5 Bulk Power vs. Load Distribution Bulk Power Transmission NYISO is responsible for controlling the transmission of power across the high-voltage transmission network, which is maintained by the Transmission Owners Distribution System Transmission Owners are responsible for distributing power across the lower voltage transmission network to consumers Management of Retail Load Consumption Load Serving Entities buy power at the wholesale level to sell to consumers at the retail level 5

10 Basic Fundamentals Common Terms Load (Demand) Total electric power consumed by all users connected to the distribution network of a system, and also the power used to compensate for losses in all parts of the network. Generation Equipment that converts energy sources, e.g. mechanical, solar, etc. into electrical energy for consumption by the load. Transmission Bulk transfer of electrical energy from the generating power plants to electrical substations located near load (demand) centers. 10

11 Basic Fundamentals Common Terms Bus A conductor or group of conductors that serve as a common connection point for two or more electric circuits. Contingency A circumstance that is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Constraint A limitation to the system that prevents optimal transfer of power from generation to load. Contingency Circuit Breaker Tripping 11

12 Basic Fundamentals Common Terms Watt Unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer. Megawatt Equal to 1 million watts. Generation is produced/sustained on this scale. Megawatt-Hour 1 million watts consumed over 1 hour = 1 MWHr ½ million watts over 2 hours = 1 MWHr Voltage The force that moves electricity. 100 Watts 10, W Lightbulbs = 1MW 10, W Lightbulbs energized for 1 hour would consume 1 MWHr 12

13 Basic Fundamentals Common Terms New York Control Area (NYCA) The area in which the NYISO, among other things, balances load and generation, which includes the entire state of New York. Rest of State (ROS) For purposes of the Capacity Market, all areas of the New York control area excluding Load Zones G (Hudson Valley), H (Millwood), I (Dunwoodie), J (NY City), and K (Long Island). Interface Group of transmission lines that define an internal or external boundary. 13

46 Operational Ancillary Services. 46

47 Operational Ancillary Services Purpose Behind Voltage Support Regulation & Frequency Control Operating Reserves Black Start Service 47

48 Voltage Support Voltage Support is needed to: Transfer power from the generation to the load Prevent equipment damage from high voltages Prevent voltage collapse during high load periods Water Pressure Analogy No Pressure No Flow 48

49 Operational Ancillary Services Voltage and Reactive Power VAR = Volt-Amperes Reactive = Reactive Power Reactive Power supports the Voltage that must be controlled within limits for System Reliability Too few VARs, Voltage goes Down Too many VARs, Voltage goes Up Not load but cannot move WATTs without VARs Wheelbarrow analogy Reactive Power lifting the wheelbarrow handles Real power move the load by pushing the wheelbarrow 49

50 Operational Ancillary Services System Voltage Control Voltage Control is a Continuous Process System Voltage Control provided by the Voltage Support Service is an Optional program in which Generators can participate Generator monitors local voltage Must utilize Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Transmission Owners (TO) are responsible for Local Control within their Network 50

53 Operational Ancillary Services Regulation and Frequency Control Areas are Controlled by Functional Entities defined by NERC as Balancing Authorities (BA) The NYISO is a Balancing Authority 53

54 Operational Ancillary Services Control Area Operation Criteria is set forth to instantaneously Balance Load and Generation throughout the Eastern interconnection In order to sustain a 60 Hz Frequency Load Generation 54

55 Operational Ancillary Services System Frequency Changes Load Increases without Generation Increase L F Generation Increases without Load Increase G F 55

56 Operational Ancillary Services Frequency Control 17,000 MW 17,000 MW 60 MPH 56

57 Operational Ancillary Services Frequency Control Effect of Increasing Load 17,000 MW 17,200 MW Hz 17,000 MW MPH 57

58 Operational Ancillary Services Frequency Control Generation needs to be increased to maintain Load-Gen Balance and to maintain frequency at 60 Hz. 17,200 MW 17,200 MW 58

59 Operational Ancillary Services Area Control Error (ACE) ACE is an error signaled created when the Actual Net Interchange and Desired Net Interchange (scheduled) are different 0 The ACE formula also uses the system frequency to ensure the Balancing Authority is contributing to frequency regulation of the interconnection A negative ACE means that the control area is under generating A positive ACE means that the control area is over generating The ACE signal is used to move the regulating units up or down A reserve pick-up may be used to return to schedule if the Area Control Error (ACE) exceeds ( )100 MW 59

60 Operational Ancillary Services Automatic Generation Control (AGC) Compensates for Over or Under Generation NYISO measurements are gathered every 6 Seconds Automatic control provided by Regulating units (Regulation Service) Regulating units are dispatched every 6 Seconds based on ACE 60

61 Operational Ancillary Services System Frequency Impacts Industrial & Commercial Equipment Operating at 60 Hz will be impacted Industrial Motors, Refrigerators, Laundry Machines, Clocks, etc. Generator s Rotational Speed is tied to the Frequency of the System Cascading effect to Generation Load continually increasing, Generation trips off-line 61

63 Operational Ancillary Services NYCA Black Start Service Generators capable of starting without an outside Electric Supply, following a System-Wide blackout 9 Nov July August

64 Black Start - Priorities in Restoration Energizing the backbone transmission path of the NYS Power System. Synchronizing the NYS Power System with the interconnection. Restoring off-site power supplies to nuclear power plants. The next priority shall be load restoration. If there is limited energy available within the NYCA, preference shall be given to generating station startup, followed by the restoration of the high-density load portions of the system. 64

65 Operational Ancillary Services Operating Reserves Backup Generation in the event of a System Contingency NYSRC Total Operating Reserve Requirement: Must Procure to 1.5 x times the Largest Single Contingency (in MW) Largest Single Contingency is 1310 MWs NYISO Procures 2 x Largest Single Contingency 2 x 1310 = 2,620 MWs of Total Reserves each Market Day Regional/Locational Requirements Time/Product Type Requirements 65

A: MW Q: According to NYISO s Reserves scheduling process, how much in Operating Reserves would be scheduled in this example? A: MW 100 MW B 200 MW C 40 MW D off line A 66

67 Example: Small Reserve Pickup New reserve units would need to be selected to maintain Operating Reserves. 301 Lightning strikes the 92 line Substation A Substation B 91 Substation C The reserves being held in NYC & LI would be asked to start generating. 67

68 Let s Review Operating Reserves Identify the NYISO Reserve Requirement for a largest single contingency of 1000 MWs: a. 500 MWs b. 750 MWs c MWs d MWs 68
