To review methods of economic assessment of intermittent solar technologies in applications that are connected to conventional utility systems. This report concentrates on research and development planning. More specifically, it concentrates on the problem of identifying solar electric technology cost goals-the system costs at which solar electric systems will compete with conventional technologies • Despite this technology assessment perspective, utility analysts and public utility commissions should find the information in this report useful because of recent changes in regulations affecting the utility industry. The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) and related rules governing its implementation require utilities and utility commissions to consider rate reform and establish rates for power purchased from solar and other qualifying facilities. The problems associated with assessing grid-connected solar technologies are inextricably related to the problems associated with establishing rate-design policies for solar customers •

“…One could then weight the loss of load probability according to the probability of the level. The problem here is that one is in danger of choosing all the worst cases across all hours, and then moving through the scenarios until all the best "cases" are treated (6). The process would not be exhaustive and quite inefficient with regard to computer usage.…”

The power may fluctuate freely over the range from zero to some maximum.Examples of such sources are wind machines, photovoltaic cells and, in some cases, run-of-river hydro.For a utility planner this form of resource presents problems in the determination of reliability and worth.A method of integrating these resources into a utility production cost model is presented; the method should improve approximations in production costing and in the loss-of-load calculation.
