  • 2019 ENDTF Reliability Assessment Report
    System Resilience Under Extreme Natural Disaster January 8, 2020 System Resilience Under Extreme Natural Disaster Executive Summary The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the impact of an extreme natural disaster on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System (BES) in the Western Interconnection (WI). Given that the WI experiences extreme disasters somewhat regularly, such as yearly wild fires and occasional extreme earthquakes, this assessment is designed to identify challenges to the resilience of the WI and to help transmission providers plan accordingly. The scope of this assessment includes studying the impact on WI system adequacy and system stability within a Year 10 future in an Extreme Event caused by California wild fires. This case study was inspired by California’s Tucker Wild Fire in July 2019. The assessment used WECC’s 2028 Anchor Data Set (ADS) planning cases to model a Production Cost Model (PCM) analysis using ABB’s GridView software and a Power Flow (PF) Model analysis using GE’s PSLF software. To identify a highly stressed system condition, the assessment started with the ADS 2028 PCM Phase 1 V2.2, and identified August 7, 2028, Hour 20 (08/07/2018 Hr. 20) as the hour when Path 66 (COI) and Path 65 (PDCI) were most heavily loaded, and the danger of fire was highest. The generation dispatch and load for the 08/07/2028 Hr. 20 were extracted from the 2028 ADS PCM Phase 1 V2.2 and used as input for the 2028 Heavy Summer 1 base case to create a PF case for the assessment.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This paper incorporates demand forecasts and related analysis prepared by Tom Gorin and Chris Kavalec of the California Energy Commission Demand Analysis Office. i ii ABSTRACT This paper updates a 2008 staff assessment of electricity flows over Path 26 during heat spells in the summers of 2006 – 2008. Path 26 is a major transmission artery connecting the Northern California portion of the California Independent System Operator (California ISO) Balancing Authority with Southern California. With an accepted north‐to‐south rating of 4,000 megawatts (MW) and a south‐to‐north rating of 3,000 MW, the path allows significant amounts of generation in one zone to be exported to serve load in the other.

  • CAISO 2020/21 Transmission Plan: Stakeholder Comments
    CAISO 2020/21 Transmission Plan: Stakeholder Comments Submitted by Company Date Submitted Sandeep Arora ([email protected]) LS Power Development, 10/08/20 LLC (916) 850 5817 LS Power appreciates the opportunity to submit comments on CAISO’s 2020/21 Transmission Planning process. (1) PG&E Bulk System Reliability issues: CAISO staff presented several reliability issues for the Bulk system in the Northern California area. These issues include thermal overloads due to several P1, P2, P3, P6, P7 contingencies in the Northern CA Bulk system. For these thermal overloads, CAISO’s current recommendation is to operate within the California Oregon Intertie (COI) nomogram, which typically involves reduction in COI flow. In addition, CAISO’s study shows thermal overloads under contingency conditions in the Path 26 corridor and the current recommendation to address these overloads is adding additional generation to the existing Path 26 RAS, which will be tripped offline post contingency. While these may be effective short term operating solutions, these are not long term, robust planning solutions and are counter to the going forward demands on the grid which include the need for spare capacity, durability and flexibility. Implementing operating solutions may resolve the reliability need but the implications and effectiveness of these should be carefully assessed. For instance, reducing COI flows and/or Path 26 flows, or tripping additional generation post contingency could result in significant issues and may even be impractical to implement on capacity shortage days such as the recent load shedding events of Aug 14 & 15. COI is a major intertie path that connects CAISO to the Pacific Northwest.

  • CAISO South Regional Transmission Plan for 2006 (CSRTP-2006)
    CAISO South Regional Transmission Plan for 2006 (CSRTP-2006) PART II: Findings and Recommendation on the Tehachapi Transmission Project Prepared by: Regional Transmission – South Planning and Infrastructure Development California ISO December 29, 2006 CAISO South Regional transmission Plan for 2006 (CSRTP-2006) Report --- The Tehachapi Study --- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS The California ISO (CAISO) was asked to review and approve three proposals by the project proponents for new transmission projects in the Southern California region. The three projects are: Sunrise Powerlink / Green Path (Sun Path) Project: The project combines Sunrise Powerlink Project sponsored by San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and Phase 2 of Green Path Project sponsored by Citizens Energy and Imperial Irrigation District (IID) connecting Imperial Valley to the San Diego area and is intended to help meet the reliability and economic needs of the ISO Controlled Grid as well as to integrate renewable resources in the Salton Sea and southern Imperial Valley areas. Tehachapi Transmission Project: This project presents the transmission network infrastructure necessary to reliably interconnect generation resources (mainly wind generation) in the Tehachapi Wind Resource Area (TWRA) and, at the same time, to provide reliability and economic value for the ISO Controlled Grid. Southern California Edison Company (SCE) has voluntarily sponsored this project pursuant to the terms of the CAISO’s Large Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP). The TWRA lies at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley in the mountainous region between Bakersfield and Mohave and is California’s largest wind resource area. Lake Elsinore Advanced Pumped Storage (LEAPS) Project: This project includes a 500 kV transmission line project (LEAPS Transmission Line) that connects SCE’s transmission system with that of SDG&E and is accompanied by a 500 MW pumped storage power plant built next to Lake Elsinore itself (LEAPS Power Plant) and interconnected to the middle of the line.
