Hawaii Island’s Energy Frontier
� Isolated geography
� Challenging physical environment
� High growth rates in energy demand
� Low population density
� High potential for diverse, renewable energy development
3
HELCO Transmission System
� Isolated transmission grid
� 4 major cross-island ties
� Limited capacity in some areas ..
l
69 kV Transmission System

HELCO Power Supply System
� Diverse generating sources
� Geographical mismatch of sources and customer loads
� Mix of HELCO-owned and IPP facilities
� Aging equipment ..

Expanding the Use of Renewable Energy HELCO’s Challenges
� Wind resources at weak sections of the grid
� Wind, solar, and hydrorequire firm back-up
� Volatile power outputdisrupts power quality
� Geothermal resources difficult to manage
11
Today’s Wind
•Lalamilo 2.3 MW
•Kamaoa 7.0 MW
Future Wind
•Hawi 10 MW
•Lalamilo 3 - 30 MW
•Kamaoa 20 MW

Wind Energy Issues � As-available resource; needs back up
� Regulating units are worked harder to maintainsystem stability
� Ride through for faults and frequency excursions
� Excess wind energy leads to curtailments
� Energy storage could firm resource but is costly
� WTG’s are tallest structure on the view plane
15
Increased Wind Energy on HELCO System
� HELCO Goal Æ Add wind energy to the HELCO power grid, and preserve Power Quality and Reliability
� Potential system impacts � Increased capacity of as-available power � Increased duty on regulating units � Need additional operating reserve
� Further curtailment of wind generation

Electronic Shock Absorber � ESA to integrate fluctuating
wind power into the electric grid � Device and controls
would mitigate short durationfrequency and voltagedeviations
� HECO received U.S. patent
� Three phase demonstrationplanned; with private company
� Communicated with WTG manufacturers for ESA applications

Hydroelectric Power
� Run-of-stream resources are in East Hawaii
� Public resistance to diverting/damming streams
� Limited potential to upgrade units
� Small “In-Line” hydro units in water supply pipelines look promising
� Pumped-storage hydro to be considered
27
In-Line Hydroelectric Power HELCO & Dept. of Water Supply
28
Geothermal
� Firm, base-loaded generation
� Resources in Puna, far from major load centers
� Community acceptance increasing
� Significant technical and commercial risks

Summary � >20% of Hawaii Island energy from renewable
resources today
� Wind energy levels expected to increase from 2%to >25% within next few years
� Many technical issues to overcome in order topreserve power quality
� Geothermal will continue to play major role
� Utility – Business partnerships critical to advancing new technologies
