Correction,
$4.31/Watt capital cost

For scale, a 2.6 GW OSW wind project, at 55% capacity factor, would run the entire state of Delaware—houses, industry, offices, everything. After the paperwork it’s a 3 year build. And reduces electric bills (a little) statewide.

That solves for the big BTM devices. Sure, also good to have access to premises smart meter. But we didn’t need that access for home solar (done with RECs+NEM), and I think we won’t need it for #V2G nor BTM home batteries.

Thanks, helpful link. We have successfully carved the turkey at different joints within 2222. Premises meter for kWh energy and TOD transactions at 1-h time resolution, settled with EDC via bill. Device meter for RTO A/S & capacity at 1-sec resolution, settled from RTO via aggregator. Running now.

Hi @jigarshahdc.bsky.social Our UD #EV group is now running EVs in PJM A/S markets; entering PJM Capacity market seems blocked by their market requirement to also sell energy (impossible for batteries), not blocked by data release problems. Clarify, who should release what data?

I’m Willett @ U Delaware, leading research, development, & policy on #offshorewind & #EV, latter including #V2G (using batteries in EVs to make the grid more reliable & renewables-efficient).

I agree that output is a better measure of effect or value. My prior message answered your why: It’s business advantage in competitive markets, not some secret. Also, I gave you links to data on many projects. The information is out there but you don’t seem to want to do the work to find or read it.

Power production is a highly competitive business. If you approach one project, right, their data is proprietary. Many reports summarizing data results, easy to find. Or, to analyze yourself, use pubic data, for example, click "download" on any of these: catalog.data.gov/dataset/util...

You asked for a number, I gave you it, told you I’ve calculated it and it’s in textbooks. You replied saying it is fabricated and showed you don’t understand it anyway. So a waste of my time to be helpful. Parting advice:if you build things based on ideology rather than engineering, they fall apart.

U.S. mid-latitudes, installed capacity factors average 18% for solar, 30% for land-based wind, and 50% for offshore wind. That’s ± for equipment variants and local climatology. I’ve calculated these and reviewed with other analysts many times. They’re in intro textbooks. Don’t need to “find out”.

This thread, and the cited IEA Report, are based on measurements, experience, and expert review. You responded with unsupported qualitative claims from political blogs, quantitatively wrong plus ridiculous given > $1 Trillion invested this year. Try posting in a political thread for more reactions.
