Methods of addressing variability of WWS 1. Interconnecting geographically-dispersed WWS resources 2. Bundling WWS resources as one commodity and using hydroelectricity to fill in gaps in supply 3. Using demand-response management
4. Oversizing peak generation capacity and producing hydrogen with excess for industry, transportation 5. Storing electric power on site or in BEVs (e.g., VTG) 6. Forecasting winds and cloudiness better to reduce reserves
Matching Hourly Demand With WWS Supply by Aggregating Sites and Bundling WWS Resources – Least Cost Optimization for California For 99.8% of all hours in 2005, 2006, delivered CA elec. carbon free. Can oversize WWS capacity, use demand-response, forecast, store to reduce NG backup more

Summary 2030 electricity cost 4-10¢/kWh for most, 8-13 for some WWS , vs. fossil-fuel 8 + 5.5 externality = 13.5¢/kWh Includes long-distance transmission (1200-2000 km) ~1¢/kWh Requires only 0.41% more of world land for footprint; 0.59% for spacing (compared w/40% of world land for cropland and pasture) Eliminates 2.5-3 million air pollution deaths/year Eliminates global warming, provides energy stability
Summary, cont. Converting to Wind, Water, & Sun (WWS) and electricity/H2 will reduce global power demand by 30% Methods of addressing WWS variability: (a) interconnecting geographically-dispersed WWS; (b) bundling WWS and using hydro to fill in gaps; (c) demand-response; (d) oversizing peak capacity and producing hydrogen with excess for industry, vehicles; (e) onsite storage; (f) forecasting Materials are not limits although recycling may be needed.
