2 Transport Coal to Power Plants or Generate Power at Coal Mines? Coal By Wire (Generation at Mine Mouth) Avoids Coal Shipment Costs 2

3 Transmission Load Carrying Capability Coal by wire will require increased transmission Increasing the generation capacity at any existing coal fired power plant will be constrained by the load carrying capability of the existing transmission lines If the existing lines have high load factors then it might be necessary to consider building more transmission capacity 3

4 Indiana s Power Grid 765 kv & 345 kv Indiana s South West Mining Region Transmission lines criss-cross the state 4

5 Line Load Carrying Capability & Congestion An electricity network has a limited transmission capacity Congestion arises due to lack of transmission capacity to accommodate all power flows When an interconnection becomes congested, power flows have to be curtailed to relieve the load 5

6 The Midwest Independent System Operator, MISO The Midwest ISO is committed to reliability, the nondiscriminatory operation of the bulk power transmission system, & to working with all stakeholders to create cost-effective & innovative solutions for a changing industry 6

7 About the Midwest ISO, MISO The Midwest ISO: (1) Ensures reliable operation of & equal access to 93,600 miles of interconnected, high-voltage power lines in 15 U.S. states & the Canadian province of Manitoba (2) Manages one of the world's largest energy markets, clearing more than $2 Billion in energy transactions monthly (3) Approved as the nation's first regional transmission organization (RTO) in 2001 (4) Is a non-profit 501(C)4 organization & governed by an independent Board of Directors, headquartered in Carmel IN. Operations centers Carmel IN & St.Paul MN 7

8 14 MISO States (+ Manitoba) 8

9 NERC Map, North American Electric Reliability Corporation & its 8 Regions The NERC was established at federal level to ensure reliability of electricity supplies 9

10 US Department of Energy (DOE) Congestion Areas of Concern These are areas where a large-scale congestion problem exists or may be emerging, but more information & analysis appear to be needed to determine the magnitude of the problem & the likely relevance of transmission expansion & other solutions. The DOE has identified four Congestion Areas of Concern: New England The Phoenix Tucson area The Seattle Portland area The San Francisco Bay area Source: NATIONAL ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION CONGESTION STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AUGUST 2006, U.S. Department of Energy 10

11 DOE Congestion Areas of Concern Source: NATIONAL ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION CONGESTION STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, AUGUST 2006, U.S. Department of Energy 11

12 Congestion & PTDF In order to maintain reliability the North American Reliability Corporation, NERC, uses a parameter called the Power Transfer Distribution Factor (PTDF) The PTDF method prevents the dispatch of potentially congesting power-flow from occurring PTDFs are calculated at specific points on the transmission system. These points are called flowgates Flowgates (FG) are an essential element of the transmission system used for managing congestion 829 flowgates were used in the MISO period of which 262 (32%) had previous history of congestion 12

26 MISO s 5 Guiding Principles Make the benefits of a competitive energy market available to customers by providing access to the lowest possible electric energy costs Provide a transmission infrastructure that safeguards local and regional reliability Support state and federal renewable energy objectives by planning for access to all such resources (e.g. wind, biomass, demand side management). Create a mechanism to ensure investment implementation occurs in a timely manner Develop a transmission system scenario model and make it available to state and federal energy policy makers to provide context and make informed choices Source: Midwest ISO Board of Directors, Statement of Guiding Principles for the Midwest ISO Transmission Expansion Plans 26

27 Examples of Indiana s Shipments of Coal & Electricity AEP has its large generators located outside of its service area but in close proximity to the coal supplies. Its 765 kv transmission line takes AEP electricity north (Cincinnati dispatch) NIPSCO has coal transported to its largest power plant which is located in its northern Indiana service area but is outside the coal mining region 27
