8 · DOE Reflection — Rubric Alignment

This section directly addresses the interview assessment criteria.

8.1 Problem Formulation

The response variable is total system cost ($M) over the planning horizon 2025–2050. Input factors are the technology build decisions $B_{i,t}$ for each source $i$ and year $t$. The constraint that forces the experimental outcome is the net-zero emissions ceiling in 2050 — without this constraint the solver would run coal indefinitely.

8.2 Design Strategy

This is a linear programme (LP), not a factorial experiment. The “design” choice here is the LP formulation: the objective, constraints, and the iterative VRE curtailment loop. The number of “trials” is the 26-year horizon (2025–2050) × 4 technologies = 104 generation decisions per solve, iterated up to 8 times for convergence.

The iterative loop is analogous to a sequential experimental design — each iteration updates the capacity factor based on the observed VRE share, tightening the solution the way a centre-point in a CCD tightens the response surface estimate.

8.3 Scenario Analysis as Factor Variation

The scenario parameters in this document are the experimental factors:

tibble(
  Factor                = c("Demand trajectory",
                             "Solar capex multiplier",

                             "Build rate limits",
                             "Net-zero target year"),

                             "Tightens or relaxes the net-zero constraint")
) %>%
  kable(caption = "Scenario factors and their effect on the objective function") %>%
  kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover"), full_width = TRUE)

Scenario factors and their effect on the objective function
Factor	Operational range	Effect on response
Demand trajectory	200–490 TWh (2025→2050)	Scales total investment needed
Solar capex multiplier	0.5× – 1.5× GenCost baseline	Shifts optimal solar/gas crossover year
Carbon price	$0 – $150/t CO₂	Penalises fossil dispatch → earlier coal exit
Build rate limits	2–30 GW/yr (solar), 2–25 GW/yr (wind)	Constrains speed of transition
Net-zero target year	2035, 2040, 2045, 2050	Tightens or relaxes the net-zero constraint

8.4 Limitations

No storage modelled — batteries and pumped hydro would absorb curtailed solar/wind, raising feasible VRE share above 90%
Single national grid — ignores transmission constraints between states
Demand is deterministic — no stochastic demand shocks or weather uncertainty
Capacity factors are static — real solar CF will improve as panel technology advances; we fix it at 2025 GenCost values
Coal retirements are endogenous — the model depreciates coal continuously rather than modelling discrete unit closures with announced retirement dates
