A review of learning rates for electricity supply technologies (2015, background): “Globally, offshore wind capacity has grown from roughly 14 GW in 1999 to 197 GW in 2010 (Clarke et al., 2006; Jamasb, 2007; Moccia and Arapogianni, 2011; Nordhaus, 2009).”
The experience curve theory and its application in the field of electricity generation technologies – A literature review (2018, background): “Instead, the causal relationship may work the other way around: cost decreases (brought about by various factors other than experience) may lead to more rapid technology deployment as the technology becomes economically more attractive [9,10].”
Historical construction costs of global nuclear power reactors (2016, unknown): “Clarke et al. (2006); Söderholm and Sundqvist (2007), and Pan and Köhler (2007) warned against using learning curves beyond the scope of a manufacturing ﬁ rm, since there are many drivers of cost reductions that are unrelated to replications or experience.”
Technical change and the marginal cost of abatement (2008, background): “[8], and Clarke, et al.”
A review of uncertainties in technology experience curves (2012, background): “…including R&D (or learningby-researching) (Clarke et al., 2006; Cohen and Klepper, 1996; Jamasb, 2007; Watanabe et al., 2003), knowledge spillovers (Clarke et al., 2006), increased capital investments (Cohen, 1995; Klepper and Simons, 2000),economies-of-scale (Nemet, 2006; Sinclair et al., 2000;…”
The dynamics of solar PV costs and prices as a challenge for technology forecasting (2013, background): “At a basic conceptual level, learning by experience (the assumed primary learning effect in learning curves) can only partially explain cost reductions and the multiple, complex drivers of cost reductions cannot be fully captured by a simple functional relationship between capacity installed and uni”
