Mark RothlederVP Market Quality and Renewable Integration

California ISO Overview• Nonprofit public benefit corporation

• Part of Western Electricity Coordinating Council: 14 states, British Columbia, Alberta and parts of Mexico

• 71,000 MW of power plant capacity

• 50,270 MW record peak demand (July 24, 2006)

• 26,014 circuit-miles of transmission lines

• ISO is governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has jurisdiction over transmission lines that cross state borders.

Slide 3

California energy and environmental policies drive renewable integration

• Greenhouse gas reductions to 1990 levels by 2020

• 33% of load served by renewable generation by 2020

• 12,000 MW of distributed generation by 2020

• Ban on use of once-through cooling in coastal power plants

• Less predictable load patterns – rooftop solar, electric vehicles, and smart grid

• SB 350 2030 goals

– 50% renewables

– 50% reduction petroleum use – cars & trucks

– Double energy efficiency of existing buildings

– Greenhouse gas reductions to 40% below 1990 levels

Slide 4

What does the ISO do?

• Uses advanced technology to efficiently and effectively operate the grid in day-ahead and in real-time.

• Deployment of advanced technologies enable the ISO to provide real-time 5 minute resource optimization to CA and five additional states in the West.

• Plans for transmission, generation interconnection and operates the grid in compliance with Federal reliability requirements for 80% of CA and part of Nevada.

A Balancing Authority (BA) is responsible for operating a transmission control area

Electricity is produced, delivered, and consumed at the speed of light.

The ISO balances the system in two timeframes:

• Market down to 5-minute resolution

• AGC on a 4-second basis

WECC is the regional entity for the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, and all or portions of the 14 Western states between

Slide 7

Emerging operational areas where information technology will be leveraged

• System reliability and situation awareness

• Renewable Integration

• Increased system coordination

– Transmission / Distribution System operational coordination

– Regional coordination and optimization

– Gas / Electric Coordination

• Demand and supply forecasting

• GHG emission tracking and control

• Information security

• Builds on existing market• Automated dispatch resolves

imbalance & avoids congestion

• Increase flexibility & decreases flexible reserve

• Provides situational awareness, enhances reliability

• Voluntary and no exit fees• Preserves autonomy,

including compliance, balancing, and reserve obligations

• Decreases integration cost

Energy Imbalance Market is an important to tool for effective use of resources around the west

Prior to EIM:Each BA must balance loads and resources w/in its borders.

Slide 17

EIM benefits $64M since October 2014 • Arizona and Puget continue

their respective implementation progress:

– August 1st begins parallel operations, teams begin preparing Readiness Criteria for FERC filing

– October 1st Go-Live

– Idaho Power will join EIM in spring of 2018.

– LADWP has announced its intent to explore EIM participation.

Slide 18

18 large power plants representing ~9,800 MW of capacity are supported by Aliso Storage

Slide 19

Mitigation Measures• Power Flow Analysis – Joint ISO and LADWP

– Identified minimum generation required to maintain reliability – Areas at risk for transmission constraints– Generation and Transmission available outside the LA Basin

for energy and operating reserves

• Gas curtailment methodology and walkthrough May 16– Joint effort – ISO, LADWP, Peak RC, SoCalGas

• ISO Tariff Changes – Approved June 1– Market Constraint / Nomogram– Broader authority to reserve transmission on ISO internal

paths – Path 26

• Coordination with Peak RC to increase SOL in emergency

• EIM energy Transfers
