3 Objectives of this session Understand industry standards for reliability and BC Hydro s Planning Criteria Understand how reliability is currently treated in portfolios Confirm committee is satisfied these criteria will allow BC Hydro to meet the reliability objective 3/31/05 Page 3

4 Reliability - definition Adequacy The ability of the electric system to supply the aggregate electrical demand and energy requirements of their customers at all times, taking into account scheduled and reasonably expected unscheduled outages of system elements Security The ability of the electric system to withstand sudden disturbances such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system elements. 3/31/05 Page 4

5 Why Planning Criteria and how are they used? Ensure BC Hydro has a reliable system Requirement to meet certain planning criteria to be connected to western North America grid Dictate when new resources or upgrades are needed for reliability 3/31/05 Page 5

6 Reliability : Customers and BCH perspectives Generation Transmission Distribution CHL zero 15% 85% Consequence -severe - severe -local - system wide - wide spread -outages problems blackouts - economic - economic - local impacts impacts impacts Customers Customer Hours Lost (CHL) Time to Restore frequency Duration 3/31/05 Page 6

7 Agenda for Presentation Review industry reliability standards Explain BC Hydro s current planning criteria for Generation, Transmission, and Distribution 3/31/05 Page 7

8 Regulatory and Reliability groups 3/31/05 Page 8

9 Regulatory Authority BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) BCUC has regulatory authority over BC Hydro, and approves BC Hydro s reliability standards. NERC (National Electricity Reliability Council) NERC is a voluntary organization that is responsibility for Transmission reliability standards in the US NERC is promoting the development of a new mandatory system of reliability standards and compliance, backstopped in the United States by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 3/31/05 Page 9

10 Regional Reliability Councils Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) Establishes mandatory operation standards and guidelines that describe good planning practices Required by NERC to establish a resource adequacy processes 3/31/05 Page 10

11 Western Interstate Board and CREPP Western Interstate Board is an organization of 3 provinces (including BC) and 12 western states Committee on Regional Electric Power Cooperation (CREPC) Concentrating on resource assessment 3/31/05 Page 11

12 Conclusions for Regulatory All regulatory agencies and governments at all levels are interested in Reliability Due to the interconnection of the bulk electric system, joint planning and co-ordination is required. 3/31/05 Page 12

13 Reliability : Customers and BCH perspectives Generation Transmission Distribution CHL zero 15% 85% Consequence -severe - severe -local - system wide - wide spread -outages problems blackouts - economic - economic - local impacts impacts impacts Customers Customer Hours Lost (CHL) Time to Restore frequency Duration 3/31/05 Page 13

16 Constraints in BC Hydro s System BC Hydro historically was energy constrained, but now capacity requirements are often driving new resource acquisitions. Both energy and capacity reliability metrics are required and used by BC Hydro Peak Load (MW) 6,816 7,513 8,646 10,143 Capacity Reserve 33% 26% 25% 15% 3/31/05 Page 16

28 Transmission Reliability Planning 3/31/05 Page 28

29 WECC/NERC Planning Standards (Revised April 10, 2003) Includes mandatory standards and guidelines that describe good planning practices Requirements are primarily to avoid cascading outages and affecting the control area s neighbour. Minimum operating reliability general system instability, uncontrolled separation, cascading outages, or voltage collapse will not occur as a result of any single contingency or multiple contingency of sufficiently high likelyhood Single contingencies (N-1) should not lead to loss of demand or curtailed firm transfers (although interruptions to local network customers connected to the faulted element may occur) 3/31/05 Page 29

30 WECC Mandatory Operating Reserves Greater of - single contingency - sum of 5% (hydro) and 7% (thermal) of load WECC also sets requirements for spinning reserve BC Hydro is part of Northwest Power Pool, which has a reserve sharing agreement. 3/31/05 Page 30

31 Transmission Planning and IEP BC Hydro gives portfolios to BCTC, who indicate what reinforcements are required to meet N-1 contingency and other stability requirements. 3/31/05 Page 31

32 Distribution Planning 3/31/05 Page 32

33 Distribution Distribution Reliability is currently undertaken based on historical performance of the distribution system combined with performance targets for improvement or maintenance of current performance. The system performance is measured in terms of frequency and duration of outages including the resulting Customer Hours Lost (CHL) metric. Based on actual performance and economics, Distribution targets areas where frequent, long and high number of customers impacted outages have occurred. 3/31/05 Page 33

34 Distributed Generation and Reliability Distributed Generation may have some benefit in local area and affect CHL metric. This is not measured in our portfolio analysis. Distributed Generation could have some cost savings in Distribution Lines that is not accounted for in our portfolio analysis. May be able to apply general rules of thumb for cost savings. 3/31/05 Page 34

35 Reliability - Summary Objective of Reliability met by: 14% capacity planning reserve MW interie Firm energy to meet load under critical water N-1 contingency for transmission planning 3/31/05 Page 35
