New OSeMOSYS peer-reviewed paper

Published Jul 26, 2016

Low carbon development

In the latest OSeMOSYS  publication , Alberta's fossil fuel-based power system was modelled. Thirteen scenarios with different carbon prices, costs, and loads are simulated. Coal to natural gas baseload shift provides most cost-effective emission reductions. $30/tCO2 is sufficient to meet IPCC 2 °C carbon intensity through to 2030. Dispatchable generation remains essential with extensive variable renewables. The work was lead by researchers from the University of Victoria, Candada and was published in Energy Strategy Reviews.
