To further a just energy transition, jobs lost at retiring coal plants could be replaced by wind and solar plants. No research quantifies the feasibility costs of such an undertaking across United States. Complicating are workers' place-based preferences that prevent them from moving long distances, e.g. to high renewable resource regions. We formulate bottom-up optimization model quantify technical replacing plant with local versus distant in renewables sector. For contiguous States, we...
Distribution system residential load modeling and analysis for different geographic areas within a utility or an independent operator territory are critical enabling small-scale, aggregated distributed energy resources to participate in grid services under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order No. 2222 [1]. In this study, we develop methodology of profiles with focus on human behavior impact. First, construct behavior-based profile model leveraging state-of-the-art appliance models. We...
