Scenario Development and Siting• Four Different Scenarios
– Three 20% and one 30% wind scenarios• Scenario 1 - High capacity factor wind development
in the Midwest with larger transmission component• Scenario 2 – Hybrid Midwest wind with some local
resources with lower capacity factor onshore wind and offshore
• Scenario 3 – Focus on local resources with enhanced offshore
• Scenario 4 – 30%, all in• All of four scenarios require a lot of wind and
transmission!

Transmission RequirementsHigh levels of new transmission are needed across the 4 scenarios
Some transmission elements are common to all overlaysReference case, 20% and 30% wind scenarios all require a significant transmission build out, otherwise they are not feasibleTransmission reduces variability and provides capacity benefits in its own right, and enhances the reliability contribution of wind generation by a measureable and significant amount.The EHV DC transmission that constitutes a major portion of the overlays has additional benefitsThe conceptual transmission overlays consist of multiple 800kV HVDC and EHV AC lines

Interesting policy and technology development questions
• Could the levels of transmission, including the Reference Case, ever be permitted and built, and if so, what is a realistic time frame?
• Could the level of offshore wind energy infrastructure be ramped up fast enough to meet the aggressive offshore wind assumption in the EWITS scenarios?
• Would a different renewable profile or transmission overlay arise from a bottom-up planning process?
• How can states and the federal government best work together on regional transmission expansion and the massive development of onshore and offshore wind infrastructure?
• What is the best way for regional entities to collaborate to make sure wind is integrated into the bulk electrical grid optimally and reliably ?
• What is the difference between applying a carbon price versus mandating and giving incentives for additional wind?
Renewable Technology Integration
EWITS –a Link in the Chain • The scenarios developed for this study do not in any
way constitute a plan; instead, they should be seen as an initial perspective on a top-down, high-level view of four different 2024 futures.
• The study assumptions were developed in close coordination with the TRC– Changes in the assumptions, such as the cost of various
fuels, the impact of regulation and policy would have a major influence
• A complete evaluation of any of the scenarios would require additional technical analysis including– An AC analysis which examines in more detail the power
transfer limitations assumed in the production modeling and includes power flows that look at voltage and reactive compensation issues, dynamic and transient stability, and HVDC terminal control.
Renewable Technology Integration
EWITS Conclusions• High penetrations of wind generation—providing 20% to 30% of
the electric energy requirements of Eastern Interconnection—are technically feasible with significant expansion of the transmission infrastructure.
• New transmission will be required for all the future wind scenarios in the Eastern Interconnection, including the reference case. Planning for this transmission, then, is imperative because it takes longer to build new transmission capacity than it does to build new wind plants.
• Without transmission enhancements, substantial curtailment of wind generation would be required for all of the 20% scenarios.
• Interconnection-wide costs for integrating large amounts of wind generation are manageable with large regional operating pools, where benefits of load and wind diversity can be exploited and large numbers of supply resources are efficiently committed and dispatched.
Renewable Technology Integration
EWITS Conclusions• Transmission helps reduce the impacts of the variability of
the wind, which reduces wind integration costs, increases reliability of the electrical grid, and helps make more efficient use of the available generation resources.
• Although costs for aggressive expansions of the existing grid are significant, they do make up a relatively small piece of the total annualized costs in any of the scenarios studied.
• Wind generation displaces carbon-based fuels, directly reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Emissions continue to decline as more wind is added to the supply picture. Increasing the cost of carbon in the analysis results in higher total production costs.
Renewable Technology Integration
and the conclusion is…
• There are no fundamental technical barriers to the integration of 20% wind energy into the electrical system, but…
• There needs to be a continuing evolution of transmission planning and system operation policy and market development for this to be achieved.
