Challenges, Issues, andFuture Direction of the SAAC Michael Schilmoeller Thursday, December 2, 2010 SAAC
Possible Topics • New risk metric(s): per kWh cost and risk metric • Use and abuse of the efficient frontier • Minimum loading and start-up cost representation • Loss of load and expected unserved energy metrics • Transmission representation • The nature of the risky futures • Modeling carbon penalties, cap and trade, emission trading credits, and all that
Possible Topics • More on resource representations (hydrogeneration, conservation, wind, etc.) • Foresight assumptions and decision criteria • Economics as the basis for resource selection: what does it capture, what does it miss? • Validation and the development of futures • Conservation performance uncertainty
Possible Topics • Computer applications for preparing data, recording simulation details, and analyzing results • Representation of decision uncertainty (construction cost uncertainty, construction phases, retirements) • Use of decision uncertainty representation to value modularity, capital intensiveness, and lead time for projects
Committee • Concerns, questions, and interests: a roundtable • Next steps, next meetings • Volunteers for presentations
