Would it make sense to design wind energy projects based on the price of energy?
A fascinating article by Kiko Maza analyzes the possibility of designing wind farms with the goal of maximizing captured revenue in the electricity market rather than maximizing generated energy. In other words, challenging the traditional model of maximizing AEP (Annual Energy Production) with a new model that maximizes AEV (Annual Energy Value). The article stems … Continue reading Would it make sense to design wind energy projects based on the price of energy?
