Variable Renewable Energy Impacts


Description:

These files are the core subset of the updated and expanded versions of the data originally collated for the UKERC "Costs and Impacts of Intermittency - 2016 update" project, see https://ukerc.ac.uk/project/the-intermittency-report/. This dataset includes the references, costs and impacts from this systematic review of the evidence on the costs and impacts of intermittent electricity generation technologies. These files are the core subset of the updated and expanded versions of the data originally collated for the UKERC "Costs and Impacts of Intermittency - 2016 update" project, see https://ukerc.ac.uk/project/the-intermittency-report/.
The dataset was further updated and expanded for a 2020 paper in Nature Energy "A systematic review of the costs and impacts of integrating variable renewables into power grids" - https://doi.org/10.1038/s41560-020-00695-4
