Wind and solar aren’t the only resources that can be curtailed. For each interval in the 60 day disclosure report CIM View looks at the offer curves and limits for each resource and compares the MWs that would be dispatched at the average ERCOT price (System Lambda) to the MWs that would be dispatched at…
What would ERCOT renewable production look like if it were scaled such that the annual production were equal to the ERCOT load ?” Well, that’s an interesting question, and, frankly, not that hard to answer. Below are the interactive answers for 2019 (scale factor 4.74), 2020 (scale factor 3.98), and 2021 (scale factor 3.53). …
Using our data pipeline and CIM Insight tool, we present the following visualizations of ERCOT outages in plotly. The plots display outages as aggregate power reductions at points in time for a trailing 30-day period in stacked line charts. The charts have many interactive features, including zooming in on selected ranges, removing or highlighting data…
