Real-time pricing and the cost of clean power
Imelda, Imelda; Fripp, Matthias; Roberts, Michael J. - 2022
Solar and wind power are now cheaper than fossil fuels but are intermittent. The extra supply-side variability implies growing benefits of using real-time retail pricing (RTP). We evaluate the potential gains of RTP using a model that jointly solves investment, supply, storage, and demand to...
