Power System Modeling the 20% Scenario

AEP’s conceptual interstate transmission plan to deliver 20 percent of US electricity from wind.

Many of the assumptions on wind resource, wind capital cost forecasts, wind turbine performance improvements, and conventional generation cost forecasts used in the 20 percent report were developed by Black & Veatch. This report documents the assumptions used by Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in their analysis and modeling for the 20 percent report. This report also provides Black & Veatch’s insight on the wind industry, its potential for growth, and some additional analysis related to the US wind resource and the 20 percent scenario.
