• Generation expansion planning optimisation with renewable energy integration: A review (2017, background): “Although some studies have attempted to estimate the cost of flexibility provision through solar and wind power [99-101], a collective framework is required to harmonize the inherent differences among various power systems and the features that are considered in the economic evaluation.”
• 2018 Wind Technologies Market Report (2010, background): “Finally, there has been some recent literature questioning the methods used to estimate wind integration costs and the ability to explicitly disentangle those costs, while also highlighting potential integration costs associated with other generation options (Milligan et al., 2011).”
• Intermittency and the Value of Renewable Energy (2011, unknown): “renewables, although such a definition depends on how the reference case is defined [Milligan et al., 2011].”
• Intermittent and stochastic character of renewable energy sources: Consequences, cost of intermittence and benefit of forecasting (2018, background): “255 Previous studies defined integration costs as “an increase in power system operating costs” 256 [51], as “the additional cost of accommodating wind and solar” [47], as “the extra investment 257 and operational cost of the non-ISRES part of the power system when ISRES power is 258 integrated” [49”
• System LCOE: What are the Costs of Variable Renewables? (2013, unknown): “Many studies apply a proxy resource (we term it benchmark) to teaseout integration costs ([26,18]).”
• On the economics of renewable energy sources (2013, background): “The literature has identified temporal variability, uncertainty, and the fact that they are bound to certain locations as key properties of variable renewables (Milligan et al., 2011; Sims et al., 2011; Borenstein, 2012).”
• The Optimal Share of Variable Renewables: How the Variability of Wind and Solar Power affects their Welfare-optimal Deployment (2012, unknown): “Specifically, we refer to “variability” as three inherent properties of these technologies: variability over time, limited predictability, and the fact that they are bound to certain locations (cf. Milligan et al., 2011; Sims et al., 2011).”
