...levels similar to the BLUE Map scenario, grid balancing in the NREL Western Wind and Solar Integration Study results in a negligible degradation of CO2 emissions savings, further reductions of nitrogen oxide emissions, and a degradation of SO2 emission savings by 2–5% (113)....

...Study as a guide, the need for additional generation from dispatchable reserve power plants to balance variable renewable generation was only 1–3% of the total wind and solar generation in the scenario (113)....

...When treating reserves in this study, we determined the reserve requirements necessary to cover a significant level of uncertainty in wind and solar variability (Ibanez et al. 2013)....

...Similarly, higher penetrations of wind led to higher reserve requirements (Ibanez et al. 2013) than those with high penetrations of solar because reserve requirements for wind/solar are driven by short-term uncertainty....

...Therefore, we calculate flexibility reserve requirements based on the weather component of solar variability (Ibanez et al. 2013) as discussed in Section 5....
