Trends in Electricity Prices During the Transition Away from Coal by William B
May 2021 | Vol. 10 / No. 10 PRICES AND SPENDING Trends in electricity prices during the transition away from coal By William B. McClain The electric power sector of the United States has undergone several major shifts since the deregulation of wholesale electricity markets began in the 1990s. One interesting shift is the transition away from coal-powered plants toward a greater mix of natural gas and renewable sources. This transition has been spurred by three major factors: rising costs of prepared coal for use in power generation, a significant expansion of economical domestic natural gas production coupled with a corresponding decline in prices, and rapid advances in technology for renewable power generation.1 The transition from coal, which included the early retirement of coal plants, has affected major price-determining factors within the electric power sector such as operation and maintenance costs, 1 U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS capital investment, and fuel costs. Through these effects, the decline of coal as the primary fuel source in American electricity production has affected both wholesale and retail electricity prices. Identifying specific price effects from the transition away from coal is challenging; however the producer price indexes (PPIs) for electric power can be used to compare general trends in price development across generator types and regions, and can be used to learn valuable insights into the early effects of fuel switching in the electric power sector from coal to natural gas and renewable sources. The PPI program measures the average change in prices for industries based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Applicability of Remote Sensing-Based Vegetation Water Content in Modeling Lightning-Caused Forest Fire Occurrences
International Journal of Geo-Information Article Applicability of Remote Sensing-Based Vegetation Water Content in Modeling Lightning-Caused Forest Fire Occurrences Masoud Abdollahi 1, Ashraf Dewan 2 and Quazi K. Hassan 1,* 1 Department of Geomatics Engineering, Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2500 University Dr. NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada; [email protected] 2 Spatial Sciences Discipline, School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Curtin University, Kent St, Bentley, WA 6102, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-403-220-9494 Received: 21 February 2019; Accepted: 15 March 2019; Published: 18 March 2019 Abstract: In this study, our aim was to model forest fire occurrences caused by lightning using the variable of vegetation water content over six fire-dominant forested natural subregions in Northern Alberta, Canada. We used eight-day composites of surface reflectance data at 500-m spatial resolution, along with historical lightning-caused fire occurrences during the 2005–2016 period, derived from a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. First, we calculated the normalized difference water index (NDWI) as an indicator of vegetation/fuel water content over the six natural subregions of interest. Then, we generated the subregion-specific annual dynamic median NDWI during the 2005–2012 period, which was assembled into a distinct pattern every year. We plotted the historical lightning-caused fires onto the generated patterns, and used the concept of cumulative frequency to model lightning-caused fire occurrences. Then, we applied this concept to model the cumulative frequencies of lightning-caused fires using the median NDWI values in each natural subregion.

Best Electricity Market Design Practices
In My View Best Electricity Market Design Practices William W. Hogan (forthcoming in IEEE Power & Energy) Organized wholesale electricity markets in the United States follow the principles of bid-based, security-constrained, economic dispatch with locational marginal prices. The basic elements build on analyses done when large thermal generators dominated the structure of the electricity market in most countries. Notable exceptions were countries like Brazil that utilized large-scale pondage hydro systems. For such systems, the critical problem centered on managing a multi- year inventory of stored water. But for most developed electricity systems, the dominance of thermal generation implied that the major interactions in unit commitment decisions would be measured in hours to days, and the interactions in operating decisions would occur over minutes to hours. As a result, single period economic dispatch became the dominant model for analyzing the underlying basic principles. The structure of this analysis Figure 1: Spot Market integrated the terminology of economics and engineering. As shown in SHORT-RUN ELECTRICITY MARKET Figure 1: Spot Market, the Energy Price Short-Run (¢/kWh) Marginal increasing short-run Cost Price at marginal cost of generation 7-7:30 p.m. defined the dispatch stack or supply curve. Thermal Demand efficiencies and fuel cost 7-7:30 p.m. Price at were the primary sources 9-9:30 a.m. of short-run generation cost Price at Demand differences.

U.S. Power Sector Outlook 2021 Rapid Transition Continues to Reshape Country’S Electricity Generation
Dennis Wamsted, IEEFA Energy Analyst 1 Seth Feaster, IEEFA Data Analyst David Schlissel, IEEFA Director of Resource Planning Analysis March 2021 U.S. Power Sector Outlook 2021 Rapid Transition Continues To Reshape Country’s Electricity Generation Executive Summary The scope and speed of the transition away from fossil fuels, particularly coal, has been building for the past decade. That transition, driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy and battery storage, is now nearing exponential growth, particularly for solar. The impact in the next two to three years is going to be transformative. In recognition of this growth, IEEFA’s 2021 outlook has been expanded to include separate sections covering wind and solar, battery storage, coal, and gas— interrelated segments of the power generation sector that are marked by vastly different trajectories: • Wind and solar technology improvements and the resulting price declines have made these two generation resources the least-cost option across much of the U.S. IEEFA expects wind and solar capacity installations to continue their rapid rise for the foreseeable future, driven not only by their cost advantage but also by their superior environmental characteristics. • Coal generation capacity has fallen 32% from its peak 10 years ago—and its share of the U.S. electricity market has fallen even faster, to less than 20% in 2020. IEEFA expects the coal industry’s decline to accelerate as the economic competition from renewables and storage intensifies; operational experience with higher levels of wind and solar grows; and public concern about climate change rises. • Gas benefitted in the 2010s from the fracking revolution and the assumption that it offered a bridge to cleaner generation.
