Interim monitoring of cost dynamics for publicly supported energy technologies (2009, background): “Addressing PV specifically, Borenstein (2008) argues that experience curve-based analyses do not justify government programs because they conflate multiple effects and ignore appropriability concerns.”
Decreasing market value of variable renewables can be avoided by policy action (2020, background): “The results for the VRE support policy case confirm what is widely seen in the literature (Mills and Wiser, 2015; Kopp et al., 2012; Mills and Wiser, 2013; Hirth, 2013; Gilmore et al., 2015; Winkler et al., 2016; Gowrisankaran et al., 2016; Borenstein, 2008): MV declines with rising penetration, eve”
Intermittency and the Value of Renewable Energy (2011, unknown): “CSP systems are typically built at utility scale (50 MW capacity or more) whereas solar PV (16)See Borenstein [2008]. The impact on PV performance depends on the particular PV technology.”
Integration costs revisited – An economic framework for wind and solar variability ☆ (2015, background): “Previous studies have shown that the characteristic properties of VRE reduce the market value of VRE with increasing VRE penetration [30]; [8,32,44,57,62,70,72].”
Market value of solar power: Is photovoltaics cost-competitive? (2015, background): “However, grid operation costs are virtually independent from PV deployment [16].”
On the economics of renewable energy sources (2013, background): “On the other hand, a second branch of literature analyses wind and solar variability by estimating their marginal economic value (Lamont, 2008; Borenstein, 2008; Fripp and Wiser, 2008; Nicolosi, 2012a; Mills and Wiser, 2012; Hirth, 2013).”
Comparative economic analysis of supporting policies for residential solar PV in the United States: Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) potential (2012, background): “The most popular discount rates for SPV are 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% with the lower interest rates seen as most appropriate for evaluating public policies (Borenstein, 2008).”
The U.S. Electricity Industry After 20 Years of Restructuring (2015, background): “Borenstein (2008) estimates that in real-world grid operation this increases the cost of the alternative power source by an average of 20%, bringing marginal cost of alternative generation to around $0.078/kWh. Inclusion of the cost of GHG emissions raises the cost of alternative generation by…”
Electricity provision with intermittent sources of energy (2012, background): “Borenstein (2008) proposes a deep economic analysis of solar photovoltaic electricity production with a focus on California.”
