  2. The Challenge

  3. Hawaii’s Economy in 2008 GROSS STATE PRODUCT $63.8 BILLION SPENDING ON ENERGY $ 8.4 BILLION

  4. Hawaii’s Energy Use Today Primary energy: 90% fossil fuel, Imported crude oil refined: JET FUEL 34% ELECTRICITY 32% GASOLINE/ 27% MARINE FUEL OTHER 7%

  5. Hawaii’s Electricity Issues are Fundamentally Different than the Mainland US

  6. The Solutions

  7. A Paradigm Shift is Required • Economic drain > Economic engine • Energy insecurity > Energy security • Environmental harm > Environmental compatibility • Price volatility > Price stability

  8. As of 2009 – Hawaiian Electric companies 19 % Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency (~50% / 50%) State Goal by 2030 – for Hawaii’s economy 40% Renewable Energy 30% Energy Efficiency Where Are We Today?

  9. How We Can Move Ahead: • Grid transformation • Renewable energy including liquid fuels substitute • Inter-island connection

  10. Oahu’s Challenge * U.S. Census estimates as of July 2007 Molokai Kauai Population 905,601 * Maui Oahu Tri-island population 141,783 * Lanai Geothermal Wind Hawaii Biomass/Biofuel Solar Population 173,057 * DSM/Energy Efficiency OTEC/Wave MSW 10

  11. Hawaii’s Wind Energy Resources 11

  12. Wind on Molokai and Lanai 7/31/2014 12

  13. Renewable Game Plan for Hawaii • The load is on Oahu, but the renewable resource is limited. • The neighbor islands have abundant renewable resources, but limited load. Ultimately, the islands can benefit by being cabled together.

  14. How Can We Do It? • ‘Interisland Wind’ Lanai & Molokai wind farms • 200 MW each • Undersea cable to Oahu Learn more at: www.interislandwind.com

  20. Scenario Analysis These four scenarios were the focus of the study (Scenarios 2 and 4 were only moderately different than these three scenarios). Interest from the team to focus effort on mitigating strategies as opposed to these only moderately Oahu 600MW of new Renewables~1200MW Peak These 3 scenarios were analyzed to determine the commitment/dispatch, identify new operating characteristics, and establish a new baseline to assess strategies to enhance operation with high penetrations of renewables +100MW new Wind +100MW new PV sub- sea cables Molokai+200MW new Wind Lanai +200MW new Wind

  21. Tools Needed For Each Timescale New tools and data needed to properly model and assess system impacts within operational time constraints.

  22. Modeling Tools

  23. Wind and Solar Data Development • Wind and solar data monitoring units • Develop high resolution wind and solar time series data for modeling work

  24. Model Data RequirementsSummary of Thermal Unit

  25. Integration Challenges … • Wind energy curtailment at high penetrations • Zero marginal cost energy not being accepted • More frequent operation of thermal units at minimum power • What if there is a loss of load on the system? • Large system contingencies • What if the undersea cable trips? • Variability of wind energy • Large sustained drops in wind/solar power during load rises • Reduced thermal unit efficiency & potentially higher O&M costs • Higher sub-hourly maneuvering to balance wind/solar power

  26. Evaluating Candidate Strategies • Wind power forecasting to improve unit commitment • Refine up reserve requirements based on wind power variability • Reduce minimum power of baseload units • Seasonally cycle-off select baseload units • Reduce reserve requirement (use of fast-start units and load control) • Increase thermal unit ramp rate capability • Consider advanced wind turbine technologies to provide “grid support” (e.g., inertia, over-frequency control)

  27. Dynamic Response Study PREMISE Improving the dynamic responses of generating units on the HECO grid will facilitate the interconnection of greater amounts of variable generation with reduced amounts of other technologies to mitigate adverse operational impacts. 27

  28. Objectives Confirm I&C logic for “AGC” of governors Characterize existing inertial, droop, and AGC (i.e., “ramp rate”) responses Develop control strategies and tune systems for improved response (model input) Identify factors and equipment that limit unit response Identify capital projects to address limitations 28

  43. How is frequency performance affected by installed wind power and scenario assumptions? Wind Power Variability Proposed Ramp Rates & Droops Input Data No solar variability, No AES governor response PSLF • Good correlation between increased wind power variability and associated frequency performance • 3B and 5B scenarios have better frequency performance than 3F3 and 5F3 scenarios. This is because fewer units are against their limits (more up regulation in 3B and 5B as compared to 3F3 and 5F3).

  44. How much does maneuvering of HECO units increase in scenarios with more wind power? • A high percentage of total system variability (>80%) is counteracted by HECO units in all scenarios and for fast and slow variations. • System variability is higher if solar variability is considered. HECO units perform most of the maneuvering. Proposed AGC ramp-rates, no solar variability, no AES governor response Maneuvering of HECO units doubled in scenarios with offshore wind for slow and fast variations

  45. What units increase maneuvering in scenarios with more wind power? Proposed AGC ramp-rates, no solar variability, no AES governor response PSLF Variability of HECO units increased to counteract additional wind power variability in scenarios 3 and 5
