1 Best Practices in Risk-Based Resource Planning A Case Study of NorthWestern s Acquisition of Hydros Presenters: Gary Dorris, PhD August 4, 2015
2 Overview of Ascend Short, Intermediate, & Long-Tem: operating and planning analytics Founded in 2002, continuing steady growth, currently with over 30 employees Offices in Boulder CO, Oakland CA, and Bozeman MT Decision Analysis Timeframe One Model Through Time Operational Strategy (PowerSimm OPS) Intermediate Analytics (PowerSimm Portfolio Manager) Long-term Planning (PowerSimm Planner) Today 10 days 1 month to ~5 years ~6 years to 30+ years Optimal short-term dispatch Short-term load & price forecasting Decision support for trading Portfolio management Energy purchases and sales CFaR, GMaR, EaR Power Planning, IRP Asset valuation Cost versus risk tradeoff resource analysis Renewable integration studies 2 ascend analytics
3 Case Study in Resource Planning NorthWestern Energy 3 ascend analytics
4 Ascend Planning $1 billion utility hydro acquisition in 2014 for NorthWestern Energy Ascend provided economic and physical modeling of Hydros In Evergreen s opinion, NorthWestern s efforts are fully consistent with industry best practices 4 ascend analytics
5 Best Practices in Resource Analysis Portfolio perspective Fuel diversity Reliability and intermittent resources Uncertainty in fuel, emissions, and power Use of market for fuel and power Analyze generation resource options with respect to market dynamics Capture new dynamics Weather Load Wind generation Market conditions Forward markets for fuel and power Spot price dynamics Resource adequacy Reliable service at cost effective rates Market interactions 5 ascend analytics
6 Need for New Tools to Incorporate Uncertainty Deterministic vs. Stochastic Models Heavy dependence on deterministic results with scenarios The likelihood of result is not understood Model inputs are variable and interdependent Deterministic modeling misses critical scenarios producing an inconsistent value What s the impact of unused information? Inaccurate forecasting Assessing risk becomes difficult One outcome for deterministi c 6 ascend analytics
7 PowerSimm use in NorthWestern Energy IRP 7 ascend analytics
8 Key Points of Analysis Supply Cost and Risk = costs and uncertainty in energy supply costs (fixed and variable) Risk Premium = monetized value of risk uncertainty in supply costs Net Position Exposure = balance of NWE resources relative to load obligations Supply portfolios to be assessed: Market purchases Purchase of PPL hydro (494 MW) Combined cycle (239 MW) Optional Analysis Reliability of supply Flexibility function 8 ascend analytics
9 Acquisition of PPL Hydro Assets Generator MW Net Capacity Factor (%) Storage (A/F) Thompson Falls ,970 Mystic Lake Kerr* ,000 Madison ,200 Hebgen ,000 Hauser Lake ,253 Holter ,000 Black Eagle ,820 Rainbow ,050 Cochrane ,700 Ryan ,000 Morony ,700 Total ,693 *Kerr generation rights end in ascend analytics
10 Net Position Report MWh/year 2,000,000 1,000,000 - (1,000,000) (2,000,000) (3,000,000) (4,000,000) (5,000,000) (6,000,000) Annual Net Position Current Current + CC Current + Hydro 10 ascend analytics
11 Main results: Range of likely costs through time Over the 30 year study horizon, the hydro asset reduces the exposure of NWE ratepayers to price spikes and narrows the range of potential costs 1,400 Annual Supply Costs 1,200 1,000 $Millions Current P5 P95 Current + CC P5 P95 Current + Hydro P5 P95 $455M $403M $289M 11 ascend analytics
12 CO2 price distribution In this analysis, CO2 prices are modeled beginning in year 2021 CO2 prices in $/tonnes are modeled using a triangular distribution with a miniumum of 0, a mode of 21, and a maximum of 42 The mode is consistent with the EIA forecast for CO2 prices As shown in the figure below, these CO2 price assumptions are conservative relative to other plans 12 ascend analytics
13 Distribution of Costs How do we measure the difference in risk between the portfolios? RP measures the dollar value of risk. Effective cost = Risk premium (RP) + cost Consider: Base = has higher costs and more risks Base+CC = adding CC slightly reduces risk Base+Hydro = reduces costs and substantially reduces risk to market prices of fuel, power, and potentially CO 2 13 ascend analytics
14 NPV Total Cost of Supply 30 Year Risk Premium adds to the cost advantage of Current + Hydro Cost of Supply = Fuel Cost + Variable O&M + Emission Costs + Market Purchases Market Sales + New Gen Capital Costs 14 ascend analytics
15 Aggregation & Monetization of Risk 15 ascend analytics
16 Risk Premium Definition Risk Premium captures the expected value of the upper tail of the cost distribution for each portfolio Similar to established means of valuing a financial option, or an insurance policy c = Expected cost Probability p 1 Risk premium is the probabilityweighted average of costs exceeding the mean Risk premium = i=1 (c i c ) p i p i : Probability of cost c i k p k c 1 Total portfolio costs $M c k 16 ascend analytics
17 Risk Premium Calculation Risk Premium (RP) monetizes the portfolio risks Risk Reduction Value = RP(Current of $451M) RP(Current + Hydro of $247M) = $204M NPV of risk premium $Millions $500 $450 $400 $350 $300 $250 $200 $150 $100 $50 $- $451 $380 $247 Current Current + CC Current + Hydro 17 ascend analytics
18 NPV Total Cost of Supply 30 Year Risk Premium adds to the cost advantage of Current + Hydro Cost of Supply = Fuel Cost + Variable O&M + Emission Costs + Market Purchases Market Sales + New Gen Capital Costs 18 ascend analytics
19 Definition of Common Planning Risk Metrics Cost at Risk (CaR) for Rev Req = CaR = 95 th percent costs mean costs Standard deviation (Std) of Ann Rev Req (ARR) = Std = E[AAA 2 ] (E AAA ) 2 How do you decide where to be on the frontier? Avista IRP 2011 Timing: Avoid roll-up effect over long time horizons CaR of Rev Requirements (standard risk metric) Ave annual over study period Max annual over study period Reflect 1 in 20 events Standard deviation (66 th percentile) year over year change in Rev Requirements Used by Avista, PacifiCorp Reflects 1 in 3 events 19 ascend analytics

39 Deterministic capacity expansion optimization: Best athlete The best expansion plan for each scenario is akin to the best athlete for each sport. Which is the best plan for overall scenarios? Different conditions yield different optimal plans Objective: Find the cheapest capacity expansion plan that satisfies the constraints Cheapest is often defined as the net present value of the revenue requirements Constraints : Reliability, RPS requirements, ancillary services Result: Optimal capacity expansion of generation resources and conservation options to minimize revenue requirements subject constraints. Best swimmer/runner/cyclist is a sports analogy referring to the best expansion plan from a deterministic run (single forecast) of simulated weather, load, and renewables.
