Infrastructure Working Council Meeting: Presentations Day One Infrastructure Working Council Meeting: Presentations Day One June 2014 E3 Higher RPS Study Briefing for EPRI IWG June 18, 2014 Key Study Question What are the requirements, operational challenges, potential solutions, costs and consequences of integrating 50% RPS by 2030 in California? Incremental Renewable Energy to meet… 50% RPS (27 TWh) 46 TWh 40% RPS (19 TWh) 33% RPS (4 TWh) Renewable generation needed to meet 33% RPS by 2020 (85 TWh) 2 50% RPS is a New Challenge California still does not have operating experience at 33% RPS No other country or state has achieved an equivalent RPS above 30% anywhere in the world • Germany: 22% renewables in 2012 • 7.4% wind, 4.5% solar • Spain: 24% renewables in 2012 • 18% wind, 4% solar • Denmark: 30% wind in 2012 • Assisted by interconnections with Germany & Norway • Norway, New Zealand & British Columbia achieve higher renewable penetrations with large hydroelectric resources which do not count towards RPS in California 3 Sizing up the famous duck chart The CAISO duck chart illustrates operational challenges at 33% RPS It shows just a single day in March as renewables rise to 33% E3’s study looks at thousands of potential operating days as renewables rise to 50% Core question: How serious and pervasive are operating challenges as renewable penetration rises above 33%? Dog days and duck days: Managing Net Load will be the challenge Sweltering Summer Day Delightful Spring Day High Variable Renewable Penetration Stresses the Grid in New Ways “Dog Days” “Duck Days” Highest Load Day Highest Ramp Day Historical system planning challenge: Historically an easy day to manage meet gross peak load on hottest days Emerging system planning challenge: High renewable penetration makes net manage diurnal swings in net load peak lower and later Need enough flexibility Need enough generating capacity Example Day in April: 33%, 40% and 50% RPS E3’s REFLEX model simulates how the system operator dispatches available resources to manage net load Overgeneration • Occurs when system cannot absorb all renewable energy without risking an outage. • Shown in red Overgeneration increases above 33% • Can be very high under the 50% Large Solar case • Diversifying the renewable portfolio reduces overgeneration • Fossil generation is reduced to minimum levels needed for reliability 7 Overgeneration is extensive and can occur in any month Average overgeneration (MW) by month-hour, 50% Large Solar Case: Hour of the Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Overgeneration, MW Jan 12,000 Feb 10,000 Mar Apr 8,000 May Jun 6,000 Jul Aug 4,000 Sep Oct 2,000 Nov Dec 0 8 E3 investigated several potential solutions Potential solutions: • Diversified portfolio (more wind and geothermal, less solar) • Enhanced regional coordination • Conventional demand response (down only) • Advanced demand response (down and up) • Energy storage PEVs not modeled explicitly, but managed charging is similar to advanced DR and energy storage Solutions considered individually (each @ 5000 MW) Solutions may be combined: • Further study needed to identify optimal combination • Best mix of solutions depends on renewable portfolio 9 Potential Integration Solution: Advanced Demand Response PEVS are a potential source of flexible load Charge during day at work and late at night at home V2G provides an extra boost (discharge early evening) 10 Potential Integration Solution: Energy Storage Case Adding 5,000 MW of diurnal energy storage in CA reduces overgeneration Storage charges during the day & discharges at night. PEVs can do this! Example April day 11 Some implications for PEVs Value proposition for PEVs shifting away from managing system peak load toward helping manage daily swings in solar generation Frequency regulation will be less important From a grid perspective PEVs represent a huge and growing reservoir of low cost energy storage Requires pervasive workplace charging, cars plugged in throughout the day TOU as we know it will become irrelevant and dynamic pricing/DR will be more important Aggregation and automation are the key: consistent standards, communications, metering are essential for PEVs to be a true grid resource 12 Implications of high renewable penetration differ by region: depends on renewable resource mix Projected Capacity and Generation Mix by Region in 2050 NREL Incremental Technology Improvement 80% Renewable Scenario Onshore Wind Dominates Offshore Wind Dominates Solar Dominates Mostly Biomass and PV Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Renewable Electricity Futures Study, p. 3.6 http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/52409-1.pdf Thank You!

Downward ramping capability 3. Upward ramping capability Thermal resources operating to serve loads at Thermal resources must ramp up quickly from night must be ramped downward and potentially minimum levels during the daytime hours and new shut down to make room for a significant influx of units may be required to start up to meet a high net solar energy after the sun rises. peak demand that occurs shortly after sundown. 2. Minimum generation flexibility 4. Peaking capability Overgeneration may occur during hours with high The system will need enough resources to meet the VER production even if thermal resources and highest peak loads with sufficient reliability imports are reduced to their minimum levels. A system with more flexibility to reduce thermal generation will incur less overgeneration. 17 Overgeneration Statistics Overgeneration is minimal at 33% RPS, but increases to nearly 9% of available renewable energy under the 50% RPS Large Solar scenario 50% RPS Overgeneration Statistics 33% RPS 40% RPS Large Solar Total Overgeneration GWh/yr. 190 2,000 12,000 % of available RPS energy 0.2% 1.8% 8.9% Overgeneration frequency Hours/yr. 140 750 2,000 Percent of hours 1.6% 8.6% 23% Extreme Overgeneration Events 99th Percentile (MW) 610 5,600 15,000 Maximum Observed (MW) 6,300 14,000 25,000 18 Smart Grid Integration into the Internet of Things Benefits of a bigger picture June 18, 2014/EPRI IWC Slav Berezin, General Motors 1 So, what is the “Internet of Things”?

  • Islamabad, Pakistan December 2020
    Islamabad, Pakistan December 2020 Foreword Many large cities in the world are facing the challenges of air pollution due to the emissions from the conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) based vehicles. The conventional ICE vehicles are also responsible for the GHG emissions, with the transport sector alone contributing 23% of the global CO2 emissions. As most of the countries are obligated to reduce GHG emissions in pursuant to the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting the global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial level, Mohammad Naeem Malik therefore, policy makers and concerned authorities are looking Director SAARC Energy Centre towards electric vehicles to help tackle air pollution problems and the climate change issues. China has by far become the largest electric car market accounting for more than 40 % of electric cars sold in the world. India has recently rolled out its plan to sell only electric vehicles by the year 2030. Electricity is going to be largest source of energy in the future and electric vehicles are of course the ultimate solution to the problems of air pollution and other environmental issues including climate change. The electric vehicles have the additional benefits of reducing noise pollution as well. Deployment of electric vehicles becomes viable for South Asia when power required to drive the electric vehicles comes from the economic, clean and indigenous resources such as renewable energy. Another most essential factor to bring about shift of conventional transport sector to electric transport is the building and maintaining of the necessary charging infrastructures. The electric vehicles will gain the acceptance by the consumers if and only if the necessary infrastructures are in place at economic cost.
