RTEP 03 Congestion Cost Methodology
Presentation to the Transmission Expansion
Advisory Committee January 23, 2003 Wayne
Coste Principal, IREMM, Inc.
11
Where We Have Been - RTEP 01
  • RTEP01 identified key transmission constraints
  • Economic congestion was estimated
  • Economic congestion created higher prices for
    some sub-areas
  • Interface ratings were significant (static)
  • Focus was on LMP effect of price volatility
    during high loads
  • ISO-NE Congestion Management System
  • Assumed SMD in place at the start of 2002
  • - ARR / FTR revenue reallocation same as
    RTEP01/02
  • Various assumptions tested using sensitivity
    cases
  • Tested the impact on several alternative bidding
    strategies
  • Did not include transmission uplift (generally
    off-peak),losses,load forecast uncertainty or
    sub-area internal limits
  • Tested relaxation of transmission constraints

12
Where We Have Been - RTEP 02
  • Used basic RTEP01 economic framework
  • Modeling refinements
  • Assumption updates for
  • fuel
  • new units
  • transmission upgrades
  • interchange assumptions
  • Interchange combination of fixed import and CC
    based value
  • Effect of full unit outages on congestion
  • Limited representation of operating reserve
  • Monthly hydro profile developed
  • RTEP02 quantified impact of relaxation of
    transmission constraints

13
RTEP03 Goals
  • Forecast on-peak congestion (same as RTEP02)
  • Quantify off-peak uplift
  • Renamed in SMD Operating Reserve Charges and
    Credits
  • Will remain due to need to securely dispatch the
    system
  • Market screens approved by FERC on Dec 20th
  • Develop a more secure unit commitment
  • Include N-2 considerations
  • Loss of largest unit
  • Loss of second transmission element
  • Incorporate Transmission Losses
  • Transmission losses under SMD may be relatively
    high
  • Roll up results to SMD Reliability Zones

14
Improve Secure Dispatch Representation
  • ISO-NE has always operated under a secure
    dispatch
  • SMD will continue this operating practice
  • RTEP03 should reflect this practice
  • RTEP02 respected N-1 transmission limits
  • Operations also considers N-2 transmission
    limits
  • Typically transmission outages are the most
    constraining
  • For second contingency transmission outages
  • Interface ratings are lower
  • Count a portion of quick-start resources
  • Include ramp-rate from on-line units
  • Include OP-4 actions
  • Include allowable amounts of load shedding

15
Unit Commitment Process
  • Three (or more) passes for unit commitment
  • First pass - all units can operate at any level
    when needed
  • Interfaces at N-2 limits.
  • Identify units that could be flagged ON for
    economics
  • Remaining uneconomic units flagged OFF
  • Second pass with flagged OFF units, price
    spikes occur
  • Interfaces at N-2 limits.
  • Identify units that are needed to avoid price
    spikes
  • Remaining uneconomic units flagged OFF
  • Third pass with units flagged ON typically at
    LOL
  • Interfaces at N-1 limits.
  • Committed min block bids in at zero

16
Unit Commitment Data
  • Relatively few units can be added in unit
    commitment process
  • We will examine the following for impacts
  • Start-up cost
  • Minimum run hours
  • Low operating limit
  • Incremental heat rates
  • Use physical limits for LOL (typically 25)

17
LMP
  • LMPs have three components
  • Energy Clearing Price
  • Congestion
  • - in areas of bottled generation
  • in load pockets
  • Losses
  • close to load center
  • - in remote exporting areas

18
Proxy CT Bid Screens in Constrained in Areas
  • Allowable safe harbor bids into import
    constrained areas
  • Addressed in FERC Dec 20th order
  • FERC desires to allow limited scarcity pricing
  • Based on cost of hypothetical new Proxy CT
  • Reduction due to prevailing ICAP revenue offset
  • Net difference in fixed cost is allocated over
    500 or 2000 hr
  • At 500 hours - adder can be in the range of 300
  • At 2000 hours - adder can be in the 50 - 80
    range

19
Indicative LMPs by Load Zone - Energy Component
  • Energy component is
  • uniform in all zones
  • (HISTORICAL
  • DATA)

20
Indicative LMPs by Load Zone - Congestion
Component
  • Congestion
  • component can be
  • significant when
  • transmission
  • contingency is
  • binding
  • (HISTORICAL DATA)

21
Indicative LMPs by Load Zone - Loss Component
  • Loss component is
  • very non-linear and
  • affect importing and
  • exporting regions
  • Differently
  • (HISTORICAL DATA)

22
Indicative LMPs by Load Zone - Loss Component
  • Maine has lowest loss
  • component while Vermont
  • has the highest.
  • (Sept 2002)

23
Including Losses in RTEP03
  • We will use historic loss data by unit
  • Implications of loss component
  • Need to develop loss changes due to transmission
    upgrades
  • Distant generation may be penalized
  • Prevailing prices may rise if marginal units are
  • Electrically distant and
  • High losses

24
SCED Analysis
  • SCED - Security Constrained Economic Dispatch
    program developed by PTI
  • GOAL To identify the specific transmission
    facilities that may constrain and cause
    congestion on the New England system

25
SCED Basics
  • Analysis focuses on optimal operation of the
    system (generator dispatch phase shifters)
  • Transfers and dispatches are calculated as part
    of an optimization process
  • Uses network load flow model employing a dc
    linearized powerflow calculation
  • Provides estimates of costs incurred to securely
    operate around transmission constraints
  • Identifies reliability problems when secure
    system operation is infeasible
  • Identify HUB price divergence

26
SCED Analysis Assumptions
  • Similar Analysis performed as part of RTEP01
  • 2004 Summer Peak to be analyzed at a number of
    varying load levels (50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100)
  • Sensitivities will be studied with larger units
    out of service

RTEP03 Assessments Overview Assumptions Peter
K. Wong
35
RTEP03
  • Reliability Analysis 2003 - 2012
  • Economic Impact Assessment 2003 - 2012

36
Reliability Analysis
  • Reliability analysis (Resource Adequacy
    Assessment) to identify NEPOOL system reliability
    based on meeting the 1 Day in 10 Years Loss of
    Load Expectation criterion (disconnection of firm
    customers).
  • GE Multi-Area Reliability Simulation (MARS)
    program will be used for this analysis.

37
Economic Impact Assessment
  • Congestion cost assessment to identify possible
    congestion trend is based on meeting NEPOOL
    energy requirements.
  • Congestion cost assessment will be conducted
    using a market based energy production simulator
    (IREMM).

38
Economic Impact Assessment
  • Estimate congestion cost as result of
    transmission constraints identified in
    transmission studies.
  • Estimate congestion cost as result of different
    bidding strategies.
  • Congestion based on price differences between
    sub-areas (market areas)
  • Estimate LMP losses component
  • Estimate Uplift impacts

39
Load and Existing Resources
  • Load and existing generating resource capability
    assumptions will be based on the 2003 CELT Report
    forecast.
  • Interruptible/dispatchable load and demand
    response assumptions will be based on the latest
    ISO-NE Settlement data.

40
Unit Addition Assumptions
  • Generating unit additions are based on approved
    18.4 Applications and reflect those that have
    started construction as of January 2003.

41
Unit Addition Assumptions
  • Summer Rating (MW)
  • AES Granite Ridge (NH) 678
  • Milford Units 1 2 (SWCT) 490
  • Mystic Units 8 9 (BOSTON) 1,414
  • Fore River (SEMA) 700
  • English Station 7 8 (CT) 70
  • Great Northern Hydro (BHE) 126
  • Total 3,478
  • All assumed in service by June 1, 2003
  • 18.4 Application submittal expected in Feb/Mar
    2003

42
Generation Out of Service
  • Devon 7 and 8 are assumed deactivated when
    Milford units are in service.
  • New Boston 1 is assumed retired when Sithe Mystic
    9 is in service. (corrections in red)
  • No other generation deactivations or retirements
    are assumed in the base case.

43
Generating Unit Energy
  • Generation from fossil fueled units will be
    calculated as a function of their short run
    marginal costs.
  • Generation from hydro units are modeled using a
    historical monthly generation profile.
  • Generation from pumped-storage units will reflect
    an assumed 10 capacity factor and 75
    efficiency.

44
RTEP AssumptionsGeneration Other Adjustments
  • CELT Capacity Changes
  • Change in effective MW due to different forced
    outage rates

45
Generating Unit Availability
  • Generator unit availabilities are based on 5-year
    average of historical data (1998 - 2002).
  • Data Sources are as follows
  • NABS for 1998 thru April 1999.
  • ISO Short Term Generator Outage Data Base for May
    1999 thru April 2000.
  • ISO Unit Availability Database for May 2000 thru
    December 2002.

46
Generating Unit Availability
  • For new units, unit immaturity is assumed for
    first 3 years of operation. After this period,
    unit historical data and TUA is used to develop
    the 5 year average.
  • Forced outage assumptions for nuclear units with
    extended outage are based on NEPOOL Target Unit
    Availabilities except for the first year of the
    long outage.

47
Generating Unit Availability
  • For the first year of the long nuclear outage,
    any outage longer than 6 months would be
    represented by 6 months of forced outage averaged
    with either historical data or TUA (TUA is used
    if the unit is on outage the remainder of the
    year).

48

97
SEMA / RIEXPORT CAPABILITYENHANCEMENT
98
Objective
  • Assess the existing stability and thermal export
    limits, determine major (long term) and minor
    (short term) upgrades to enhance the export
    capability.
  • Address congestion and reliability issues
    associated with locked-in and locked-out
    generation

99
Current Status - Stability
  • Report complete on existing stability limits
    (2002/03 Southeast Massachusetts / Rhode Island
    Export and Short Term Upgrade Analysis)
  • Report is available from ISO-NE Customer Service

100
Current Status - Thermal
  • Preliminary analysis to assess the thermal export
    capability for the system as planned is ongoing.
  • Ongoing analysis to assess the benefit of various
    345kV projects.

101
Results Stability Performance Analysis
  • Stability limits were based on the result of
    three-phase fault with delayed clearing extreme
    contingency which resulted in a transiently
    unstable response
  • All applicable contingencies were evaluated

102
Results Stability Performance Analysis
  • The existing simultaneous stability transfer
    limits were found to be
  • E/W 850
  • SEMA/RI 2400
  • SEMA 400

103
Recommendation Stability Performance Analysis
  • Modify the following breakers for Independent
    Pole Tripping operation
  • West Medway 111, 112 (completed)
  • Millbury 314 (Completed)
  • West Walpole 104, 105, 108, 109 (2003)

Follow-Up Stability Analysis
  • Upgrades to the Canal breakers or reducing the
    backup breaker clearing time would eliminate the
    possibility of an extreme contingency involving
    those breakers causing a total source loss over
    2200 MW.
  • Upgrading Brayton Point circuit breaker 15-300T
    and 03-300T to IPT would eliminate the
    possibility of an extreme contingency involving
    those breakers causing a total source loss over
    2200 MW.

109
Results Thermal Performance Analysis
  • The existing thermal transfer limits for the 2006
    As Planned system were found to be 2200 - 3000
    MW.
  • Range limit determined by varying (1) sources in
    SEMARI and sinks in NEPOOL and (2) levels of E/W
    transfer in the base case.
  • SEMA/RI Exports limit is highly dependent on
  • East/West Transfers
  • CT Import
  • NEMA Import

110
