• Objective Functions – Cost (including annualized capital, fixed and variable O&M,
fuel, and cost of carbon (in 2050 scenario)
– Approximate Emissions – linear function of natural gas generation and spinning capacity
• Linear Constraints – System-wide power balance – Generator governing equations (affine w.r.t. capacity, fuel)
– Thermal plant ramp rates – Energy (integrated power) constraints

• We can provide >99% of generation from non-carbon based generators while meeting an LOLE requirement of 1 day in 10 years
• With conservative assumptions regarding thermal plant operation, can still achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions from base case levels
• Stochastic analyses are needed in system planning
• Low capacity factors will require enhanced capacity markets for thermal plants
