Study Study Committee Committee Update Meeting Update Meeting Study Committee C1: System Development and Economics Study Committee C1: System Development and Economics Presented by Canadian Representative: Christopher Reali Presented by Canadian Representative: Christopher Reali 2022 CIGRE Canada Study Committees Update Meeting November 2
2 Study Committee Introduction Scope The scope of SC C1 work generally includes descriptions of state-of-the- art applied methods and practices for system planning, economics and asset management. The four main areas covered by SC C1 are: System planning Asset management Business management Interconnections horizontal, vertical Strategic Direction The mission of Study Committee (SC) C1 is to support electricity system planners and asset managers worldwide in anticipating and successfully managing system changes to address emerging needs, opportunities and uncertainties while respecting multiple constraints 2022 CIGRE Canada Study Committees Update Meeting November 2
Preferential Subjects 2022 PS 1 SYSTEM TRANSITION RESILIENCE & ASSET MANAGEMENT RESPONSE Resilience metrics and measures to safeguard stakeholder value through grid forming, power electronics control, smart load shedding, fast restoration Response to unexpected emerging system and business risks during the energy transition New standards (equipment design and system planning) for resilient and life-cycle sustainable system. PS 2 ENERGY SECTOR INTEGRATION AND TACKLING THE COMPLEXITY OF MULTI-FACETED NETWORK PROJECTS Energy sector integration, hydrogen & power-to-gas, deep electrification: technical and economic aspects Multi-purpose, multi-terminal, multi-actor, multi-jurisdiction grid projects: how to tackle their planning complexity Including in the planning process the flexibility options from non-network-assets and non-electric solutions (storage, virtual power plants, DR, energy communities, behind-the-meter resources). PS 3 PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY AND WITH CHANGING EXTERNAL CONSTRAINTS Modelling the impact of environmental conditions, technical advancements, greater stakeholder involvement, generation fleet shift, new type of contingencies, use of data driven network methods for long-term load forecasting, including impact of COVID pandemic on load profiles, planning scenarios, investments patterns and assets maintenance schemes Decision-making under pervasive energy policies: optimising economic vs environmental benefits for consumers and matching centralized energy targets with private driven investments Leveraging the evolving system services, market products and load profiles to optimize investment and timing, avoiding stranded assets (also from fossil plants dismissal) 2022 CIGRE Canada Study Committees Update Meeting November 2 3
