Integration costs revisited – An economic framework for wind and solar variability ☆ (2015, background): “Offshore wind profiles are flatter than onshore wind profiles, which are flatter than solar PV profiles [8,36,45,70,72].”
Bridging the Gap: Do Fast Reacting Fossil Technologies Facilitate Renewable Energy Diffusion? (2016, unknown): “Jenner et al. (2013) extend the analysis to the EU and show that solar PV deployment has been driven by feed-in tariffs (FITs).”
Balancing power and variable renewables: Three links (2015, background): “A linear trend of these estimates shows a moderate increase in balancing costs with wind penetration [54,111,51,105,26,113,50,68,88,48].”
Decreasing market value of variable renewables can be avoided by policy action (2020, background): “Many of the papers on market value in long-term equilibrium models achieve rising shares of wind and solar either by exogenously fixing the capacity of wind and solar [8, 12, 13, 15, 17, 40] or by forcing them into the system with a constraint [14, 16, 35, 39, 41, 62]5, without always making clear t”
Market value of solar power: Is photovoltaics cost-competitive? (2015, background): “The methodologically most sophisticated studies by [30], [32], [46]-[48] report value factors in the range of 0.”
