Red Eléctrica de España (REE): Mission and principles.

¾ The existence of REE, world pioneer since 1985, as independent and exclusively dedicated to Transmission and System Operation, has proved fundamental for the fast and secure implementation of electricity market and integration of RES

‰ Designs, builds and maintains the transmission network.

¾ Since 2007 as exclusive transmission company

‰ Operates the system to guarantee the power supply.

¾ Since 2006 also in the extra-peninsular systems

RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Integration of renewables: prospects and challenges Ambitious national objectives for RES (20% of final energy in 2020) require additional integration within the power system (>40% in the electric energy )

38.000 MW* 8.367 MW* 5.079 MW*

Particular features imply technical and management challenges for the power system and the generation:

• Grid development Location far from load and grid • Technical Requirements Vulnerability to incidents(voltage dips) • Control by TSO and more Primary energy: Lack of firmness and control dispatchable resources

… without forgetting other organisational aspects

RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Managing Access and Planning the Grid A good programming of new non-transmission facilities (e.g., generators) must take into account decision and commissioning processes in transmission grid:

‰ Decision on transmission facilities

Grid Planning • REE carries out the planning studies and proposals Access to the grid • National Goverment, with the collaboration of • Regulated process to Regional Administrations, approve the grid assess the aceptability of development plan a new non-transmission • Every 4 years, new horizon (10 y) facility • Every year, review with same horizon • Continuous process Binding (unlike indicative planning for generation)

Control Need and Actions upon Special Generation

‰ Special Generation has to be dispatched with priority over Ordinary Generation.

‰ Consequently, whenever possible the SO must solve the technical constittraints bby iiissuing itinstructi ons to OdiOrdinary GtiGeneration:

 Power Output Reduction

 Disconnection of Plants

‰ However, it may be necessary to issue Control Actions on Special Generation, by : a) Production Constraints (reduce or disconnect): yLocal zonal congestions (transmission or distribution) ySystem Stability (instruction depending on technical compliance of plants) yG-D balance in power and regulating reserve (specially off-peak and transitions) b) Q/V Management: Set-point from SO substitutes reference for cosϕ (established RD661)

REE and the integration of RES. Toledo. 18 June 2010 21

RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Generation Control requirements

Control of RES Generation Plants (GP) by TSO is necessary for maintaning system security and to maximize RES production by reducing preventive restrictions and delay upto real time. This involves in real time:

‰ Observability for “all” plants: GP Ö REAL TIME INFO Ö TSO

(production, voltage, connectivity, …)

‰ Operability for “all significant” plants: TSOÖ INSTRUCTIONS Ö GP production control (active power) provision of system services (reactive, regulation,) For security and efficiency, this interlocution between TSO and GP should not be individual (several hundreds of plants) but via Generation Dispatch Centers with control capability over a number of plants yHuman and technical resources (24 h) y Secure and redundant Connection Dispatching Centre <> REE CC (computer<>computer, telephone) y Connection Dispatching Centre <> Wind Farms-Generators

ƒ Integrated in REE’s control structure

ƒ Communication with generation Control Centres (SRGCCs) for supervision and control instructions.

ƒ According to RD661/2007 all special regime plants >10 MW must be connected to a SRGCC.

ƒ CECRE issues generation instructions through the SCADA system to the Control Centres.

However, the plant fragmentation (≤ 100 kW modules due to retribution conditions) has avoided real time tele‐measurements and the plants are “hidden behind ” the demand.

Integration of RES: Final Remarks and Possible Trends

The many advantages of renewable energy lead to maximize installation. In this context, REE works in the solution of the drawbacks of RES generation (technical, organisational, regulatory) in order to preserve the security and quality of supply in the power system.

¾ In particular, for Solar PV controllability and technical adequacy However, still a number of challenges remains: - Dispatchable Gen: very demanding regime and decreasing running time RES will be submitted to operating conditions including production constraints; specially related to off-peak situations and transitions In the solution, a significant leap forward is needed based on:

¾New flexible generation and enlarging energy storage possibilities

¾ More active participation of the demand side

¾ Incorporation to the electric sector energy consumption currently in other sectors: Electric Vehicles
