After taking a much closer look at the first round of reinforcement cost results, Trieu et al. decided that smaller wind/solar farms should not have to pay the same reinforcement costs as larger wind/solar farms. Instead, they wanted the cost to be a fraction proportional to the farm size, so the reinforcement costs are now computed and reported as $/MW instead of a flat dollar amount, which can then scale with the built-out plant size.
