Where does my electricity come from?
Creating generation mixes
What information do I need?
1. Type of nearby generators(Power plants, dams, windmills, solar arrays)
2. Proportion – amount of total generation made up by each type
(40% type A, 30% type B, 30% type C)
Generally state lines used as borders
Guesses for Pennsylvania?
Solar Intensity
Wind Intensity
Precipitation
Coal Deposits
US Generation Mix
Coal, 52%
Oil, 3%
Gas, 16%
Other, 3%Hydro, 7%
Nuclear, 20%
Other: Solar, Wind, Biomass, Geothermal, etc

Pennsylvania Generation Mix
Is that the whole story?
What if power plants near me don’t generate enough electricity to meet my needs?
Pennsylvania does, but what about California and New York?
Include Interstate Trading
Lots of electricity transfer in the United States, especially following deregulation in 1996
Currently, interstate electricity transfer ignored, but it’s a big part of the market 25% of California power is imported West Virginia exports 70% of theirs
These numbers have a significant impact, so new generation mixes, which include trading, are created for each state

California Distances
Import-Export Model: Linear Optimization
Classic transportation/distribution problem
Using two matrices of data (27 x 27)1. Distances from exporters to importers2. Shipments of power from exporters to importers
Minimize the sum-product of these matrices The “cost” of moving electricity from exporters to importers
Subject to the following constraint All electricity in system needs to be “used” – each row/column in
shipments matrix must sum to net surplus/deficit calculated from EPA data
By changing the amounts in the shipments matrix
