Modeling the Least-Cost Operation of Bangladesh’s Electricity Grid with Higher Levels of Renewable Energy

Summary

Bangladesh faces the challenge of efficiently integrating renewable energy into its grid while managing increasing demand and reducing emissions. This NREL study models the least-cost operation of Bangladesh’s electricity grid under different scenarios, including a future with higher renewable energy penetration, to inform planning. The completed analysis reveals potential for significant operating cost reductions through optimized dispatch and highlights the current low contribution of renewables and the emissions impact of rising fossil fuel-dependent demand.
