  1. ROOFTOP PV Forecasting August 2012 Presented by Andrew reddaway

  2. Rooftop PV and AEMO • Rooftop PV masks household and business demand. • Impacts energy and Maximum Demand (MD) MD. • Rooftop PV generation is now included in forecasts for electricity demand. • Separate rooftop PV from demand history. • Include as a separate item in forecasts.

  3. Rooftop PV Info Paper 2012 • Published on AEMO’s website: http://www.aemo.com.au/en/Electricity/Forecasting/2012-Information-Papers

  4. Process Overview

  5. Historical Capacity There is no perfect data source for installed capacity. Requested from all 13 DBs in the NEM. • Monthly from 2008. • Filled in data holes. ORER • Higher than DB data in early period. • Time lags are inherent.

  6. Historical Capacity - NEM

  7. Interesting solar install no. 1

  8. Sunlight • Actual monthly sunlight intensity data from BOM

  9. Historical Generation - Model • Initial model is simple. • Capital city proxy for region • Annual generation from CEC consumer guide • kWh expected from a 1 kW system, daily avg. over a year

  10. Historical Generation - Model • Monthly % splits from “pvwatts” engine • Draws on its own climate data • Assume north orientation, tilt = latitude

  11. Historical Generation – Model Validation • Sample rooftop system generation data from pvoutput.org

  12. Interesting solar install no. 2

  13. Historical Generation – Model Validation, Melbourne

  14. Installed Capacity forecasts • Forecasts of Rooftop PV growth consider the following drivers: • Electricity price increases • Technology costs for solar • Government subsidies • And barriers • Saturation • Network constraints

  15. Saturation Assumptions for saturation level: • 75% of suitable dwellings have a rooftop PV system • Average system size: 3.5 kW • Allowance for commercial buildings • Study by Entura: City of Port Phillip – 4 kW per dwelling.

  16. Economic Payback For individual household installations:

  17. NEM installed capacity forecast

  18. Non-AEMO Capacity Forecasts

  19. Interesting Solar Installation 3

  20. NEM Energy – Rooftop PV

  21. VIC Energy – Rooftop PV

  22. Vic Energy – Scenario 3 Planning Rooftop PV 5.01% Rooftop PV 2.58%

  23. VIC MD day generation curve

  24. VIC MD Forecast – Rooftop PV 6.79% of total MD 3.14% of total MD

  25. Recap: Key points • Rooftop PV offsets energy and MD. • Fast-changing area. Impacted by government policy. • Already significant uptake (1.5 GW in the NEM), and growing (say 12 GW in 2031). • Lots of headroom before hitting saturation level. • Network constraints are an issue. • Potential to align PV generation better with system MD. • Room to improve our analysis and understanding, especially for MD. • PV now included as a component in AEMO forecasts.
