Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Options in the U.S. Electric Sector: A ReEDS Analysis

The Energy Journal, 2014, vol. 35, issue 1_suppl, 101-114

Abstract: We apply a U.S. electric-sector capacity-expansion and dispatch model to assess possible implications—changes in generation mix, system cost, CO2 emissions, distribution of renewable energy deployment—of a set of potential greenhouse gas mitigation policy options over a range of technology projections. The model used, ReEDS, provides unique spatial and temporal detail to ensure electric-sys-tem constraints of reliable load provision are maintained throughout the system’s transformation.
