AESO current limits forAlberta-BC transfers Jeff Palermo – KEMA/AESO
Overview • Regional planning and operating criteria • AESO criteria • What limits Alberta-BC exports
Planning and operating criteria • Criteria balance reliability and cost • Criteria include • Starting conditions • Test to be made (contingency) • Conditions defining success system performance • Where criteria come from • NERC – North America • WECC – western states and provinces • AESO – Alberta system
AESO criteria The system is planned and operated so • Under normal conditions (n-0) voltages and loadings are normal [NERC] • No singe contingency (n-1) causes loss of load [NERC]All facilities below applicable rating [NERC] • Following any single contingency – prepare system for next contingency (n-1-1) [NERC] Within 20 minutes [WECC] • Multiple contingencies (n-2) may cause load loss but no cascading[NERC] All facilities below applicable rating [NERC] • Even extremely severe contingencies must not cause cascading from one system into another [NERC]
This is TTC, but ATC will be 0since 65 MW is needed for TRM n-2 n-1-2 To the extent southern generation reduces SOK loading, exports can be increased Consider Base case TTCOPP 304, Table 4
