Reproducing solar curtailment with Fourier analysis using Japan dataset
Dumlao, Samuel Matthew G.; Ishihara, Keiichi N. - In: Energy reports 6 (2020) 2, pp. 199-205
Curtailment of variable renewable energy increases the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), which is the tool often used to compare its profitability against traditional energy sources. Recently, the Kyushu Region of Japan had to curtail some of its solar production to meet energy balance. As many...
