<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks – depending on your vision for the paper or other output venues, we could add some more detailed information technology options to meet that seasonal demand and relate that with the effects of higher/lower efficiency of charging/discharging
for storage devices – which will impact the amount of storage discussed in the paper.<u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few comments that I hope may help as well just as friendly suggestions – though I’m not sure about the space limitations for the methodology in this conference. For instance when using the phrase “straightforward approach” the
methodology could be communicated a bit more clearly as that introduces ambiguity and lacks specificity. My understanding is that the analysis uses state-of-charge of storage+solar+wind as a way to meet resource adequacy. That could be written more explicitly.
One question that may emerge where this approach differs from others is that solar, wind, and storage are effectively supply rather than changing the demand as is done in prior studies. Other minor point is does this study define resource adequacy as matching
supply with demand or having some extra margin? The phrase inadequate resource adequacy sounds redundant to me.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other area that could be clarified and introduce questions is the statement “to simulate the grid of the future, the thermal, imports, and nuclear data were replaced with added solar generation.” I think many reviewers would want to
know about the calculation on how that generation is replaced, i.e. on a capacity basis or on a generation basis? How many GW of solar to match existing “firm generation?” What is the capacity factor of the solar installed? It might help to include the installed
solar/wind in a table or text. That would greatly influence the storage needed and results. It could also add some more specific information on how much solar you need to decrease the reservoir from 7.3 TWh to 6 TWh. It could be a trivial clarification to
explain how much solar is included in these scenarios, but would be important so that someone can understand how much solar we are talking about and interpret the model.<u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a few of my thoughts, so given the conference deadline don’t feel obligated to answer and maybe some of these questions are off-base, but I think some similar issues may come up in an expanded literature version of this paper.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also have a student that is developing a similar but different load duration + screening curve analysis for North Carolina where storage manipulates the load – if it would be interesting in the future (which is beyond) the code is well
suited to read FERC 714 data and could compare results with California. That is probably a separate discussion, but could be good to compare at some point.<u></u><u></u></p>

along with what contributions you would like to make as we take this toward the final paper. We plan to submit a longer paper to a peer-reviewed journal while keeping a short paper in the PVSC proceedings. Please return your comments by Jan. 24. sorry for
the short turn around - if you need more time, we may be able to submit a revised version a little later.<u></u><u></u></p>
