Analysis Activities by Organization
Representative: Thomas Key

Organizational Objectives – Analysis
EPRI's mission is to conduct research on key issues facing the electric power industry on behalf of its members, energy stakeholders and society. Energy analysis is of increasing importance to the electric power industry as significant uncertainties exist related to future fuel supplies, carbon emission constraints, and changes in generation technologies. These analyses allow us to look at different scenarios and plan contingencies that will determine the most economical and environmentally sound path to provide our future energy needs.
Analysis Activities – Relevance to Priority Topics
A) Enhance R&D Deployment Portfolio Analysis Tools
EPRI recent scenario planning exercise looked at natural gas and CO2 costs to define four different energy futures. Results are available in a public report, Electric Power Industry Technology Scenarios, Preliminary Results, EPRI 1013016, December 2005.
C) Augment Energy Technologies and Demand Response Representation in Energy Models
We are very interested in this topic going forward and would welcome discussion on modeling efforts and related collaborations.
D) Enhance Regional Technology Characterizations and Transmission Constraints in Energy Models
This is of high interest for both renewable energy regional characterizations and for analysis of regional transmission requirements.
