Hopefully this analysis has revealed some of the reasons for rising utility rates when incorporating renewables into the electrical grid despite the renewables having no fuel costs.
It also shows why these cost drivers are present but not apparent in a network containing sufficient dispatchable thermal sources of energy. Analyses done on an asset level insensitive to costs of interaction among generating plants will likely never explain the mystery…
