1 Renewables in Hawaii Mr. Dick Rosenblum President and CEO Hawaiian Electric Company NERC Board of Trustees Meeting Phoenix, Arizona February 6, 2014

2 2 Hawaii is Different Each Island is an independent grid We have no one to fall back on Frequency excursions are common We have no traditional generation fuel sources Our traditional generation has been petroleum-based We do have generous renewable resources Goal to reach 40% renewables by 2030 We are already at 18% Renewables are cost effective If we procure them successfully 10% of customers have DG (PV) NEM rates provide 2-3 year payback 30% Fed., 35% State and NEM We use load shed schemes for extreme events Used to have island-wide blackouts

3 Hawaiian Electric Service Area and 2013 Data 100% Market Share for 95% of state: 3 utilities, 5 separate grids 3 Kauai Oahu Maui Electric System peaks: 190 (Maui Island) 5.4 MW (Molokai) 5.0 MW (Lanai) Renewable generation 1 : 30% Molokai Maui Hawaiian Electric System peak: 1,144 MW Renewable generation 1 : 11% Hawaii 1 As a percentage of total sales Hawaii Electric Light System peak: 190 MW Renewable generation 1 : 49%

4 The Situation on Each Island is Different % Renewable Generation Through November Oil 71.30% Renewable 10.46% Coal 18.24% Biofuel 0.37% Solar 3.54% Waste to Energy 4.88% Wind 1.67% Oil 56.93% Renewable 43.07% Geothermal 23.13% Solar 4.15% Wind 12.66% Hydro 3.13% Oahu: 5.21% Variable Renewable Hawaii 19.9% Variable Renewable Solar 3.97% Oil 72.62% Renewable 26% Hydro 0.61% Wind 18.84% Coal 0.92% Biomass 3.04% Maui 23.42% Variable Renewable

5 Cumulative Installed PV (Hawaiian Electric Companies), MW Continued High Growth of PV in Hawaii % of circuits are already over 100% of their Daytime Minimum Load (DML) Aggregate peak load of all islands combined is about 1,550 MW

6 Renewable Energy % (RE/Net Gen) Renewable Generation Is a Significant Portion of Energy 6 80% Hawaii Electric Light Renewable Energy Percentage "Duration Curve" % 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Hours in 2013

8 Typical Renewable Contribution (Oahu: July 28, 2013) Impact of Rooftop Solar Wind Dip and Surge 8

9 Renewables During Tropical Storm Flossie (Oahu: July 29, 2013) 9 Impact of Rooftop Solar Wind shuts down in high wind regime

10 The Duck is Almost Here (Oahu January 22, 2014) 10 Cold and Sunny Day

11 What s Changing Theory on the Mainland is Reality in Hawaii 11 Generation Baseload and mid-merit driven off system Replaced with fast-start, fast-maneuver generation Significant generation is not visible or controllable (PV) Transmission Transients are magnified Sympathetic tripping of PV at high or low frequency Transients are accelerated Loss of inertia Less generating units to control transients Control measures are degraded UFLS reduced and variable due to DG Frequency instability Distribution Voltage variations Load rejection overvoltage Islanding Protection effectiveness Distributed solar could displace lower-cost wind energy in 2014 (Hawaii Island)

12 Mahalo!

13 Generation (MW) 20 Wind Impacts on Reserves (Hawaii Island) Wind Ramp Impact to System Hawaii and Maui islands operate with very low online reserve as fuel cost savings - when wind output is steady. Here, a wind ramp down after a period of steady output utilized all online reserves. HRD KAMAOA REG UP 4 2 Reserve near zero due to wind 0 12:00 12:15 12:30 12:45 13:00 13:15 13:30 13:45 14:00 14:15 Thursday, February 21, 2013

14 Use of Fast-Start Diesels - Wind Ramp 14 Hawaii Island Sudden downramp in wind (green) during morning load rise Frequency drop due to wind reduction Frequency restored by bringing on diesels (blue)

15 Fast Variability Frequency Impact Mitigated by Curtailment 15 Frequency oscillations (dark blue) caused by wind (yellow) - reduced by curtailing wind plant

16 Sunny, clear day = less demand on circuit for UFLS 16

17 Backup Slides Mr. Dick Rosenblum President and CEO Hawaiian Electric Company NERC Board of Trustees Meeting Phoenix, Arizona February 6, 2014

18 Change in Generation Mix Impacting System Reliability and Security Dispatchable, frequency responsive generation displaced to accommodate variable generation. Cycled offline or operated near minimum dispatch Increased rate of change of frequency Lower Nadir (frequency low point) and/or Additional Load-shed Increased average frequency error Potential voltage limit violations/ voltage instability Planning must identify generation operators need to maintain acceptable system security Requires modeling of variable gen impacts, including DG Individual gen models become very important in simulations Reduced security margins from historical operation Individual unit performance becomes critical to system response Customers could see more outages Post-disturbance review important to verify system performance Continue improved dynamics modeling through tests, real-time monitoring, PMU s 18

19 Impacts on Frequency Control / System Balancing for Island Grids Disadvantages of island systems All imbalance between generation and demand results in frequency error (no interchange) Single facility can have large influence on frequency, due to small system size Small frequency bias (can be 2-3 MW/.1 Hz on Maui and Hawaii) Limited ability to leverage geographic diversity to mitigate variability Operated closer to security constraints than most power systems Faults cause frequency/voltage deviations beyond typically experienced on mainland risk of large aggregate loss of gen from distributed generators Wind/solar PV difficult to forecast due to variable weather patterns Advantages of island systems No market operators have direct control of generating assets which maximizes operational flexibility: not constrained by market rules or design Generating resources used for peaking/emergency conditions on the islands provide flexible resources useful for variable generation (fast-start generating units) 19

20 Mitigation of Impacts on Frequency Control / Balancing Increased dispatchable gen operating range, ramp rates Measure/correct governor droop response for critical dispatchable generators to design (4-5%) Modifications to AGC to improve frequency control with wind generation Online Reserve modifications maintain online reserves for increased ramping and regulation requirements dynamic requirement based on observed variability and amount of variable gen Fast-starting generation used to mitigate unexpected ramp events 20

21 Measures Taken to Improve System Security/Frequency Control Interconnection requirements for all trans. connected gen including wind, large solar, and geothermal Droop, inertial response, ramp rate, voltage regulation voltage regulation, expanded disturbance ride-through requirements (reflecting island grid conditions) Active power control (curtailment) used routinely to avoid excess energy during lower-demand periods Used to smooth excessive variability Ramping control both up and down for wind plant (Maui Electric) Modified underfrequency Load shed schemes required for system dynamic behavior with new generation mix Tripping time reduced from 19 to 8 cycles on Hawaii island A time-delay block added for ramp-type contingencies (loss of combine cycle gas turbine or wind ramps) Fewer blocks, larger amount shed to restore closer to normal frequency Future: Measures to manage High Penetration of Distributed Gen Interconnection requirements for DG expanded ride-through, frequency response, voltage control (discussed more later) Dynamic Load-shed scheme (discussed more later) 21

22 22 Active Power Control needed for DG Island systems have significant amounts of must-take renewable generation (wind, hydro, geothermal) Excess energy conditions routinely occur during off-peak hours DG at forecast levels will force daytime curtailment and may force dispatchable units below minimums Island systems more vulnerable to system failure Once a portion of system is reenergized, DER will reconnect If a restoration is needed during high solar production, it will be difficult to balance the system (already a difficult task) Where feasible, communication and control by interfacing to DG relays from nearby sub RTU is being deployed

23 DG Behavior during Disturbances Impacting System Security Connecting DG are now required to use 57 Hz trip setting (but does not guarantee ride-through) Legacy DG trip at 59.3 Hz IEEE 1547 default Recent daytime generator trip on Oahu, MW of PV tripped. Estimates based on different methods; using solar data and system response Increased largest contingency by 27-36% Over frequency trip settings are also critical Loss of PV occurring for transmission faults under normal clearing on Oahu, resulting in low-frequency 23

24 DG Behavior During Voltage Disturbances Undervoltage trip setting is also a concern Island systems experience momentary wide-spread low-voltages during faults and contingencies Aggregate loss of DER may exacerbate conditions when disconnecting for low voltage (effectively increasing load during low voltage) Need to determine the voltage ride-through requirement at distribution level Ride-through requirements will help mitigate system impacts but may require mitigation of risk for circuit island detection settings must be a balance of circuit and system needs 24

25 Voltage Ride-Through 25

26 DG Impact on Underfrequency Loadshed Effectiveness Island systems rely heavily on underfrequency load-shed (UFLS) for loss of generation contingencies Distributed Solar PV cause circuit load to vary significantly throughout the day DER loss offsets effective load reduction from shedding UFLS circuits Illustrated on next slide 26

27 Impact on Underfrequency Loadshed Scheme More circuits (and customers) being shed than in the past for the same generator contingency For higher levels, scheme may be insufficient to prevent system failure Dynamic scheme may be necessary to reflect impact of DG on amount of load available Need to determine largest contingency including contribution from DER Requires aggregate estimate of DER production UFLS relays be would set based on actual circuit net demand Some circuits may export during high PV production UFLS need to be blocked when circuit exporting 27

28 Operations Impacts from Changes in Net Demand Net demand more variable, less predictable Beginning to integrate wind and solar forecasting into operations Two peaks (morning and evening) with valley in the middle caused by increased distr. PV Changes types of units needed Cycling, quick start, fast ramping, able to operate short periods (small minimum up / down times) Units historically operated continuously may need to cycle offline to avoid excessive costs by operating at inefficient levels Cycling capabilities and costs being studied 28

29 29 Demand Forecasting Wind and Solar Impacts on Demand Less predictable net demand makes it difficult for operators to decide when to start up and shutdown generators increases costs Forecasting is more critical as more units historically operated continuously are cycled offline Island systems must balance system at all times imbalance = frequency error Today: Adjusting commitment using existing tools Adjust online reserves for real-time observed variability Solar models incorporating connected PV are being tested Wind forecast models were constructed for specific windfarm sites and are also being tested by operations Future: Improve weather forecasting models and tools Need to develop day-ahead unit commitment tools to incorporate the forecasts to facilitate offline cycling Real-time production and availability data would improve forecasts

Diesels were used to restore frequency. Wind ramped back up following the event.

32 Daily PV Impact on Net Demand Monday Through Sunday - Hawaii Island 32 Red line: measured net system demand (customer demand PV) Blue line: estimated customer demand without reduction from PV Estimated Solar Production

33 Molokai Day Demand Lower Than Night Minimum Due to PV 33

34 34 Estimating PV Production Measured data from production required to tune solar production forecasting and for operators to understand changes in net demand Approximation technique is being used based on solar irradiance monitors, scale by nearby capacity This method has improved visibility This method creates administrative burden to update rapidly increasing installed capacity

35 Recent snap-shot of Hawaii Island overview display. Colored circles indicate PV level. PV estimated to provide 17% of total demand (161.2 MW) 35

36 36 Summary of Actions Challenges of distributed generation are more difficult than transmission-connected generation due to 1547 rules and large number of small participants Planning for Operational Configurations to Maintain System Security Include DG in system planning models Need for tools to allow rapid updates Identify combinations of generation that should be able to provide acceptable system security through network security analysis Implement system changes such as modified UFLS scheme, dynamic UFLS scheme Interconnection Requirements to maintain System Security and Operability Active power control Ride-through Voltage control Needed for Distributed Generation as amounts are equivalent or exceed largest transmission generator Develop Operator Controls and Tools Identify the minimum online generation for system security Forecasting tools and Unit commitment incorporating forecast uncertainty (day ahead, updates) Real-time Visibility and Control for Aggregate Variable and Distributed Gen Flexible Generation: Fast starting Generation and/or Demand Response, faster ramp rates, cycling capability, larger dispatch range Review system behavior post-disturbance, identify any new concerns or problems and improve system models (PMU data useful) studies cannot identify all potential issues! Need operational experience.
