Sentences with word «dispatchability»

Numerous utility studies have shown that wind can provide over 20 % of our energy with modest integration costs on the order of a half cent per kWh to ensure overall dispatchability.

CSP's dispatchability turns out to be both good news and bad news, according to Stöcker.

In order to grant dispatchability and firm capacity 12 - 15 % natural gas backup is allowed.

«Renewable certificates haven't supported CST because they don't preferentially encourage dispatchability or peak period generation.»

«Our belief is that CSP is a better option with bigger plants or where you need dispatchability,» according to the CEO.

The public has known for decades of the link between burning fossil fuels and global warming, yet society has continued to use oil and natural gas because there are still no alternatives that match their low - cost, their energy density, and their dispatchability.

Because of its dispatchability; the model factored in CSP with thermal storage as equivalent to fossil - fueled non-fluctuating generation resources like coal or gas.

Flexibility, dispatchability and capacity (as well as other services such as inertia and frequency control) can be provided by storage, other renewable technologies and the cheapest — demand - side management.

This ability improves CSP's capacity factor and dispatchability, and has the potential to improve CSP's levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

Coal is highly competitive with its low prices, dispatchability, and baseload compatibility.

The project also incorporates six hours of molten - salt storage that also improves the dispatchability of the power.

Note that LCOE does not factor in transmission considerations or dispatchability (i.e. unlike unpredictable winds, the energy production of fossil fuel and nuclear plants can be controlled).

The issue is sometimes called «dispatchability» of electricity when it's needed during high demand periods vs production.
