Graduate student Xi Wang and a group of international collaborators recently released a report providing an overview of curtailment trends of wind and solar energy in nine countries. The study was conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) as part of the International Energy Agency Wind Task 25 on Design and Operation of Power Systems with Large Amounts of Wind Power.
Curtailment of renewables–a practice by which wind and solar facilities are not generating electricity at their maximum potential–has become an important issue recently as more renewables are added to the electricity grid.
