Developing SyntheticTemperature-CorrelatedWind Generation Data Steering Committee MeetingJanuary 29, 2010
Integrating Wind Uncertainty intoAdequacy Analysis • Objective: Develop a wind-generation data series analogous to the 70-year streamflow record • Two approaches have been tested: • Statistical (Moving Block Bootstrap) • Historical Meteorology (Atmospheric Modeling) • Both approaches have pros and cons but the statistical method is being used Steering Committee
Modeling Uncertainties • GENESYS simulates resource dispatch on an hourly basis over many different potential futures • Random variables include: • Hydro conditions (70-year natural streamflow record) • Thermal operation (forced outages) • Temperature (results in load variation) • Wind generation variation • Historical data indicates that wind generation is correlated with temperature • Monthly average streamflows are assumed to be independent of monthly average temperature Steering Committee
Statistical Approach for Wind • To develop a temperature-correlated wind data set, a statistical method is used (kNN bootstrap) • This method incorporates the dependence that has been observed in the historical record into the synthetic wind data set • Creates a larger wind-generation data set by using temperature records that predate the wind fleet • Keeps the statistical correlation of wind and load in developing a synthetic wind record Steering Committee
Status Update • BPA has run a study using hourly load center temperature data (limited data set). • The method is being reworked to use daily load center temperature max and min observations to increase data range • The synthetic temperature-correlated wind data set for Genesys use should be available by the end of April.
