Energy Day Richard J. Kruse December 1, 2004
Energy Day • Electric Generation is a large and growing part of the natural gas market. • In 2003 • Total natural gas demand = 21,497 BCF • Power generation usage = 4,106 BCF or 19.1% of total natural gas consumption • By 2010 • Total natural gas demand = 24,698 BCF • Power generation usage = 6,530 BCF or 26.4% of total natural gas consumption
Energy Day • Electric Generators have conflicting scheduling requirements. • Over a 24 hour period, gas fired generators must schedule gas for electric generation prior to being scheduled on the electric side, to generate electricity. • The energy day should start in a non-peak period. • The gas day starts in the middle of the morning peak on the East Coast and the Midwest.
Energy Day • Standard Energy Day will put both gas and electric systems on the same time line. • Currently the electric industry has multiple electric days across the country. • The gas industry has had a standardized gas day since the adoption of GISB Version 1.0 in June of 1996. • Simplifies communications at interconnections the gas grid. • Limits imbalances, serves both the primary and the secondary markets.
Gas Day – 2 Days Gas Day One Gas Day Two
Gas Day – 4 Days Gas Day 1 Gas Day 2 Gas Day 3 Gas Day 4
Electric Day – 2 Days Electric Day One Electric Day Two
Energy Day - Conclusion • Develop a standardized Energy Day • Begin the Energy Day at an off-peak period – 12 midnight to 12 midnight based on Central Standard Time • Benefits: • Enhances communication between the gas and electric industries • Fosters the coordination of scheduling • Allows both industries to more closely match fuel deliveries to generation requirements
