Geospatial sensitivity of transmission-constrained ACOPF to generator retirement (opens in new tab)

The US faces a growing resource adequacy challenge: new loads are being added at unprecedented scale while aging generating assets are being retired. In transmission-constrained grids, it is difficult to determine which units can be safely retired and which cannot be retired and instead require lifetime extensions until new generation can be built. Historically, this analysis was prohibitively time consuming. Transmission-constrained AC optimal ...
