Arizona Corporation Commission and Central Arizona Transmission System (CATS) Reliability Must Run (RMR) WorkshopJanuary 15, 2004 Bob Smith Arizona Public Service Co.
Outline of Presentation • 2004 RMR Study Process • Description of network and constraint • SIL/MLSC determination • RMR - demand, energy and duration • Economic/environmental impact of transmission constraint • Observations
2004 RMR Study Process • Transmission Provider Coordination - Basic Case Development - July 1, 2003 meeting - Draft Study Plan
2004 RMR Study Process (cont.) • Process open to all stakeholders - July 23, 2003 CATS Meeting • Study Plan approved • 2005, 2008, 2012 Selected for detailed analysis • Study APS/SRP combined Phoenix Area - August 22, 2003 CATS Meeting • Propose RMR load and Generation Definition - September 30, 2003 CATS Meeting • Preliminary Results • Model Welton Mohawk in Yuma
RMR Economic Analysis • GE MAPS production-cost simulator • Entire WECC modeled • Hourly least cost dispatch with transmission constraints • Annual cost to serve area load determined • Study repeated ignoring local import limit • Difference is the RMR cost • Environmental impact determined for each generator using emission rates
2005 APS Yuma Energy APS Yuma Area Total Load = 1,517 GWh $995,000 incremental cost
2008 APS Yuma Energy APS Yuma Area Total Load = 1,663 GWh $0.0 incremental cost
2012 APS Yuma Energy APS Yuma Area Total Load = 1,869 GWh $0.0 incremental cost
Yuma RMR Observations • APS load is expected to exceed import capability for 714 hours in 2005, 676 hours in 2008, and 12 hours in 2012. • Estimated cost to run local generation outside of economic dispatch is approximately $1.0 million in 2005 and $0 in 2008 and 2012. • 2nd North Gila transformer in 2005 and new 230kV line in 2012 effectively manage RMR conditions. • Removing the transmission constraint in 2005 would reduce PM10 emissions by 0.001%.

2005 Phoenix Area Energy Phoenix Area Total Load = 47,833 GWh $0.0 incremental cost
2008 Phoenix Area Energy Phoenix Area Total Load = 54,310 GWh $0.0 incremental cost
2012 Phoenix Area Energy Phoenix Area Total Load = 63,037 GWh $84,000 incremental cost
Environmental Impact of Transmission Constraint for Phoenix Area
Phoenix RMR Observations • APS load is expected to exceed import capability for 678 hours in 2005, 338 hours in 2008, and 758 hours in 2012. RMR energy represents approximately 1% of the total energy. • Estimated cost to run local generation outside of economic dispatch is less than $100,000 in each year. • Such small annual RMR costs do not justify Construction costs to relieve RMR. • The projected reserves in 2012 are 346 MW compared to a 99% reliability reserve requirement of 865 MW. • Removing the transmission constraint would reduce emissions in the Phoenix Area by 0.007% or less.
Phoenix RMR Observations(Continued) • Benefits of local generation • Increase reliability • Local voltage support • Contingency response • Operating flexibility • Reduced losses • Lower transmission investment
