Objective
Develop the capabilities of aggregations of small loads to provide reliability services (ancillary services) to the bulk power system
Demonstrate the technical capability of residential and small commercial air conditioning loads to provide spinning reserve
All customers benefit if the power system is more reliable, costs are reduced, and capacity is increased

Responsive Loads: Better Matched To Spinning Reserves Than Peak Reduction
Better for the load: shorter, less frequent disruption
Better for the power system: faster response, more reliable, better use of generation
Better for other loads: reduced energy and ancillary service prices
Better for society: reduced need for generation and transmission

It Is Now Possible and Desirable for Loads to Provide Spinning Reserves
Historically, loads have not been allowed to provide spinning reserves, the fastest, highest price contingency reserves
Advances in communications and control now make it technically possible
Power system reliability needs now make it desirable
Many loads are better matched to providing spinning reserve than demand reduction
Spinning reserve is capacity

Loads Can Be Ideal Suppliers of Ancillary Services – Especially Spinning Reserve
Fast response Fast deployment Redundancy Distributed throughout the power system Fewer and shorter interruptions than demand reduction or energy
market response– less storage required– less disruption to normal load operations
Complements energy management and price response Only looking for a small percentage of load to respond

Spinning Reserves From Commercial Loads
• Supervisory controllers in hospitality industry can:– Save energy and can reduce electric demand– Reduce space heating/cooling in rooms that are unoccupied – Shift electric loads during peak periods for short time intervals– Provide the capability for utilities to satisfy spinning reserve(?)
• Easy retrofit – Fast deployment– Developed by Digi-Log Technologies;
tested for energy savings by ORNL
• Spinning reserve is an easy add-on– Modified to operate by pager signal from utility
– Demo with LIPA and possibly others
• Will work with many technologies

Metering and Communications Requirements
Givens:– Payment must be tied to actual response– Deployment signals have to be fast
One SCADA monitoring system currently performs three functions– Continuous readiness monitoring– Real-time event monitoring– Performance monitoring
How much monitoring is required?– Statistical resources may not need the individual real-time monitoring that
deterministic resources need• Redundancy may be better than observability.• A 5% error in total load forecast can be a problem. A 5% error in reserve response may
not be.– Performance monitoring can be slower– What information does the system operator really require in real-time?
![Page 18: O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Ancillary Services From Aggregations of Small Responsive Loads Brendan Kirby Oak Ridge National](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e4c5503460f94b4172a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Communications Requirements Are Asymmetric(This is a Big Benefit)
System-to-load communications are typically broadcast– Resource need – MW of response desired
– Price
– Deployment – respond Now!
Load-to-system communications are typically individual– Capabilities and price offer
– Performance monitoring – conceptually can be slower
– Aggregator may help

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Service Definitions Are Critical
Most generators do not care if they run for 30 minutes or 8 hours– May have minimum run times
– May have emissions limits
A load may be able to respond for 10-30 minutes but not 2 hours– Can re-arm immediately if not used frequently
Response capability matches spinning contingency reserve much better than demand relief

Technical Conclusions Communications and control technology now
makes spinning reserve from load possible There are advantages to the responding loads, the
power system, other customers, and society Spinning reserve is a better match for some loads
than peak reductionRules are absolutely critical

Problem: New Reliability Enhancing Technologies Are Not Deployed
Some new technologies appear to be well matched to providing ancillary services, but:
Reliability services (ancillary services) are procured through markets System operators do not aggressively seek new reliability enhancing
technologies– System operators must remain market neutral
Existing ancillary service markets are designed around the large generating resources that have historically provided the services
Changing market rules to accommodate new technologies is very risky and slow– Rule changes apply to all new and old market participants– Rule changes can have unintended consequences– Reliability can be threatened– Cost/market impacts can be large
![Page 23: O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Ancillary Services From Aggregations of Small Responsive Loads Brendan Kirby Oak Ridge National](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e4c5503460f94b4172a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Penalties Are Rigid - Rewards Are Not
New technology must meet all existing requirements– Monitoring– 2 hour response duration– 24/7 response…
New benefits are not valued– Regulation response accuracy– Spinning reserve response speed– Increased statistical reliability from smaller resources– Response matched to system load…
Current rules are often tied to existing generation technology, not system physical requirements
![Page 24: O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Ancillary Services From Aggregations of Small Responsive Loads Brendan Kirby Oak Ridge National](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e4c5503460f94b4172a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
New Technology Hurdles(Just to Be Allowed to Try to Compete)
Technology must actually work Technology must be perceived as working Aggregate resource must be perceived as large enough to be
of value– Physically (there has to be enough physical response capability)– Economically (technology must be perceived as economically viable
enough to capture a large market) Must meet all existing requirements
– Even if they are irrelevant to the new technology– Any required rule changes can not adversely impact existing
technology reliability
The economic push available to new central generation technologies is not available to small distributed technologies

There May Be An Alternative:Regulated Resources to Manage Risk
The regulator could evaluate a technology and determine if it offers advantages for rate payers
– It might reduce the need for an ancillary service and save rate payers money while increasing reliability
The regulator could approve a limited deployment (at rate payer expense) to test the technology
The ancillary service could be offered at no cost to the system operator, reducing the amount of ancillary service that must be procured in the unchanged ancillary service market
Rules for service delivery can be legitimately different because the system operator is in control of how and when the resource is used
– Physical rules remain important but market rules can differ– Physical rules can be technology specific
If the test goes well the regulator can decide to expand the program– There is no danger of unexpected market resource shifts or reliability degradation
The new technology may move into the competitive arena with market rules adjusted based upon knowledge rather than perception, OR the new technology may remain as a regulated T&D asset

Reactive Power Analogy
Markets for dynamic reactive support from generators are starting to develop
Should Static Var Compensators become competitive resources instead of regulated transmission resources?
Should capacitors?
No. The regulated T&D resources reduce the system requirements for dynamic reactive power support from competitive generation markets. Regulated resources can coexist with competitive resources for the supply of ancillary services.
