NERC 2022 Probabilistic Assessment: Resource Adequacy Dept. Findings & Analysis
Explore the NERC 2022 probabilistic assessment conducted by Julie Jin in the Resource Adequacy Department. The assessment approach involved using SERVM to simulate scenarios, modeling interconnection topology, and analyzing low temperature and forced outage correlation. Dive into the base case study results and monthly analysis for insights into reserve margins, LOLH hours/year, and more.

Summary of Assessment Approach Use Astrap s SERVM 8760 Hourly Chronological Commitment and Dispatch Model Capture Uncertainty in the Following Variables by simulating many scenarios with multiple iterations Weather (42 years of weather history), 42 years of load shapes, wind profiles and solar profiles Economic Load Forecast Error (distribution of 5 points) Unit Outage Modeling (25 iterations): Multi-state Monte Carlo, and Frequency and Duration External Assistance/DC Ties Optimize planned maintenance for case specific load shape 2 PUBLIC

Low Temperature and Forced Outage Correlation Unlike last study, additional probabilities were modeled for forced outages at temperatures below 20 F. A linear probability was assigned with an incremental hourly forced outage probability of 1.07% at 0 F down to 0% at 20 F leading to an average of ~9,000 total MW being forced offline at 0 F. The impacts of the new weatherization requirements are not being considered in the temperature outage correlation modeling. 4 PUBLIC

The high level of reliability modeled in the summer is contingent on the projected construction of over 20GW solar resources. Higher reserve margin in the 2022 Study, but lower reliability is driven by the surfacing of winter reliability events from increased forced outage rates and low solar reliability contribution in winter. 5 PUBLIC

Base Case Study Results Monthly (2) Reliability events occur during the winter months in the weather years with extremely low temperatures. The results are driven by the incorporation of additional forced outage risk in the winter. While the projected reserve margin for 2024 is much higher than what was projected in the 2020 ProbA Study, the additional reserves are from solar which does not provide significant winter reliability value. 7 PUBLIC
