Wind in the Upper Midwest: Assessing Wind Resource Variability and Representation in Reanalyses
… Long-term wind variations are related to climate variability over periods ranging from months to years, with the so-called teleconnections possibly driving significant changes in power output. The goal of this study was to assess the potential impacts of modes of variability within the climate …

Investigating the Environmental Impacts of Western Canadian Tight Oil Resources
… has seen the emergence of an unconventional resource known as tight oil. In 2017, oil production from this resource reached 430 thousand barrels per day, accounting for approximately 10% of all Canadian crude produced. Despite rapid development, the environmental impacts associated with the …

Economic and technical impacts of wind variability and intermittency on long-term generation expansion planning in the U.S
… I aggregate an hourly dataset of load and wind resource in eleven regions in order to capture the geographical diversity of the U.S. Sensitivity of the optimal generation mix over a long-term horizon with respect to different cost assumptions and policy scenarios is examined. I find that load …
