Abstract
A comparative technology assessment and roadmapping process is used to examine key characteristics for leading electricity generation technologies and predict trends in cost reduction and growth potential. The role of renewable energy in generation portfolios is assessed, as well as resource integration strategies to minimize cost and environmental damage. The level of adoption of each technology is then linked to cost reduction and growth trends using a cost-prioritized adoption rule. Estimated levels of adoption are then matched to the projected growth of energy demand to determine both adequacy of supply and impact under this model. This study is applicable on both a national and regional energy planning level.
