NPB Topic PPA – Renewables Suggestions/Comments Use 28-30% for on-shore wind and reduce off-shore wind from 38%. Response NSPI is satisfied that the on-shore wind capacity factor of 32% and the off-shore capacity factor of 38% are reasonab...
AI summary The NPB responds to suggestions regarding the use of capacity factors for on-shore and off-shore wind in PPA renewals, and discusses the inclusion of new technology impacts in the Strategist model. It notes that the model accounts for shutdown times and parasitic power penalties, and acknowledges the speculative nature of capital costs for nascent technologies like carbon capture.
, prices have increased and are reflected in the costing. In the case of the PC unit, the addition of post combustion capture technology would be considered "bolt-on" and thus less capital intensive. 34 Stakeholder NSDOE Topic PPA - Renewa...
AI summary The stakeholder NSDOE provided feedback on the PPA – Renewables, addressing particulate emissions, biomass moisture content, biomass block sizing, and tidal capacity factors. NSPI responded with plans to address emissions, explained moisture content, outlined biomass block sizing, and noted the use of a conservative tidal capacity factor.
Introduction On September 22, 2009, NSPI issued the Analysis Results to stakeholders. On September 30, NSPI facilitated a Technical Conference for participants at which the Analysis Results were presented. Participants were provided an opp...
AI summary NSPI issued analysis results in 2009 and held a technical conference for stakeholder feedback. The Departments of Energy and Environment suggested that biomass for electricity generation must be tested and verified with government approval. They also asked whether a 300 MW PPA would be from large hydro, nuclear, or tidal sources and noted the long lead times for such projects. NSPI agreed to the suggestions and confirmed that the PPA could be from any non-emitting resource.
