Analysis of 500MW of Wave Energy on the All Ireland Market Mr. Paul Deane, Dr. Gordon Dalton, Dr. Brian O’Gallachoir Economics of Ocean and Marine Renewable Energy Monday, 13th June, 2011 Energy Policy and Modelling Team, Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork

2 of ?? Overview Research Questions Methodology and Inputs Answers

4 of ?? Research Questions What will be impact of 500MW of Wave Energy on the Irish System in 2020 on –Wholesale electricity (SMP) –System Operational Costs –Ireland CO2 emissions Examine revenue from developer perspective

5 of ?? Methodology Must Compare Like with Like –Installed 500MW of wave energy replaces wind capacity and generation. –Assumed adequate wind and wind and wave to meet ROI RES-E target of 40% –Same outages, fuel prices, technical inputs for all plant –2 Scenarios, 3 Carbon cases –Caveats!
