News Flash November 19, 2009
OSA announces the initiation of a Collaborative Integrated Resource Planning Study. The CIRPS project will develop a 30 year resource plan for a generic, but very typical, electric service region. The benefit/cost functions will include both the direct costs of service and the external costs to society of the impacts of various energy alternatives. Available energy, renewable, and conservation options will be evaluated over a wide range of uncertainties with regard to costs and climate change impacts. The OSA PowrSym software and the OSA server farm will be used to model the thousands of scenarios created by the combination of options and uncertainties. CIRPS is unique in that it will be a fully open and transparent process with parties from all view points invited to participate and contribute to the development of the study scenarios. CIRPS will provide an accurate and neutral simulation model allowing all options and view points to be evaluated on a level playing field. Collaboration will be accomplished via workshops and an Internet working group. See CIRPS Study and OSA News for more information.
