2018 Annual Technology Baseline ATB Cost and Performance Data for Electricity Generation Technologies - Interim Data Without Geothermal Updates
Each year since 2015 NREL has presented Annual Technology Baseline ATB in a workbook that contains detailed cost and performance data both current and projected for renewable and conventional technologies. The workbook includes a spreadsheet for each technology. This workbook provides data for the 2018 ATB. Geothermal updates await publication of GeoVision.In this edition of the ATB two financial assumptions cases are provided 1 effects of research and development alone 2 effects of research and development as well as market conditions.
