Photovoltaic Resource

CIM Model (Network Model Management System-NMMS)– Similar to current Generation Resource

• Single point of injection into grid

• Single Settlement Point

• High and low limits

– There are other attributes (or lack of) that need more discussions when it comes to modeling:

• New Resource Type

• No Synchronous machine with inertia

• Invertor modeling

• Reactive capability curve different

• Short circuit parameters

• Other?

Photovoltaic Resource

Energy Management System (EMS)

Applications like State Estimation, Power Flow, Contingency Analysis will have no change or minimal change. Currently identified EMS applications that need to be modified or new are:

– MODIFICATION: Ancillary Service Capacity Monitor• There may be a need to modify this application to take into account

intermittent nature of solar due to cloud cover etc. Note: currently Wind Resources have resorted to not carrying Ancillary Service Responsibilities.

– MODIFICATION: Online Transient/Voltage Stability Analysis• There may be a need to change this application if current

capabilities cannot model Photovoltaic Resource correctly

Photovoltaic Resource

Energy Management System (EMS)– NEW: Solar potential forecasting application

• Short Term : 5 minute granularity for a rolling window looking out for the next 2 hours

• Mid Term : 1 hour granularity for a rolling window looking out for the next 2-7 days.

• Input to Solar potential forecasting application (every 30 seconds via telemetry or other process?):

– Cloud cover monitor– Solar farm latitude, longitude, alignment of solar panels, and

placement angle off horizontal– Air temperature, Back of panel temperature– Wind speed, Wind direction– Global horizontal Irradiance– For concentrated PV installations, in addition to the above, direct

normal Irradiance shall be telemetered

Photovoltaic Resource

Market Management System (MMS)

The products that are available are Energy (MWHr) and Ancillary Service Capacity (MW). •Energy (MWHr) is procured in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) in terms of MW on a hourly granularity

•Energy (MWHr) is procured in the Real-Time Maket (SCED) in terms of MW every 5 minutes and is settled on a 15-minute basis

•Ancilary Service Capacity (Regulation Up, Regulation Down, Responsive Reserve, Non-Spin) is procured in terms of MW on a hourly granularity in the Day-Ahead Market, Supplementary Ancillary Service Market in the adjustment period and Resources can assume AS responsibility via bilateral trades

Photovoltaic Resource

Market Management System (MMS)

As far as the Day-Ahead Market and Real-Time Markets, our current understanding is that Photovoltaic Resources will not require any modifications to the Market Systems.

Expectations is that Photovoltaic Resources will be very similar to Wind Resources as far as the Market Systems (including Reliability Unit Commitment) are concerned.

Energy Storage Resource

Salient Features of a Energy Storage resource

•Do not generate electrical energy like power plants (burning fuel or converting external energy source like wind)

– Electrical energy is produced by time-shifting i.e. electrical energy withdrawn from the grid over a particular time period and stored (in some form) and subsequently injected back into the grid at another later period of time

•Electrical energy consumed is not like loads – Electrical energy not used for producing products or heating or

cooling or lighting. Electrical energy is stored for later release back into the grid.

•Bi-directional, i.e. they can produce or consume electrical energy•Electrical energy can be stored for some period of time

Energy Storage Resource

Salient Features of a Energy Storage resource (continued)

•Typically, are fast in responding to control signals– Discharge and charging rates are high.

•Typically, Reactive capability in all four quadrants

Energy Storage Resource

CIM Model (Network Model Management System-NMMS)– Detailed discussions with Resource Entities, QSEs are required

to get a common understanding of the modeling requirements– Modeling of Storage Resources can also include aggregation of

small storage resources (similar to Aggregated Load Resources)

Energy Storage Resource

Market Management System (MMS)

Due to the limited energy available from Energy Storage Resources, care will have to be taken as to which products are most suitable. There are compliance penalties if Resources do not perform to their obligations

Currently there is a pilot project in the works “ Fast Responding Regulation Service” to evaluate the performance of Resources capable of extremely fast regulation service. Storage Resources like Batteries can participate.

Introduction of any new technology neutral product will need to be vetted through the stakeholder process
