  1. Flexibility Metric Roundtable • 8:30 - 9:00 AM - Welcome and introduction - Ben Kujala (NWPCC) • 9:00 - 9:30 AM - Avista's flexibility overview - James Gall (Avista) • 9:30 - 10:00 AM - Methods and metrics to assess power system flexibility - Aidan Tuohy (EPRI) • 10:00 - 10:30 AM - Roundtable discussion on flexibility metrics in utilities • 10:30 - 10:45 AM - Break • 10:45 - 11:15 AM - Optimizing flexibility in the short-term and the long-term - Daniel Kirschen (UW) • 11:15 - 11:45 AM - Path Union CRDC: A new approach to assessing flexibility requirements - Michael Schilmoeller (NWPCC) • 11:45 - 12:30 PM - Roundtable discussion on flexibility metrics in research

  2. Defining the Problem • Advantages and disadvantages of common metrics • LOLP consistency or lack thereof • Common Language and Intent • Context helps • System planning vs. plant characteristics • Academic/research vs. operation and utility planning

  3. Measures in Planning • Disconnect from theory to practice:

  4. Supply and Demand • System Balancing • Matching generation to load requires flexibility • System Changes that Impact Flexibility • Variable Generation • Requires flexibility to integrate to current scheduling and marketing practices • Can supply decs and reduce ramps • Demand Response • Can supply incs and decs

  5. Long-term Planning for Flexibility • Conservation • Resource Portfolio Planning • Demand Response • Smart Grid

  6. 9:00 - 9:30 AM - Avista's flexibility overview - James Gall (Avista) 9:30 - 10:00 AM - Methods and metrics to assess power system flexibility - Aidan Tuohy (EPRI)

  7. Flexibility Metrics in Utilities • What are utilities using for planning/IRP purposes? • Do utilities anticipate a change in upcoming planning/IRP activities with regard to flexibility? • What do utilities need from a metric? Who are the audiences these metrics will be presented to?

  8. 10:30 - 10:45 AM - Break • 10:45 - 11:15 AM - Optimizing flexibility in the short-term and the long-term - Daniel Kirschen (UW) • 11:15 - 11:45 AM - Path Union CRDC: A new approach to assessing flexibility requirements - Michael Schilmoeller (NWPCC)

  9. Flexibility Metrics in Research • What is the state of the art in research flexibility metrics? • Is there a stand out standard along the lines of LOLP metrics? • Are the metrics adaptable and implementable in practice?

  10. Closing • Going forward • Was this meeting helpful? Would a follow up meeting be appropriate? • Is there an interest in a mailing list for this subject? • Are there upcoming planning processes that could leverage a broader effort on flexibility? Can we all mutually benefit from a collaborative effort? • Thank you for attending!
