In 2012, using easy-to-understand text and examples, the 1st
edition of this book explained how electric utilities "work", and
how they plan (or should plan) for the future, by: "Creating" a
hypothetical electric utility. Explaining how (and why) this
utility will operate its system of generating units. Guiding
readers through a planning analysis for the utility, examining
various resource options (solar, new gas-fueled generation, and
conservation). Introducing four Fundamental Principles of Resource
Planning that should guide utilities as they plan for the future.
The 1st edition material, with significant updates, now appears as
Part I of the 2nd edition of this book. Part II then presents six
all-new chapters that address challenges (and opportunities) of
moving towards a zero-carbon future. Using the same hypothetical
utility, with its new goal to utilize solar and batteries to serve
100% of its customers’ energy with zero carbon emissions by a
future "target" year, Part II addresses many subjects, including:
The enormous amount of MW of new solar and batteries the utility
will need to be add. Why certain characteristics of new solar and
battery additions change as increasing amounts of these resources
are added. In the years prior to achieving its zero-carbon goal,
how the hourly operation of the utility’s existing fossil-fueled
generators, plus the new solar, will change (and why the stability
of the transmission grid will be challenged). With this 2nd
edition, author Dr. Steven Sim again applies the experience and
insights he gained from more than 30 years of resource planning for
Florida Power & Light (FPL). As one of the largest electric
utilities in the U.S., FPL has faced a multitude of resource
planning challenges, including how to get to zero carbon. During
this time period, Dr. Sim performed and directed thousands of
analyses designed to address these challenges. He also served as an
expert witness in dozens of regulatory hearings addressing both the
economics of resource options, and the non-economic impacts (air
emissions, system reliability, fuel usage, etc.) associated with
these options.
