Strategic Decarbonization of NYC Steam Systems: Integrated Modeling for Long-Term Investment and Operational Flexibility

Presentation Description: The project supported Con Edison in developing a strategic roadmap for steam system decarbonization, aligned with New York's CLCPA and Local Law 97. Leveraging an integrated modeling framework, including multi-energy generation expansion and dispatch optimization, the methodology assesses various technology pathways, regulatory scenarios, and infrastructure configurations calculating capital requirements to meet emission targets. Preliminary insights suggest that near-term electrification, strategic deployment of thermal energy storage, and adaptive use of carbon-free fuels could significantly reduce emissions.
