  4. Current work for CAISO on Uncertainty Prediction Tools for System Operation Wind and Solar: Probabilistic Analysis and Visualization Ramp and Uncertainty Prediction Tool Transmission Tool: Probabilistic limits for Voltage, Stability, Congestion, Reactive Power Margin Capacity Ramp Rate and Ramp Duration

  5. Focus Areas • Balancing process: • Day-ahead schedules • Unit commitment • Economic dispatch • Real-time dispatch • Unit commitment • Economic dispatch • Spinning reserve • Regulation • Contingency reserve Sources of uncertainty (discrete and continuous): • Traditional: • Load forecast • Unexpected forced outages • Generation units failure to startup • New challenges: • Wind generation forecast • Solar generation forecast • Wind ramps • Control performance • Reliability

  7. Models for Balancing Requirements Uncertainty: Multidimensional Uncertainty Analysis (1) • Existing approaches are frequently limited to one dimension of the uncertainty problem – capacity. • But capacity is not a single sufficient descriptor of the problem. • Operational performance of a power system can be demonstrated through four basic metrics, forming the “first performance envelope”. • Capacity (π). • Ramp rate (ρ. • Ramp duration (δ). • Energy (Є). * Y.V.

  13. Summary • The ramp and uncertainty tool has been developed and deployed at CAISO control room. • The tool received a positive feedback from the CAISO specialists. • For instance, it has been found that the tool is capable to predict intra-hour deficiency in generation capability. • Based on a preliminary CAISO assessment, the tool was able to predict more than 90% price spikes in the real-time market. • We are open for a continuing discussion in the WECC system.

  14. Future Work • New uncertainty prediction approaches based on modern statistical methods. • Feed in uncertainty and ramp information for wind and solar generation weather-based forecasts. • Investigate the impact of BAAL standard, interchange control and inadvertent interchange accumulations on the uncertainty analysis and propose solutions. • Implement active and pro-active integration approaches to incorporate uncertainty information back into the unit commitment and dispatch processes. • Quantify the cost of uncertainty and develop mechanisms for allocating the cost to specific sources and their aggregates.
