Smart Grid Roadmap Update

2012 EMS Users Conference

Jim Blatchford, Smart Grid Solutions Manager

September 17, 2012


Shaping the industry

The ISO, a nonprofit public benefit

corporation, maintains the constant

and reliable flow of electricity for

the health, safety and welfare of

consumers

How?

Delivering 286 million megawatt-

hours of electricity annually

Facilitating fair and transparent

wholesale electricity market

Performing comprehensive

transmission planning

Clearing the way for clean, green

resources to access the grid

Slide 2


California ISO by the numbers

57,963 MW of power plant capacity

50,270 MW record peak demand (July 24, 2006)

30,000 market transactions per day

25,865 circuit-miles of transmission lines

30 million people served

286 million megawatt-hours of electricity delivered annually

Why do we need advanced forecasting ?

• 2020 Anticipated Renewable Energy

~ 12 GW Solar

~ 11 GW Wind

• Distributed Energy (BTM)

~ 3 GWs rooftop PV

Governor's Vision

~12 GWs Localized Gen

~ 6.5 GW’s CHP

Electric Vehicles ?

• Current

– Solar 1160 MWs

– Wind 4697 MWs

> BTM Solar 1300 MWs


HECO- A great case study - 4% DG penetration


Advanced forecasting evolves renewable forecasting

capabilities & increases distribution system visibility.

• Improve renewable generation forecasting

– Reduce forecasting error

– More frequent and granular forecasts

• Provide distribution system visibility

– Distributed energy resources

– Electric vehicles

– Demand response

• Support research and demonstrations

– Additional measurements devices

– Emerging technology

– Improve forecasting models

Forecasting Vision:

Advanced forecasting

capability accounting

for variability

introduced by

renewable generation

and incentive based

programs, minimizing

forecast error for

optimal unit

commitment and

dispatch.

Funding approved by CEC in

mid 2012 pushes research to

2013

Environment - enabled forecasting researchers

to receive ISO data

Sky Tracker research revealed the

need for more advanced equipment

Continued pilots with forecasting

providers to test algorithms

Studied CPUC Go Solar data

to determine where & how

much solar PV is “behind the

meter”

Key 2012 Goals

• Forecasting Vision and Roadmap

• Ancillary Service and Ramping

forecast design

• Forecasting improvement 10%

per year for 4-years
