Impact of Firebrick Resistance-Heated Energy Storage (FIRES) on Electricity Prices in a Nuclear Renewable Grid

摘要

The large-scale introduction of renewables into the electricity grid causes large electricity price reductions including negative prices at times of high solar or wind output that hurts the economics of solar, wind, and nuclear. Figure 1 from the MIT Future of Solar Energy study shows impacts on electricity prices at times of high solar input.
