California Council on Science & Technology, an Independent Review of Scientific and Technical Information on the Long-Term Viability of Underground Natural Gas Storage in California. Filer: Lana Wong Organization: California Energy Commission Submitter Commission Staff Role: Submission 1/26/2018 10:34:02 AM Date: Docketed 1/26/2018 Date: Chapter 3 Chapter Three How will implementation of California’s climate policies change the need for underground gas storage in the future? Jeffery B. Greenblatt Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory December 1, 2017 ABSTRACT California leads the nation in developing policies to address climate change, with a combination of economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals policies (AB 32, SB 32, etc.) and complementary means policies that target specific sectors or activities, such as those that encourage energy efficiency, renewable electricity, electricity storage, etc. California also has a cap and trade program to provide an economically efficient framework for reaching emission targets. Chapter 3 is charged with examining how implementation of these policies will affect the need for underground gas storage (UGS), focusing on the years 2030 and 2050 as key policy milestones. The need for UGS derives from many different kinds of demands for natural gas, which can primarily be organized into two categories: building and industrial heat, and electricity generation.

  • Solar Energy and Duck Curve
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Solar Energy and Duck Curve Heena Aijaz Shah1, Ameen Uddin Ahmad2 1M.Tech Scholar (Power System), Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, 121004, India 2Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, 121004, India Abstract: Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is being deployed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels for electricity use and associated emissions of greenhouse gases and certain pollutants. High solar adoption creates a challenge for utilities to balance supply and demand on the grid. This is due to the increased need for electricity generators to quickly ramp up energy production when the sun sets and the contribution from PV falls. Another challenge with high solar adoption is the potential for PV to produce more energy than can be used at one time, called over-generation. In 2013, the California Independent System Operator published the “duck chart”, which shows a significant drop in mid-day net load on a spring day as solar photovoltaics (PV) are added to the system. The chart raises concerns that the conventional power system will be unable to accommodate the ramp rate and range needed to fully utilize solar energy, particularly on days characterized by the duck shape. This could result in over-generation and curtailed renewable energy, increasing its costs and reducing its environmental benefits. Keywords: Solar, Renewable Energy, Duck Chart, Demand Curve, Over-generation, Ramp up, CAISO 1. Introduction 1.1 Introduction to PV and Duck Curve Nowadays the installations of renewable energies have been increasing all over the world.

  • Duck Curve Tells Us About Managing a Green Grid the Electric Grid and the Requirements to Manage It Are Changing
    FAST FACTS What the duck curve tells us about managing a green grid The electric grid and the requirements to manage it are changing. Renewable resources increasingly satisfy the state’s electricity demand. Existing and emerging technology enables consumer control of electricity consumption. These factors lead to different operating conditions that require flexible resource capabilities to ensure green grid reliability. The ISO created future scenarios of net load curves to illustrate these changing conditions. Net load is the difference between forecasted load and expected electricity production from variable generation resources. In certain times of the year, these curves produce a “belly” appearance in the mid-afternoon that quickly ramps up to produce an “arch” similar to the neck of a duck—hence the industry moniker of “The Duck Chart”. Energy and environmental goals drive change In California, energy and environmental policy initiatives are driving electric grid changes. Key initiatives include the following: • 50 percent of retail electricity from renewable power by 2030; • greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal to 1990 levels; • regulations in the next 4-9 years requiring power plants that use coastal water for cooling to either repower, retrofit or retire; • policies to increase distributed generation; and • an executive order for 1.5 million zero emission vehicles by 2025. New operating conditions emerge The ISO performed detailed analysis for every day of the year from 2012 to 2020 to understand changing grid conditions. The analysis shows how real-time electricity net demand changes as policy initiatives are realized. In particular, several conditions emerge that will require specific resource operational capabilities.

Mark Dyson • Using an hourly simulation of a future, highly-renewable Texas power system, we show how Boulder, CO using demand flexibility in eight common end-use loads to shift demand into periods of high [email protected] renewable availability can increase the value of renewable generation, raising revenues by 36% compared to a system with inflexible demand. Harry Masters • Flexible demand of this magnitude could reduce renewable curtailment by 40%, lower peak demand net of renewables by 24%, and lower the average magnitude of multihour ramps (e.g., the “duck curve”) by 56%. • Demand flexibility is cost-effective when compared with new gas-fired generation to balance renewables, avoiding approximately $1.9 billion of annual generator costs and 20% of total annual CO2 emissions in the modeled system. • Policymakers, grid operators, and utility program designers need to incorporate demand flexibility as a core asset at all levels of system planning to unlock this value.

  • Modeling the Future California Electricity Grid and Renewable Energy Integration with Electric Vehicles
    energies Article Modeling the Future California Electricity Grid and Renewable Energy Integration with Electric Vehicles Florian van Triel 1,2,3,* and Timothy E. Lipman 2 1 Department of Vehicle Mechatronics, Technical University of Dresden, 01069 Dresden, Germany 2 Transportation Sustainability Research Center, University of California-Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94704, USA; [email protected] 3 BMW AG, Petuelring 130, 80788 Munich, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 July 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 12 October 2020 Abstract: This study focuses on determining the impacts and potential value of unmanaged and managed uni-directional and bi-directional charging of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) to integrate intermittent renewable resources in California in the year 2030. The research methodology incorporates the utilization of multiple simulation tools including V2G-SIM, SWITCH, and GridSim. SWITCH is used to predict a cost-effective generation portfolio to meet the renewable electricity goals of 60% in California by 2030. PEV charging demand is predicted by incorporating mobility behavior studies and assumptions charging infrastructure and vehicle technology improvements. Finally, the production cost model GridSim is used to quantify the impacts of managed and unmanaged vehicle-charging demand to electricity grid operations. The temporal optimization of charging sessions shows that PEVs can mitigate renewable oversupply and ramping needs substantially. The results show that 3.3 million PEVs can mitigate over-generation by ~4 terawatt hours in California—potentially saving the state up to about USD 20 billion of capital investment costs in stationary storage technologies.

  • Estimating the Impact of Electric Vehicle Demand Response Programs in a Grid with Varying Levels of Renewable Energy Sources: Time-Of-Use Tariff Versus Smart Charging
    energies Article Estimating the Impact of Electric Vehicle Demand Response Programs in a Grid with Varying Levels of Renewable Energy Sources: Time-of-Use Tariff versus Smart Charging Wooyoung Jeon 1, Sangmin Cho 2 and Seungmoon Lee 2,* 1 Department of Economics, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 61186, Korea; [email protected] 2 Korea Energy Economics Institute, Ulsan 44543, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-52-714-2223 Received: 21 July 2020; Accepted: 19 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: An increase in variable renewable energy sources and soaring electricity demand at peak hours undermines the efficiency and reliability of the power supply. Conventional supply-side solutions, such as additional gas turbine plants and energy storage systems, can help mitigate these problems; however, they are not cost-effective. This study highlights the potential value of electric vehicle demand response programs by analyzing three separate scenarios: electric vehicle charging based on a time-of-use tariff, smart charging controlled by an aggregator through virtual power plant networks, and smart control with vehicle-to-grid capability. The three programs are analyzed based on the stochastic form of a power system optimization model under two hypothetical power system environments in Jeju Island, Korea: one with a low share of variable renewable energy in 2019 and the other with a high share in 2030. The results show that the cost saving realized by the electric vehicle demand response program is higher in 2030 and a smart control with vehicle-to-grid capability provides the largest cost saving.
