Relevant Definitions

RE Sources introduce uncertainty as defined by:
◦ Predictability - the ability to determine ahead of time the availability of a generation
resource.
◦ Variability - the variation over time of the availability of generation resources and the
quantity of electricity demand.
◦ Intermittency - the limited-controllable variability and partial predictability of a generation
resource.
◦ Increased Ramping - changes in the output of a thermal generation unit, often done to
balance the electricity supply with the electricity demand.
◦ Increased Cycling - the startup and shutdown of thermal generation units, often done
during low load periods such as overnight and on the weekends.

Redefining Metrics: Penetration Metrics-relook

Capacity penetration (%) - is the installed capacity of wind as a percentage of total installed generation.
◦ gives a relative measure of the wind to the rest of the system - fails to capture the capacity factor or operational penetration
levels.

Energy penetration (%) - the ratio of annual wind energy to annual total energy demand on the grid (excludes any net exports).
◦ metric captures the capacity factor and operating penetration levels but as an average measure fails to account for the extremes.

Maximum instantaneous penetration (%) - the maximum observed ratio of wind energy to demand (including exports) over a defined
period (typically one year) at any instant in time (typically on an hour/ half hourly intervals).
◦ This metric captures the extreme of wind generation relative to other generation as exports are included.
◦ This metric can be reported excluding exports but can be misleading and is defined here as Maximum instantaneous penetration
(excluding exports) (%). Both these metrics differ from the others as they are observed values which makes them somewhat more
meaningful.

Söder Metric - the ratio of maximum wind (i.e. installed capacity) to minimum demand plus maximum export.

Redefining Ramping metric--Identifying RE Ramping Event
Definition of Ramp? Intervals? Maxima and Minima selection and at what
time?
 Could we identify Wind-PV induced ramping event?
 How do we count the no of such cycles?

Ramping Metric-- Counting the Cycles

Estimate no of coal unit load follow cycles-attributable to wind ,using the following
methodology( Ref P Com):
◦ Create an hourly net load forecast.
◦ Net load = forecast obligation load - forecast wind generation.
◦ For each hour,
◦ compare net load to maximum aggregate generation capacity of the baseload plants
◦ If lower , then assume that one or more baseload units will have to decrease output, or
cycle, to follow load.
◦ Unit maintenance schedules, scheduled power purchase contracts and estimated forced
outages (EFOR) are accounted for in the calculation (EFOR by derating each unit).
◦ The maximum baseload capacity for a given hour is the sum of the expected online units
only.

…Counting cycles
For each day of the year,
 Determine maximum load follow, in MW, based on the hourly calculations.
 Determine no of base-load units to cycle for L-G-B Annual cycles are the sum of this
daily calculation. Assuming baseload units cycle a maximum of once per day.
 Repeat the calculations assuming no wind generation
 Net load is equal to obligation load, count cycles that would have occurred.
 The difference between these two cycle counts (with and without wind) is the
estimate of the number of cycles attributable to wind.
