1 Renewable Integration Impact Assessment (RIIA) Overview Current progress and initial findings Next steps Planning Advisory Committee Jordan Bakke April 18, 18 Updated June 18, 18

2 Renewable Integration Impact Assessment (RIIA) seeks to find inflection points of renewable integration complexity Focus Areas: Resource Adequacy Energy Adequacy Operating Reliability Renewable Integration Complexity RIIA begins by modeling the current system. Inflection points are milestones where complexity significantly increases. Illustrative example Renewable Energy Penetration (steps of 10%) 2

3 By examining increasing penetrations of renewables, the Resource Adequacy Focus Area produced several key takeaways 1. Risk of losing load compresses into a small number of hours and shifts to later in the day 2. As a result of the shift in risk of losing load, the available energy from wind and solar during high risk hours decreases 3. Diversity of technologies and geography improves the ability of renewables to meet load 3

4 Wind, utility-scale PV and distributed PV were forecasted to assess the impact on the MISO system Cumulative Installed Capacity (GW) Wind Utility PV Distributed PV Energy Mix: 7.5% 17.5% 75% 0 Base 10% % 30% % 50% % 70% 80% 90% 100% Renewable Generation Availability (% of Load Energy) 4 For more information, see the RIIA Assumptions Document.

5 Power Output* (GW) As renewable penetration increases, the risk of losing load shifts and compresses to a smaller number of hours Wind Solar Renewable penetration Solar ramps down sharply at end of the day. Probability of losing load is targeted at one day in ten years over all penetration levels. While aggregate risk remains constant, the risk in particular hours increases. *Profile shapes represent hourly averages across all days of the 6 study years. Net load diurnal profile* (GW) Base 10% % 30% % 50% % 70% 80% 90% 100% Time (EST) Risk of losing load compresses to a smaller number of hours. Net peak load shifts from 3 pm to 6 pm. RISK 0.06% 0.05% 0.04% 0.03% 0.02% 0.01% 0.00% Loss of load probability

6 Changes to net load shapes are seasonal, however the risk of losing load still occurs during the summer at higher penetration levels Renewable Gen* (GW) Winter Renewable Gen* (GW) Summer Net Load* (GW) Net Load* (GW) Hour (EST) Hour (EST) 6 *Profile shapes represent seasonal hourly averages across the 6 study years.

7 As a result of the shift in risk of losing load, the available energy from wind and solar during high risk hours decreases 70% As penetration levels increase and the net peak load timing shifts: ELCC* for wind decreases slightly ELCC for solar sees a steeper drop-off These values are reflective of ELCC calculated separately for wind and solar to isolate the impacts of each technology. ELCC (%) % 50% % 30% % 10% 0% Solar Only Wind Only Installed Capacity by Technology (GW) *Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) is a measure of the additional load that the system can supply with the particular generator of interest, with no net change in reliability. 7
