To facilitate wider penetration of renewable resources without compromising system reliability concerns arising from the lack of predictability of intermittent renewable resources, a tool for use by California Independent System Operator (CAISO) power grid operators was developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in conjunction with CAISO with funding from California Energy Commission. The tool analyzes and displays the impacts of uncertainties in forecasts of loads and renewable generation on: (1) congestion, (2) voltage and transient stability margins, and (3) voltage reductions and reactive power margins. The impacts are analyzed in the base case and under user-specified contingencies. A prototype of the tool has been developed and implemented in software.
