  • Publication number: 20240428261
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for identifying various combinations of parcels of land with sufficient transmission, resources, market demand, and available land to build a construct a green hydrogen facility, synthetic natural gas facility and/or an ammonia production facility. Different criteria associated with each parcel of land include land characteristics, including size, ownership, transportation networks, power and water network prices, factories/plants, wells, and community-specific information, market characteristics including historical locational marginal pricing (LMPs). In one example, the present invention identifies clusters of land parcels that minimize the number of land owners, maximize buildable land, minimize transmission cost, maximize NCF, and maximize nodal LMPs.

  • Publication number: 20240086934
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for identifying various combinations of parcels of land with sufficient transmission, resources, market demand, and available land to build a wind farm or solar farm. Different criteria associated with each parcel of land include land characteristics including size, ownership, tree coverage, elevations, terrain, buildable land, transmission characteristics including substation hardware costs, network upgrades, general tie-in costs, market characteristics including historical locational marginal pricing (LMPs), and resource characteristics including net capacity factor (NCF) of wind or solar. In one example, the present invention identifies clusters of land parcels that minimize the number of land owners, maximize buildable land, minimize transmission cost, maximize NCF, and maximize nodal LMPs.
