volumes and prepared within the Utility Applications and Policy Branch of SERI for the Department of Energy's Wind Energy Systems Division under Subtask 3532.15, contains a methodology to determine the value of wind energy conversion systems to electric utilities. A complete description of the associated computer programs developed by and available from SERI is also included. Volume II is a user's guide for the computer programs.

The power may fluctuate freely over the range from zero to some maximum.Examples of such sources are wind machines, photovoltaic cells and, in some cases, run-of-river hydro.For a utility planner this form of resource presents problems in the determination of reliability and worth.A method of integrating these resources into a utility production cost model is presented; the method should improve approximations in production costing and in the loss-of-load calculation.
