Fuel Limitation Forced Outages for Winter SARA Report Fred Khodabakhsh November, 2020
Introduction: The fuel limitation adders in winter SARA report were based on 2014 outage scheduler data, time to revisit based on more recent information Methodology Overview: The resources analyzed are the same ones used for the 2014 winter analysis The fuel limitation outages are based on the more recent cold weather events from 2014 through winter 2019 The adders apply to the SARA extreme peak load scenario Analysis was based on the Outage Scheduler s nature of work field, focusing on Fuel Limitation/Lack of Fuel Availability 2 PUBLIC
Methodology Continue: For typical forced outage adder the north central weather zone temperature range from 25 to 30 degrees were used For extreme forced outage adder the Jan 17, 2018 winter cold snap was used which represented both the winter peak load and low winter temperatures Snap Shot of Scenarios Tab from Winter SARA Report Extreme Peak Load / Typical Generation Outages During Extreme Peak Load Extreme Peak Load / Extreme Generation Outages During Extreme Peak Load This Cell Include the Typical Generation Outage Adder for Fuel Limitation Forecasted Season Peak Load Forecasted Season Peak Load / Extreme Low Wind Output Seasonal Load Adjustment - 9,509 - 9,509 Typical Maintenance Outages, Thermal 4,074 4,074 4,074 4,074 Typical Forced Outages, Thermal 4,542 5,339 4,542 5,339 95th Percentile Forced Outages, Thermal - - - 4,540 This Cell Include the Extreme Generation Outage Adder for Fuel Limitation Low Wind Output Adjustment - - 5,279 - 3 PUBLIC
