Rethinking Resource Adequacy: A Real-Time Reliability Perspective
Read More: Rethinking Resource Adequacy: A Real-Time Reliability PerspectiveResource adequacy (RA) programs — from PJM’s Reliability Pricing Model to California’s Resource Adequacy Program — are facing pressure from multiple directions: load growth, changes in generation mix, emerging technologies, interdependencies with fuel supply operations and regulations, extreme weather, energy policy, and interconnection bottlenecks. In response to these stressors, many RA programs, already complex, are…
