Improving Power System Modeling. A Tool to Link Capacity Expansion and Production Cost Models

Technical Report Diakov, Victor ; Cole, Wesley ; Sullivan, Patrick ; ...

Capacity expansion models (CEM) provide a high-level long-term view at the prospects of the evolving power system. In simulating the possibilities of long-term capacity expansion, it is important to maintain the viability of power system operation in the short-term (daily, hourly and sub-hourly) scales. Production-cost models (PCM) simulate routine power system operation on these shorter time scales using detailed load, transmission and generation fleet data by minimizing production costs and following reliability requirements. When based on CEM 'predictions' about generating unit retirements and buildup, PCM provide more detailed simulation for the short-term system operation and, consequently, may confirm the validitymore »« less

Carbon-Free Resource Integration Study

Technical Report Matsuda-Dunn, Reiko ; Emmanuel, Michael ; Chartan, Erol Kevin ; ...

This report presents a net load analysis, geospatial analysis, and a web application for the Duke Energy Carbon-Free Resource Integration Study. In this collaborative engagement, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides research support to Duke Energy to analyze the impacts of integrating significant amounts of new solar photovoltaic (PV) power into its service territory under a variety of scenarios. This analysis covers Duke Energy's territories in North Carolina and South Carolina, including two balancing authorities - Duke Energy Progress (DEP) and Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) - with detailed assessments and discussions of the operations of the existing fleet, particularlymore »« less

Modeling Climate-Water Impacts on Electricity Sector Capacity Expansion: Preprint

Conference Cohen, S. M. ; Macknick, J. ; Averyt, K. ; ...

Climate change has the potential to exacerbate water availability concerns for thermal power plant cooling, which is responsible for 41% of U.S. water withdrawals. This analysis describes an initial link between climate, water, and electricity systems using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) electricity system capacity expansion model. Average surface water projections from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 3 (CMIP3) data are applied to surface water rights available to new generating capacity in ReEDS, and electric sector growth is compared with and without climate-influenced water rights. The mean climate projection has only a small impact onmore »« less

Impact of Dynamic Storage Capacity Valuation in Capacity Expansion Models

Conference Frew, Bethany A

This presentation summarizes the motivation and results from the corresponding International Energy Workshop (IEW) conference paper CP-6A20-71462. Both the slide deck and paper discuss the impact of dynamic storage capacity valuation in capacity expansion models (CEMs), which are tools commonly used by power system planners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to inform decisions regarding the buildout of the electric grid. The objective of this analysis is to demonstrate the impact with a CEM of moving from a static storage capacity value (CV) to a curve-fitted approximation that captures the interactions between storage duration, PV penetrations, and storage penetration. We fit andmore »« less

8760-Based Method for Representing Variable Generation Capacity Value in Capacity Expansion Models

Conference Frew, Bethany A

Capacity expansion models (CEMs) are widely used to evaluate the least-cost portfolio of electricity generators, transmission, and storage needed to reliably serve load over many years or decades. CEMs can be computationally complex and are often forced to estimate key parameters using simplified methods to achieve acceptable solve times or for other reasons. In this paper, we discuss one of these parameters -- capacity value (CV). We first provide a high-level motivation for and overview of CV. We next describe existing modeling simplifications and an alternate approach for estimating CV that utilizes hourly '8760' data of load and VG resources.more »« less
