  17. Variable Generation Integration Laura Beane Manager, Western Market Structure May 11, 2010 Regulation & Market Structure

  18. Overview Wind Integration Costs (WIC) are caused by wind’s variability and the difficulty of forecasting its output precisely which drives the need for flexible generation Historically, the costs associated with integrating wind have been paid by load Regions with increasing penetration levels of variable generation are starting to re-evaluate the current load-based cost allocation regime and are beginning to allocate integration costs to the generator Cost-causation reason for allocation shift 18

  19. Wind Energy’s Impact to the Power System Wind energy has four characteristics that affect how it is integrated into power systems: its variability its near-zero variable cost the difficulty of forecasting its output precisely its remoteness These characteristics can be better accommodated in some markets structures than others The diversity of the US markets has made integration a difficult and fragmented effort

  21. FERC NOI on the Integration of Variable Energy Resources • FERC’s recent NOI solicited comments on virtually all aspects of integration of variable resources • Data & Forecasting • Scheduling Flexibility • Scheduling Incentives • Day-Ahead Market Participation • Reliability Commitments • Balancing Authority Coordination • Reserve Products & Ancillary Services • Capacity Markets • Real-time Adjustments • Iberdrola Renewables submitted comprehensive comments addressing each of the subject areas • The NOI may lead to a rulemaking to establish a policy framework to ensure integration is addressed consistent with the principles of the Federal Power Act

  23. Wind Integration in ISO/RTO Markets ISO/RTO markets have more favorable integrations characteristics that can better accommodate higher penetrations of wind generation at lower integration costs Large electric balancing area with access to neighboring markets Robust electric grid Short-term electricity generation markets Access to Flexible generation and load However, dysfunctional ISO/RTO markets, such as MISO, could result in increased exposure to wind integration cost at lower penetration levels MISO has a high concentration of transmission constrained wind generation (ND, SD, MN) Examples of dysfunction that could result in emerging wind integration costs include: Large concentrations of wind not responding to LMP price signals creating negative LMPs Interconnections do not address deliverability constraints Increase in Minimum Generation Events resulting from a supply surplus that result in requests to reduce output from generators – wind curtailment Merchant projects could have significant exposure to emerging WIC charges in ISO/RTO markets.

  24. Optimal Wind Integration Conditions Large electric balancing area with access to neighboring markets Wind integration costs are significantly lower in large balancing areas More opportunity for excess generation in one region to be offset by shortfalls in generation in another region Larger pool of flexible resources to accommodate variations in electric supply or demand Robust electric grid Allowing power flows to neighboring regions requires robust regional interconnections Short-term electricity generation markets Shorter dispatch and scheduling windows capture time periods when wind power is relatively constant (ten-minute intervals) instead of periods when generation may be inconsistent (sixty-minute intervals). In regions with hourly markets, significant deviations in wind output over an hour are often accommodated through regulation services, which are expensive Since RTOs and Independent System Operators (“ISOs”) often operate both sub-hourly markets, they do not have to rely on expensive regulation services to respond to output variations and thus, typically have lower integration costs.

  25. Optimal Wind Integration Conditions, Cont. Access to Flexible generation and load Systems with more flexible generators, i.e. hydro and natural gas, tend to have lower integration costs Effective integration of wind forecasts into utility operations Reliable wind forecasts allow system operators to significantly reduce their uncertainty about future wind output, thereby lowering the amount of reserves they need to hold to accommodate variations in wind output Flexible transmission services Conditional Firm service Dynamic line ratings

  26. NorthwestIntegration SolutionSelf-Supply Pilot Program

  27. BPA 2009 Rate Case Outcomes • $5.89/MWh WIC rate • Reduced level of allocated operating reserves based on assumed improvements to scheduling accuracy • Enforcement of Persistent Deviation penalties • Implementation of Phase II of Dispatcher Standing Order 216 (DSO-216) • October 1, 2009 BPA implemented DSO-216 to: • limit wind generation to the scheduled value when there is insufficient DEC balancing reserves available to offset the over-generation of wind • curtail wind plant’s schedules/e-Tags when their actual generation output is less than their scheduled amount and there are insufficient INC balancing reserves available to offset the under-generation of wind • BPA unbundled the WIC into the three separate categories of reserves to allow customers the option of providing all reserves or a portion of reserves • Regulation Reserves – reserve required to balance error every 4 seconds • Following Reserves – reserve required to balance error every 10 minutes • Generation Imbalance Reserves – reserve required to balance error outside of 10-minute window through the balance of the hour • Option for generators to self-supply imbalance reserves

  28. Self-Supply Pilot Introduction • Iberdrola Renewables is the only wind generator that has elected to self-supply Generation Imbalance Reserves • Regulation Reserves and Following Reserves will continue to be purchased from BPA • Because Iberdrola is choosing to self-supply only a portion of the balancing reserves, no Balancing Authority (BA) certification is required as BPA will continue to provide the second-to-second balancing of Iberdrola’s generation portfolio • Iberdrola Renewables self-supply program will initially be implemented as pilot program with both parties given the option to discontinue if the program proves to be unworkable • The pilot has a target implementation date of August 1, 2010 and will continue through September 2011

  29. Self-Supply Pilot Structure • Today, all if Iberdrola Renewables’ plants are scheduled on an individual basis • Under self-supply all of Iberdrola Renewables northwest wind resources will be aggregated into a single signal and schedule and will be measured on a net basis • BPA will allocate a portion of Regulation and Following reserves to Iberdrola’s generation portfolio and Iberdrola will be responsible to self-supply generation imbalance reserves to resolve any remaining error between the net schedule and net output of the portfolio • Klamath Cogeneration/Peaking facilities will be utilized to provide a portion of the needed INC and DEC to keep Iberdrola’s portfolio balanced • Iberdrola has entered into contractual relationships with dispatchable resources to provide additional INC and DEC capability

  32. Constellation Energy Control & Dispatch • Iberdrola has engaged Constellation Energy Control & Dispatch (CECD) to provide consulting services and Automatic Generation Control (AGC) infrastructure • CECD provides balancing services for 15 Balancing Authorities across the United States including the nation’s first wind-only Balancing Authority • BPA’s willingness to move forward with the pilot program largely stemmed from their confidence in Constellation’s ability to leverage their experience and successfully balance our portfolio • Constellation’s Responsibilities • Respond on a 4-second basis to the Portfolio Error • Execute dispatch of resources per resource stack • Klamath Cogen & Peakers • External contractual resources • Wind resources • Monitor and respond to applicable compliance parameters • Report all aspects of self-supply portfolio • Tracking of exercise of external resources • Generation Imbalance accounts • Compliance with performance parameters

  33. Self-Supply Timeline • May 2010: BPA Wind Portfolio Netting Target Implementation • Will apply to DSO-216 • Should lower curtailment/limit risk • August 1, 2010: Self-Supply Pilot Implementation Wind Portfolio Netting Target Implementation New WIC Rate in Effect DSO-216 Implementation Self-Supply Pilot Period May 2010 October 2010 August 2010 September 2011 December 2009 BPA Launches Sub-hourly Scheduling Self-Supply Pilot Implementation Date
