  1. Wind in The Portfolio Mike Jacobs American Wind Energy Association Managing Your Energy Portfolio in a Greener World January 19, 2007

  2. Power industry interest

  3. Overview of Wind Values • Energy Price • Integration • Energy vs. Capacity • Transmission

  4. Energy Price • Fixed energy prices for the life of the project • No added environmental capital requirements, no fuel, no water

  5. Integration • Real experience and repeated studies for wind state-wide or in a large utility show variability of wind is not a big cost factor.

  6. 10% Wind in NYISO • 5-minute state wide variability • St. dev. Increases 1.8 MW with wind

  7. Integrating Variability Statewide hourly variability - Jan Summer morning ramp

  8. Energy vs. Capacity • Primary value as energy. • Capacity values range 10-40% of generator rating depending on correlations. • If not capacity, don’t need back up.

  9. Transmission • We all need transmission. • Low output on peak day = less strain on transmission. • Wind can be a more publicly accepted driver for constructing transmission.
