Translating Portfolio Analysis to a Cost Effectiveness Frontier Ken Corum, NW Power and Conservation Council
Cost Effectiveness of DR • “Compare cost of DR to cost avoided by DR” • Comprehensive evaluation of avoided cost • entire power system • over time • uncertainty • For practical guidance, a simple rule approximating comprehensive method 2
Council’s Portfolio Model • Uncertainties translated into 750 futures (20 years) • Resources include: • natural gas • conventional & advanced coal • wind • conservation • demand response • 1000-4000 portfolios tested against futures 3
Council’s Portfolio Model • Each portfolio => 750 NPVs of costs • distribution w/ average cost, risk 4
Work in Progress • More variety in DR programs • Limits on DR calls • Can we capture potential benefits of DR in ancillary services? 8
