2020 Wind and Solar Profile Update Connor Anderson May 28, 2020
Wind and Solar Profile Background UL produces wind and solar profiles for ERCOT on an annual basis covering weather years 1980-present The categories of profiles are: Operational and hypothetical utility-scale wind Operational and hypothetical utility-scale solar PV Metro and rural potential distributed generation solar PV The profiles are posted to the Resource Adequacy page: http://www.ercot.com/gridinfo/resource 2 PUBLIC
2020 Profile Improvements Switched from ERA-Interim to ERA5 reanalysis dataset Higher spatial resolution (31 km vs. previous 79 km) and temporal resolution Overview: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis- datasets/era5 Detailed comparison: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=74764 925 Rural DG solar included for first time Potential generation by CDR zone and by county DG solar validation used more historical data than in the past 3 PUBLIC
2020 Profile Status Operational wind profiles undergoing final review All other profiles completed Memos describing the profile creation process in progress Once completed, profiles will be posted and an announcement will be sent to the SAWG mailing list 4 PUBLIC
