There was a really neat class I took in college on the economics of elctricity markets, and one of the things you discuss is base vs peak power generating plants (as discussed other places in this thread) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor seems to be a nice introduction to the idea.
- contingencies 10y agoA few years ago, one of the more interesting responses I had to an announcement of a project in to modern asset-generic, topology-generic, risk model-generic, actor-perspective oriented transaction protocols[1] was a US academic engineer interested in applications to electrical grids and embedded power systems in resource-constrained environments. I would like to have continued further and still believe in the currency of such a system (especially given rapidly evolving, complex risk models in infrastructure systems of all types), unfortunately my employer had other priorities and I have not had reason to return to the project. The IFEX protocol notes in particular may be interesting reading for those in the area, however. [1] http://ifex-project.org/ http://ifex-project.org/
