  1. Design and Planning Tools John Grosh Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory April 2016

  2. The "Design and Planning Tools" focus area has three main activities designed to support innovation and advancements in these tools. • Scaling Tools for Comprehensive Economic Assessments • Developing and Adapting Tools for Improving Reliability and Resilience • Building Computational Technologies and High-Performance Computing Capabilities to Speed Up Analyses Each activity has specific goals and target achievements to be completed by 2020.

  3. Design and Planning Tools Target achievements: • Expand stochastic production cost models from 100 to 10,000 transmission nodes—a factor of 100—and integrate distribution systems into the models. • Develop easy-to-use decision support tools—enabling cost-benefit analyses of policies and regulations—based on complex high-performance computing (HPC) analyses that incorporate new technologies such as demand response and energy storage. • Scale up stochastic tools for modeling electric and gas system interdependencies from 1,000 electric and 100 gas nodes today to 60,000 electric and 1,000 gas nodes. Activity 1:Scaling Tools for Comprehensive Economic Assessments

  4. Design and Planning Tools Activity 2:Developing and Adapting Tools for Improving Reliability and Resilience Target achievements: • Develop a scalable simulation framework that couples transmission, distribution, and communications systems for integrated modeling at the regional scale. • Develop data-driven tools that automate the construction and validation of models of devices, loads, generation, and customer behavior, making it easier to build models of utility systems. • Improve the performance of contingency analysis tools by a factor of 500 to capture extreme events and enable the automated analysis of cascading events.

  5. Design and Planning Tools Activity 3:Building Computational Technologies and High-Performance Computing Capabilities to Speed Up Analyses Target achievements: • Establish five regional HPC and data centers for grid modernization that include selected commercial grid software and grid datasets to support model development and validation and comprehensive policy analyses. • Develop scalable math libraries and tools for enhanced analyses, as well as co-simulation frameworks to support the coupling of tools and models, the quantification of uncertainty, and the optimization of systems. • Conduct six "prototype-to-practice" projects every year to drive industry adoption of these new tools.

  6. Tell us what you think: • Is the plan on target? • What challenges are important that we may have missed? • Is the 2020 timeframe ambitious enough? • Will the target achievements be useful to you? • Does this research complement other industry research?
