Renewable Energy Modeling

Wind/Solar Implementation Plan

2nd Generation Wind Models

2nd Generation Wind Models SRWG Implementation Plan – Complete transition by

6/5/2015 Superseded models will be removed from Approved

Dynamics Model List on 6/5/2015

Exception: REMTF recommended removing wt1p and wt2p from the WECC Approved Model List immediately

Passive units should not have a pitch control model Active stall units should use wt1p_b REMTF will take the action to inspect the list and give

the recommendation of either deleting or replacing the wt1p and wt2p with wt1p_b

Photovoltaic Models For large-scale PV plants:

For distributed and small PV plants, use PVD1 model

SRWG Implementation Plan to be completed by 6/5/2015

REMTF – Next Steps Wind Type 3 torque controller model – reviewing a

proposal to keep the more complex model as a separate module

Distributed PV model in composite load model More discussion is needed between REMTF, program vendors

and LMTF to implement a distributed PV model in the composite load model CMPLDW

REMTF – Next Steps (cont.) Energy Storage Modeling

Progress report expected Nov 2014 Members requested a more expedited schedule because

interconnection requests of batteries are being received Encourage manufacturers to get engaged early in the model

development

Plant Level Control Modeling Expand plant control model to control multiple elements,

including different types of wind turbines, SVCs or STATCOMs, and MSCs

Investigate whether SVSMO3 can model hybrid SVC (contains both VSC and TSC)

System Model Validation

System Model Validation MVWG is continuing to improve the process to develop

future model validation cases Method 1: Planning base case and dyd Method 2: Using WSM case and dyd (PSLF v19)

Event Model Validation Efforts: May 16 2014 NW RAS Event – Completed May 26 2014 DC RAS Event – In progress

May 16 2014 NW AC RAS EventValidation Report

MVWG approved the “Model Validation Report for May 16, 2014 RAS Event”

Posted on website:WECC MVWG > Documents > Approved Documents

Includes simulations using both methods (Planning and WSM case)

May 16 2014 NW AC RAS Event Pre-contingency: John Day-Grizzly #2 and

Grizzly-Malin #2 500-kV lines were out of service

At 23:18:15: John Day-Grizzly #1 500-kV line tripped

to lock-out AC RAS gen.drop is initiated of about

2,500 MW at Grand Coulee, Wells, John Day, Biglow Canyon Wind and Dooley Wind

Chief Joseph braking resistor is operated

Few seconds later: Kemano RAS in BC operated and tripped unit # 1 with 110 MW

40 seconds later: Springerville unit #4 in Arizona tripped with ~425 MW due to boiler instability

May 16 2014 NW AC RAS EventValidation Report Simulations matched actual recordings quite well Above NERC BAL-003-1 Frequency Response Obligation Recommendations:

Validate Generator Frequency Modeling Use tools available to validate frequency response and baseload flag

Expedite reconciliation of wind models in WSM and Planning cases Reconcile wind modeling

Model wind in dyd (many wind plants do not have dynamic models) Use 2nd generation wind models

Model Kemano RAS, Review Kemano RAS, and install PMUs BC Hydro to address recommendations

Chief Joseph Brake Modeling BPA to review security of Chief Joseph Braking Resistor, and provide model

Springerville owners to resolve issues with unit #4 trip

Generator Modeling, Testing, and Model Validation

Frequency Response Tool BPA Generator Frequency Response Tool is

available (uses PI data)

Frequency Response Tool Eric Bakie (IPCO) presented an improved

PI Data Generator Frequency Response Model Validation Tool (version 1) Incorporates PI data tool Incorporates PPMV tool for model validation Includes batch processing, for multiple units and multiple events Includes overview presentation and detailed user guide Webinar training was provided July 22, 2014

**MVWG is performing system model validation for the May 16th (completed) and May 26th events.

Power Plant Model Data Task Force Adding PC and TP for each item to spreadsheet with

list of suspected errors PLEASE REVIEW LIST AND ADDRESS ITEMS IN YOUR

AREA Modeling Data standard MOD-032-1 (steady-state,

dynamics, short circuit) BA, GO, LSE, RP, TO, TSP must respond to PC or TP if they

provide technical concerns with the data submitted (effective 7/1/2016)

Verification standards MOD-026-1 (Excitation Systems) and MOD-027-1 (Turbine/Governor) GO must respond to TP within 90 days if TP notifies GO that

model is not usable, provides technical concerns with the verification documentation, or provides evidence that the model did not match the recorded response to an event (effective 7/1/2014)

Power Plant Model Data Task Force MVWG will work with SRWG to incorporate additional

data checks into the base case review process Turbine type (ensure this is being populated) Baseload flag (review/verify that flag is populated and correct) Pmax (powerflow) should be less than mwcap (dynamics) Wind models (see SRWG implementation plan)

If there are additional errors suspected, continue to send them to Kent

Excitation Models Eric Bakie (IPCO) showed that not modeling UEL

impacts simulations UEL1 and UEL2 have been recommended to be higher in

priority for program implementation

IEEE Standard 421.5 on excitation models is close to going out for ballot More discussion will be needed to determine which model(s)

WECC will recommend to be the approved

Currently OEL1 is WECC approved

RAS & Relay Modeling

Relay Modeling Discussion Current Differential Relay Model Specifications were

approved, but some abstained “There is no or little value of deploying the current

differential relay and distance relay throughout the system.”

“It is good to make these models available in the software packages; however the need, cost, value, and increased database management, etc. for adding data collection requirements for all the new relay models to the WECC DPM have not fully been identified.”

More discussion is described in the MVWG Report to TSS

Status of Model Development Added NOTE: RAS Common Format has been

developed by TSS and has been implemented in PowerWorld and will be implemented in PSLF and PSSE. MATL and Bridger will be implemented using the common format.

Load Modeling

Load Modeling – Composite Load Model Data Tools Tools available on the TSS Base Cases website

in the Composite Load Model Tools folder Load Model Data Tool LMDT4A

“2012 WECC CMPLDW.zip” Updated Load Composition Data

“CMPLDW Load Composition Data_032514.zip” PNNL Tool to create PSSE dyr format

“LMDT_install.zip”

Load Modeling –CMPLDW Phase 2 Update Results may be pessimistic due to point on wave

sensitivity SCE has installed PQube devices on distribution circuits BPA has installed microPMUs on distribution circuits LBNL is providing PQube devices to those who will

install them and share the data Renewed interest in residential and commercial building

load composition

Load Modeling – CMPLDW Monitoring Improvements Specifications are being written to add these capabilities:

Requesting to add the ability to monitor load lost in CMPLDW models per area, zone, or owner so that we can track how much aggregated load is being shed

Request that otg-d format is compatible for both motorw and cmpldw models (otherwise you need to update the otg-d file with the new bus number for the cmpldw)

Request not to change the bus monitoring variable name so that it stays compatible with WCA analysis tools

Load Modeling – Voltage Dip Criteria Chuck Matthews (BPA), chair of WECC-0100 project,

provided an update Discussing transient voltage performance, voltage stability

criteria, steady state voltage limits and post contingency voltage deviations Chuck indicated that the project may need input from M&VWG on the

transient voltage performance criteria

Discussed whether the criteria should be a RBP or a guideline The majority of the project members prefer guideline
