US-REGEN Model Documentation

Version 2020 Change version

January 2020 documentation update, describing the model's structure at the end of 2019.

Changes:

  • Electric model was substantially revamped, with a greater focus on hourly dispatch to support storage modeling, reserve margins added as a default option, and the option to use sub-state data now included, where data is available.
  • CO2 storage and transport costs were added explicitly to the modeling of carbon capture and storage technologies.
  • Additional state level policies were added to maintain coverage of renewable portfolio and clean energy standards, state clean energy targets, and other technology carveouts for solar and offshore wind.
  • Improvements were made to the end-use model, incorporating insights from the state supplemental projects.
