System Balancing A Two-Step Approach Scheduling Unit Commitment Economic Dispatch Error Balancing Stabilization Tracking
Intra-Dispatch Real Power Balancing • Need for Tracking • Prediction Error in Load • Intra-Dispatch Variationsin Load • Conventional Approach • Hour Ahead Load Curve projected- Data-History • Generators are Ramped Up • Average Ramp-Rates- MW/5-minute • Remaining Error picked-up by AGC
Renewable Portfolio Std. : Expected Scenario • Tehachapi Wind Generation in April ‘05 • NYISO-17% Projected Increase in Load Following Requirements[1] (2009-2020) Picture: D. Hawkins & C. Loutan, Integration of Renewable Resources, PSERC Tele-Seminar-Webinar Presentation,, October 2007 [1] Growing Wind- Final Report of the New York ISO 2010 Wind Generation Study, September 2010 ISO New York
How Wind affects Intra-Dispatch Tracking? • Tracking System Imbalances under Wind Penetration • Increased Variability in 5-minute time-frame • Wind Speed: Lack of Rich Data History • Short-Term Forecasting Error Prone • Inconsistent Correlation with Load Swings • Consequences • Increase in Load/Wind following Requirements • Hard-to-define Ramp Rates for Wind • Law of Averages MW/5-minute may not hold good • Large Error left-over for AGC

Sources & Sinks of Energy • Sources • Sinks • Controllable • Dispatchable • Time-Scale of Technology (Combustion/Steam/Hydro/Nuclear/Storage) • Controllable • Responsive • Size & Time-Scale Type (Inductive or Resistive) • Residential/Commercial/Industrial
Intra-Dispatch Power Balancing • Proposed Approach • Automated Feedback Control • Based on Quasi Stationary Concept • Formal Mathematical Model forPower Balancing • Power Imbalance: Feedback Signal • AGC responds to Frequency Offsets

Intra-Dispatch Demand Response • Sources(Dispatch able/Controllable) & Sinks of Energy • What we need to balance ?Load (history known), wind (predicted-based on wind speed information) • High Degree of Heterogeneity in System? • HOW TO BALANCE IT SUSTAINABLY? (Ostrom, simplistic approach for balancing) • Secondary Control (ACE based, CPS criteria, no well defined control protocols for load following at system level ) • Cradle to Grave analysis of how the energy is produced and consumed ? • Align time scales of generation with that of imbalances or change system condition • Real Life System (Azores Island) Hydro vs Diesel • Conventional thinking in terms of Mechanical/Electrical sub-systems (Mechanical for SSSA and Electrical mainly for Transient). These involves dynamics. On a longer time scale the operator worries about ED and UC. Since the load pattern is known in advance due to past operating experience. Ramp rate is just being used as a steady state constraint so far in optimal scheduling of system resources , which we call as economic dispatch. • Fluctuations vs Sustained Deviations (later becoming more of a problem as wind percentage increase (CAISO). Problem will move from present stabilization to tracking in the future (just think of it as an hard-to-predict negative load). Need more stand-by reserves or ramp-up online energy resources • What do we mean time scale alignment ??? Rate of Consumption of Energy = Rate of Production of Energy – Rate of Production of Wind Energy (at nominal frequency i.e. 60 Hz) • LOOK AT MONOGRAPH CHAPTER FOR SUBSECTIONS (wind info, feed fwd/back, savings on regulation reserves, violation of CPS criteria, Detailed Governor Model (primary source))
