Printable VersionAnnual Technology Baseline and Standard ScenariosThe National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has finalized the first results of an effort sponsored by theU.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiencyand Renewable Energy (EERE) that implements an annualprocess to document a realistic and timely set of input assumptions (e.g., technology cost and performance, fuelcosts), and a diverse set of potential futures (standard scenarios), that can inform electric sector analysis in theUnited States. The products of this study, includingannual technology assessments for both renewable andconventional electricity generation technologies, as well as, outputs of standard scenarios exercised throughNREL'sRegional Energy Deployment Systems Model(ReEDS), will be applied consistently in NREL's analysesthroughout the next year. This workleverages and continues significant activity already being funded by theEERE technology offices for individual technologies/market segments.This page contains final versions of the key three productsthat resulted from this effort and includes a FrequentlyAsked Questions (FAQ) document as well as the initial final draft versions (which have been available since spring2015 and used in several key analyses).Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) SpreadsheetThis productincludes detailed cost and performance data (both current and projected) for both renewable andconventional technologiespresented in MS Excel.ATB Summary PresentationThis tandem PowerPoint summaryaugments the data in the ATB spreadsheet with a description and discussionof each of the technologies. The objective of this presentation is to describeand provide context for theinformation containedin the spreadsheet.2015 Standard Scenarios Annual Report: U.S. Electric Sector Scenario ExplorationThis documentincludes the identified standard scenarios, assumptions associated witheach scenario, includingtechnology cost and performance assumptions from theATB, and resulting ReEDS outputs for each scenario,including projected capacity and generation for specific technologies.Frequently Asked QuestionsEnergy Analysis HomeCapabilities & ExpertiseKey ActivitiesModels & ToolsData & ResourcesAnnual Technology Baselineand Standard ScenariosPublicationsPartnershipsStaffWorking with UsRelated LinksNewsSearch NREL.govSEARCHLeading Clean Energy InnovationABOUT RESEARCH WORKING WITH US CAREERSPage 1 of 2NREL: Energy Analysis - Annual TechnologyBaseline and Standard Scenarios7/31/2015http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/data_tech_baseline.htmlThis documentprovides answers to several questions that have been raised duringthe draft product reviewperiod in spring 2015.Legacy VersionsThis section contains reviewdraft versions of the key three products first posted in March 2015.
