Solid power system planning is fundamental to the safety, reliability and economy of power system operation. In the deregulated power grid environments, power grid planners not only have to handle massive geographic data, power equipment parameter data and grid operational data, but also have to solve very complex decision-making problems when they are committing power grid planning. Thus, it is necessary...
In this paper, Southwest Power Pool's (SPP) experience in analyzing generation adequacy is presented. This analysis is conducted by examining a common reliability index, Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE). The SPP system performance was gauged against the popular industry standard of one day in ten years. SPP's interpretation of this standard and its relevance is discussed along with the results of the...
Power planning engineers are trained to design an electric system that satisfies predicted electrical demand under stringent conditions of availability and power quality. Like responsible custodians, we plan for the provision of electrical sustenance and shelter to those in whose care regulators have given us the responsibility to serve. Though most customers accept this nurturing gladly, a growing...
ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE) is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for the reliable operation of New England's bulk power generation and transmission system. ISO-NE also administers the region's wholesale electricity markets and manages the comprehensive planning of the regional bulk power system. The planning process is open and transparent and involves advisory input from all regional stakeholders,...
Declining reserve margins, newly introduced forward capacity markets, federal and state regulations, evolving environmental policies - especially on CO2 emission, establishment of the electric reliability organization, the recent credit market crisis, and fierce peer competition all present both opportunities and risks for energy suppliers. Not meant to be a complete list, highlighted and explained...
Load-frequency control has traditionally included only real-time requirements. With the restructuring of electric markets, load-frequency control requirements should be expanded to include the planning functions necessary to insure the resources needed for LFC implementation are within the functional requirements. A straw-man is offered to begin the expansion of this important operations planning...
