Wind power forecasting related update

Wind power forecasting update
• Changes to the Short-term windpower forecast are coming – Reduced granularity over some time horizons
• Currently: 5, 10, 15, … 300 minutes out • Change to: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30; 45, 60, 75…300 minutes out
– Transition to “uncurtailed forecast” for short-term only – Medium-term and long-term still use historically observed curtailment
in adjusting forecast
• Wind High Limit – Most wind plants do an “okay” job of calculating, most of the time – Examples later in presentation
• Source of equipment availability in forecast is WPFA (future hours) and RTHOL (current hour)
• ISO does not receive a wind speed forecast

Definition of Curtailment
• A windplant is generating at less than the theoretical maximum output due to operator action given – Weather conditions (esp. wind speed) at plant – Availability of the equipment to run (esp. wind turbines)
• i.e. this is not a function of wind speed or icing, etc • Can be initiated by a variety of entities
– ISO in response to a reliability condition on the transmission system – LCC in response to a reliability condition on the distribution system – Wind plant operator for a variety of reasons
• Reduce stress on components • Reduced noise operation • Wildlife mitigation strategy • Other reasons
– Others?

Determining if Curtailment is occurring is difficult • “by inspection” is not repeatable and is open to interpretation • Do not know the cause of the curtailment
– Variety of actors whose actions are unknown
• Suspected curtailments can be identified ex-post by examining plant output looking for: – Deviation between estimate of potential and actual
• Changing variability and uncertainty – i.e. how good is the estimate of potential?
– Patterns common to curtailment itself • Will be for at least ½ hour
– But might start at anytime and end at anytime • Will be for some fixed level of maximum output
– That might change (in discrete steps) over time • Fixed maximum output will be rounded to nearest MW
– but how much variability around this ?
• Two methods of identifying suspected curtailment have been developed
5
ISO-NE PUBLIC
Curtailment Identification Method 1
• Use the difference between the 5-minute ISOImposedEcoMax, the Short-term (i.e. 5-minute) windpower forecast, and the 5-minute average actual power output
– UnitControlMode >= 3 – Actual MW < ISOImposedEcoMax+1 – Forecast> ISOImposedEcoMax – Difference between Actual MW and ISOImposedEcoMax <= max(1, or
10% of the windplant nameplate) • Wind plants can very accurately generate at just below a fixed reference. • Financial benefit in generating as close to this fixed reference as possible • If a wind plant cannot hold to within 10% of nameplate (or 1MW whichever is
greater) of the ISOImposedEcoMax then it is not really curtailed, either: – The wind speed dropped (for deviations below) – The plant generated more than was allowed (for deviations above) – Or the wind plant put in a suboptimal control (e.g. extreme: “if the windplant is
curtailed by any amount at all then stop producing any power”)
6
ISO-NE PUBLIC
Curtailment Identification Method 2
• “analog” to “by inspection” approach using 5 minute average SCADA data for Wind High Limit and actual MegaWatt output
– Sliding window averages of 12 5-minute WHL and MW are created – MASD: Absolute value of deviation between actual values and sliding window
averages • Similar to “standard deviation” but is used in a manner that “slides across” the data -- in
order to allow for variable start and stop times • If the value of the MASD is below a threshold curtailment might be occurring
– UnitControlMode >= 3 – Sliding averaged WHL minus sliding averaged MW must be greater than 1MW – Sliding averaged WHL must be greater than 1MW – Sliding averaged WHL must not be “stuck” at some value – Sliding averaged MW must be limited to near integer values
• i.e. curtailments will not be made to a finer resolution than 1MW – Eliminate isolated short occurrences – curtailment will not be applied for less than
6 5-minute periods • Remove curtailment indicator if continuous for less than 20 minutes • Accumulate curtailment indicated periods that are separated by less than 20 continuous
minutes

ISO-NE PUBLIC
Determining how much Curtailment is occurring is also difficult
• Errors in the estimated potential output (WHL) • These errors are not constant
– Might be errors in the wind speed measurements – Wind speeds are not constant across the plant – Might change with wind direction due to wake effect – Might change with turbulence in the air due to loss of efficiency – Might change with other weather variables (density, icing accretion,
etc.) – Might be errors/simplifications in the calculations used
• Due to unknown effects of errors – Amount of curtailment is estimated using WHL minus Actual MW
output when WHL is greater than Actual MW output during the periods of identified suspected curtailment
8
ISO-NE PUBLIC
Reporting about Curtailment can be Market sensitive information
• Data must be normalized and sanitized for public distribution
• Participants may see their individual estimated curtailment data
• The next slides will show some examples of suspected curtailment
• Finally, estimated monthly curtailment data for 2015 (January through July) will be shown in aggregate and in normalized individual formats

Curtailment under Do Not Exceed dispatch
• DNE for DNE Dispatchable Generators is a combination of – Generator economics – Reliability need of system
• Perhaps more appropriate to call this “ungenerated wind” for wind plants, and “ungenerated water” for intermittent hydro
• Or maybe “spilled wind/water”
• LMPs and offer information is available to participant – This means that DNE dispatch can be parsed by each participant in
order to determine what were “reliability curtailments” and “economic decisions not to generate”
• Note that “economic decisions not to generate” stem directly from the offer prices submitted by the Participant!

Summary
• Wind power forecast is working better than expected • Curtailment is difficult to identify and quantify • Using two measures to estimate in order to “bookend” and validate • Individual plants can be heavily affected • Fleet (as a whole) curtailment
– ranges between 0 and approximately 5% of energy delivered in any given month
– Is usually less by energy and by % of energy delivered in months with less energy
• Individual participants may see their own estimated curtailment data
• “Curtailment” per se does not exist under DNE Dispatch • Under DNE Dispatch, congestion is managed in a manner similar to
the economic dispatch of traditional generators
