Expanded modelling scenarios to understand the role of offshore wind energy in decarbonizing the United States
An assessment of decarbonization pathways in energy models reveals fundamental limitations in representing factors that are relevant for practical decision-making. Although these modelling limitations are widely acknowledged, their impact on the deployment of individual power generation types is not well understood. As a result, the societal value from such generation types could be vastly misrepresented. … Continue reading Expanded modelling scenarios to understand the role of offshore wind energy in decarbonizing the United States
