Purpose of IRP

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

WAC 480-100-238 Integrated resource planning.

• (1) Purpose. Each electric utility regulated by the commission has the responsibility to meet its system demand with a least cost mix of energy supply resources and conservation. In furtherance of that responsibility, each electric utility must develop an "integrated resource plan."

Solar Based on Wild Horse solar project actual data from 2007 to present, scaled to 50MWs

Consistent Treatment of Colstrip 1&2 in the Models

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

• In order to model resource adequacy consistently with the Northwest Power Planning Council, PSE needed to align the timing of Colstrip 1&2 retirement with Genesys modeling from the 2016 Resource Adequacy Study.

• Market reliance outputs based on Genesys model assumes that Colstrip 1&2 are retired for the study year 2020.

• PSE’s Resource Adequacy Model also removes Colstrip 1&2 in 2020 in the PSE portfolio to align with the Genesys model.

• The actual planned retirement date for Colstrip 1&2 is no later than July 1, 2022.

Resource Adequacy Metrics Definition

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

Metrics Definition

LOLP (loss of load probability) Number of simulations with any deficit event as a percent of total simulations, regardless of the duration, frequency and magnitude of events (%)

EUE (expected unserved energy) Sum of the MW deficits across all simulations divided by total simulations(MW-hr/year)

TailVar90 of MW Deficits (Simulations w/ Deficits)

Average MW deficit from the simulations with the 10% worst deficits (MW-hr/hr)

19

Resource Adequacy Model 2017IRP Metrics

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

MW peaker needed or EUE are inputs into the peak capacity credit calculations

Peak capacity credit approach used is ELCC (effective load carrying capability) defined as the equivalent peaker capacity change to get the same LOLP or EUE as a percent of the resource capacity added or removed from portfolio

PSE Portfolio for Study Year: Oct-2020 to Sep-2021 5% LOLP

MW Capacity Needed 550 MW

EUE (expected unserved energy) 34.6 MW-hr/year

LOLP Does: Count New Simulations That Experience a Resource Deficiency LOLP Does Not: Reflect Making Deficiencies Worse in an Event That Was Already Short

23

Overview

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

• Resource Need • Resource Adequacy Results • Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) • Demand Response Planning

24

Demand Response Planning

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

Determine The Characteristics Needed from Demand Response • What we need versus what we can have • What characteristics should a DR program have to adequately displace a

peaker of a given size? • Focused on load that needs to be carried, rather than the load that

can be carried by a specific program

Key Question • LOLP: Only focuses on new simulations that experience a resource • LOLP Does Not: Address bad simulations where events are made worse

in frequency, duration, and magnitude • Question: Shouldn’t we be concerned about making already bad

simulations worse?

25

How to Estimate Reliability Needed From Demand Response

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

The equivalent DR program is described by the difference before and after removing a peaker based on: duration of deficit events by hour, event frequency(number of events in a year), and magnitude of deficits in MWs time between deficit events

26

Approach to Describing the Need

Case 1: Start at 5% LOLP Case 2: Remove X MW of Peaker Capacity Compare: Difference Between Case 1 and Case 2 Identifies the Impact:

– PSE’s RAM Allows a Simulation-by-Simulation Comparison – Additional simulations that will experience resource deficiency(ies) – Magnitude of Deficiencies in bad simulations – Frequency of resource deficiencies within a “bad” simulation – Duration of resource deficiencies within a “bad” simulation – Time between resource deficiencies

27

Using a Layered Approach

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

The Greater the Capacity Need to Fill, the Larger the “Hole” • In capacity, but also possibly frequency, duration, and time between resource

deficiencies

Examining Layers Avoids Over-Specifying What Would be Needed from DR • Avoids possibly over-stating the capacity, frequency, and duration • Therefore avoids overstating the cost of DR required

Approach • A 200 MW DR resource can be broken down into smaller, possibly more cost

effective steps.

Steps • Started with portfolio at 5% LOLP • Subtract 25 MW Peaker: Compare with above

– Impact on frequency, duration, and time between deficiencies • Subtracted additional 25 MW (50 MW Total): Compare with above • Subtracted additional 70 MW (120 MW Total): Compare with above • Subtracted additional 80 MW (200 MW Total): Compare with above

28

Summary of Results

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

LOLP Only: DR calls at most 2x a year for a maximum of 2 hour duration

LOLP + EUE: DR calls at most 6x a year for a maximum of 5-8 hour duration

Analysis Approach

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

Assumes DR is dispatchable, peaker has a 3% forced outage rate

DR programs are stackable based on size

From a base portfolio where 5% LOLP is achieved, reduce peaker capacity by some MWs incrementally

Examine the characteristics of incremental deficits created by the reduction in peaker capacity

Next Steps

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

Refine analysis of time between deficiencies to hourly rather than daily

Examine tradeoff between duration and time between deficiencies • Example, a 6 hour DR event might cover multiple deficiencies

Consider working with Navigant to refine potential assessment to shape DR to fit PSE’s resource need. Consider just estimating the ELCC of a 4-hour, once a day or twice a day demand response resource of a given MW magnitude, or variations thereof. Next IRP: Examine the ELCC implications of day-ahead demand response • Not effective for covering resource deficiencies created by forced

outages…or not totally effective.

Resource Costs & Portfolio Sensitivities Discussion

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

38

Purpose of Generic Resources

February 3, 2017 IRPAG

• Resource decisions are not made in the IRP. Acquisition decisions are made in a separate process as detailed in WAC 480-107.

• In the acquisition process, generic resource costs for near-term decisions are replaced with actual resource alternatives.

• Generic resource costs in the IRP are helpful just to let participants in the acquisition process know the range of what PSE thinks it may see for new resources, however, bidders will compete against each other with a PSE self-build as a back-stop.

• The alternatives evaluated in the RFP do not compete against the generic resources assumed in PSE’s IRP
