The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Achieving California's 80% greenhouse gas reduction target in 2050: Technology, policy and scenario analysis using CA-TIMES energy economic systems model (2015, methodology): “Power plant costs and efficiencies come primarily from AEO and the SWITCH model (AEO, 2013; Nelson et al., 2012).”
Features of a fully renewable US electricity system: Optimized mixes of wind and solar PV and transmission grid extensions (2014, background): “The high sensitivity of solar PV to prices, relative to that of wind, is corroborated by the significant price impact on solar PV build-out observed in [13].”
Feasible path toward 40–100% renewable energy shares for power supply in France by 2050: A prospective analysis (2016, methodology): “In all of the simulated periods and for all scenarios, the dispatch verific ation did not find a single hour during which production could not meet demand, showing that thei r LTPM is quite robust for power system sizing purposes, at least for intermediate penetrat ion levels of VREs [15].”
Integration of Renewable Energy Sources in future power systems: The role of storage (2014, background): “[5–8, 12–16] for Europe, [17, 18] for Australia and [19, 20] for the United States).”
