DNV Conducts Energy Reliability Studies for New England

Wind Industry Profile of

The analysis assesses the reliability of variable energy resources during extreme weather events.

DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider generated and analyzed 20,000 years of plausible weather and power production for ISO New England (ISO-NE). With the completion of this project, which began at the end of 2019, ISO-NE can now understand the magnitude, frequency and duration of events like cold snaps or heat waves which drive regional load, as well as their correlation to wind and solar lulls as they pertain to current and future variable energy resources like wind and solar energy plants. Climate change is increasing the risk and frequency of rare or extreme weather events and disruptions to the stability of the electrical grid. Amplifying the need for risk... ...
