How much does grid interconnection cost?
Several separate data-files were last released in mid-, and we have aggregated them here, then added our own analytics and observations. The cost of grid interconnection has averaged $138/kW across 3,382 projects in the database, which breaks down as $51/kW for thermal power plants, $138/kW for wind projects and $167/kW for solar projects.
How do different customer bases influence grid utility operations?
Different customer bases, including residential, commercial, and industrial users, influence grid utility operations. Industrial-heavy regions may focus on high reliability and power quality, while residential areas emphasize energy efficiency and demand management.
How much does a grid upgrade cost?
A good baseline is to expect $100-300/kW of grid inter-connection costs, or $3-10/kW-km, over a typical distance of 10-70 km. But the requirement to fund network upgrade costs can push grid connections to cost more than developing renewables projects themselves?!
How do I select a grid communications system?
With the above requirements known, another determining factor for selecting grid communications is the current state of communications technologies in place at the electric utility. Establishing the current state will form a basis for assessing the cost and effort required to implement the new communications required.
What is an inverter based resource (IBR)?
, a conventional (or legacy) GFL inverter’s control1The term “IBR” is defined in IEEE Std - as an inverter-based resource c nnected to a transmission or sub-transmission system. For purposes of this document, an IBR is taken to mean an inverter-based resource con ected anywhere in the system, including dist
Why do grid utilities rely on communications providers?
Communications providers offer specific physical connectivity such as leased fiber lines or services such as cellular, Ethernet, or others. This reliance on providers represents a potential risk that grid utilities need to understand and incorporate into their recovery planning.
