  1. Study ResultsNorthwest Firmed Resource Option This slide deck contains results from the 2012 TEPPC Study Program related to the Northwest Firmed Resource Option Studies. The generation results for the associated transmission expansion projects follow immediately along with flow information for the added transmission.

  2. Hydro Firming Modeling Goal • Compare different hydro dispatches in different wind conditions given various modeling techniques • Compare path flows and production costs • Implementation Steps • Start with 2022 PC23 NW Resource Option (+12,000 GWh) • Increase WECC annual energy demand 8% • Add 12,000 GWh of renewables to NW • Under the purview of high wind in a particular region, investigate how a nearby region’s hydro responds based on different types of modeling • Investigate how the changes listed above impact path flows

  3. Renewable Options Under High Load • Firmed Cases Increase WECC-wide load 8% 1 Hydro Add: 12,000 GWh to meet WECC RPS Gas 2 3 Add: firming resource 4 Pumped storage Add transmission For these regions

  4. Increase WECC-wide load 8% 1 8% 8% increase to peak and energy 10% 10% decrease to energy Higher Load = Additional RPS Energy

  5. Add 12,000 GWh to meet WECC RPS 2 Extrapolation Method
