Loads and Resources Subcommittee Report Wally Gibson, NWPCC PCC Meeting June 10-11, 2010
Overview • Upcoming issues • Power Supply Assessment • Probabilistic adequacy planning – NERC and RPIC interested • LRS charter – approval item
Power Supply Assessment • Beginning PSA work - target mid-August • New Issues this year • Conversion to using Promod instead of SAM • Will allow better internal coordination of data and analysis • More demanding data requirements may imply fewer or different scenarios than past (temp, etc) • More, but potentially conflicting, data on wind & solar capacity contribution (also VGS issue) • NREL meso-scale data • Individual utility experience
Probabilistic Adequacy Methods • NERC Generation and Transmission Reliability Planning Models TF (GTRPMTF) • Developing proposal for probabilistic planning and metrics to be associated with LTRA – present June PC meeting, adopt September PC meeting • Some opportunity to comment • Not clear how much of a burden this will be • Not clear when would be required – earlier draft suggested 2012 LRTA • RPIC interested also – deferring to NERC effort
LRS Charter • Purpose – advise WECC Board on resource adequacy in Western interconnection • Responsibilities • Oversight of WECC loads and resources reports • Address resource adequacy activities at NERC • Investigation of resource adequacy issues • Primary WECC entity disseminating L&R information to interested parties in West • Work with regulators, BAs and LSEs to promote access to reliable data on resource adequacy
LRS Charter – Draft Motion • PCC approves the draft LRS charter as modified • “The PCC Chair shall appoint the Chair and the Chair shall appoint the Vice-Chair of LRS.”
