【 摘 要 】

This report provides an update on modeling of wind energy within the ObjECTS MiniCAM at the Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI). Started in FY 2004, the project aims to use integrated assessment modeling to understand the potential role of wind generation in the future market for electricity. A particular focus is to understand the potential role of wind technologies in the context of potential carbon constraints including interactions with other electric and non-electric technologies. Version 1 of this project was implemented for the U.S. in 2004 for U.S. DOE office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). The model was later expanded to global coverage under the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program (GTSP), and applied to scenarios developed for the U.S. Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP) and Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). Work on a more detailed representation of wind (Version 2) continued while the CCTP and CCSP scenarios were being developed, and a preliminary version of this model has been implemented. The successive stages of development are described in this report.
