Capacity Versus Energy
• Capacity (MW) = highest demand for energy during a time period– PEAK HOUR– July 22, 2019 = 3,242 MW– All Time System Peak – July 7, 2017 = 3,422 MW
• Energy (MWh) = total energy used during a time period– ALL HOURS– 2019 Total Annual Sales = 17,387,636 MWh – aMW = 1,985 MW (17,387,636 MWh/8,760 hours)

System Topology(Continued)
• Resources and demand are located within each Area.• Area description
– Areas are assigned by geographic region.– One Area can occupy a zone.– Multiple Areas can occupy a zone.– Areas are connected by transmission links.
11
![Page 12: Aurora Workshop - Idaho Power](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072518/62dde4edddebc53ff16fd048/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modeling Logic
• Basic concept – supply/demand• Resources supply demand
– Generation units are dispatched based on economics and constraints.– Electricity flows based on economics and constraints.– Resource stacks are calculated every hour.– Marginal generation units set the zonal price.

Aurora Database
• Aurora provides a default WECC database.• Many competing models don’t provide a database.• Database captures what’s happening around us.
– Important to model entire WECC during sensitivity analyses.• Examples – high carbon cost future, high gas cost future, etc.• As futures change – MARKET PRICES CHANGE
– Never a good idea to plan in a bubble.

Zonal Simulation
• Hourly simulation for entire WECC is performed– Existing and New Resources
• Portfolio simulation for Idaho Power (portfolio costing)• Resources are dispatched to serve demand• Energy flows based on demand/economics
21
![Page 22: Aurora Workshop - Idaho Power](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072518/62dde4edddebc53ff16fd048/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Zonal Simulation(Continued)
• Hourly dispatch considerations:– Economics– Ramp rates– Regulation services
• Examples: RegUp, RegDown– Min Up/Min Down– Maintenance schedules– Transmission ratings– Must-run resources
22
![Page 23: Aurora Workshop - Idaho Power](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072518/62dde4edddebc53ff16fd048/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ramp Rate Examples
• Amount a resource can increase generation within the next hour.• Peaking resource – 100% ramp rate
– Used for limited hours to meet high-load hours– 150 MW nameplate, 100% Ramp Rate– Hour 1 = off; hour 2 = 150 MW (full output)
• Baseload resource – 50% ramp rate– Used for all hours to meet all load hours– 150 MW nameplate, 50% ramp rate– Hour 1 = off; hour 2 = 75 MW; hour 3 = 150 MW (full output)

Regulation Services Example
• Reg Up = under supply– Example: Variable resource generation decreases; flexible resource needs to
increase generation.
• Reg Down = over supply– Example: Variable resource generation increases; flexible resource needs to
decrease generation.

Min Up/Down Example
• Operational constraints often require resources to remain on or off for designated time periods.
• Min Up = 12 Hours• Min Down = 12 Hours• Once a resource starts up, it must remain operational for 12 hours.• Once a resource shuts down, it must remain off for 12 hours.

Transmission Rating Example
• Transmission line ratings can limit the amount of energy flow.• Energy might be cheaper in one zone, but if the line doesn’t have
sufficient capacity, energy can’t flow.

Transmission Rating Example(Continued)
Zone 1Excess energy = 500 MWZonal price = $26/MWh
Zone 3Energy shortfall = 500 MW
ATC = 200 MW

Must Run Resources Example
• PURPA/PPA• Forecasted generation is input into Aurora.• Must-run resources always run at 100% of forecasted generation.

Model Verification-Validation• Flow-through inputs are checked for accuracy.• Examples of flow-through inputs:
– Load forecast– Hydro generation– Natural gas prices– Coal prices– PURPA/PPA– New resource assumptions
• Inputs must equal outputs

LTCE Description
• Resources are built or retired based on the following:– Load and resource balance analysis
• Planning margin requirements– Economics
• Future/existing resource costs– Constraints
• RPS requirements• Regulation requirements• Etc.

Load and Resource Balance Analysis
+ Existing and future resources+ Existing and future transmission capacity- Load forecast= Surplus / (Deficiency)

Economics/Constraints
• Need determined from load and resource balance– New and existing resources are ranked on cost.– Resources are added or retired based on cost and resource attributes.– Constraints can alter resource selections.
• RPS requirements• Emission constraints
51
![Page 52: Aurora Workshop - Idaho Power](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072518/62dde4edddebc53ff16fd048/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
LTCE Simulation
• Step 1 – Load and resource balance analysis performed• Step 2 – New/existing resource valuation created• Step 3 – New/existing resources added/removed for first LTCE• Step 4 – First LTCE iteration starts
– Zonal simulation sampling is used for Average System Cost calculations.• All hours, one week per month, 20 years
• Step 5 – Repeat steps 3 and 4 (using different resource combinations) until a minimum of five iterations are performed.
• Final step – convergence

Convergence
• Convergence requirements:– Average System Cost between iterations must be within study precision level.– Resource additions or retirements between iterations must be similar.
• If large changes are occurring, model convergence doesn’t occur, even if the precision level is met.

System Convergence
• Final LT iteration creates a Resource Modifier Table (RMT) within Aurora.
• RMT is used to adjust the default WECC database.– New resource additions– Existing resource retirements
• Every LTCE creates an RMT.
