RECENT WESTERN INTERSTATE ENERGY BOARD WORK ON RENEWABLE INTEGRATION WESTERN CLEAN ENERGY ADVOCATES JANUARY 8, 2015 BRIAN PARSONS, WESTERN GRID GROUP

Taking Advantage of Debbie Lew’s 2 months consulting to WIEB Aimed at regulatory/energy office technical education 2 main products: Variable Energy Resources checklist – taxonomy of questions to raise in response to common issues Western Interconnection Regional Advisory Body (WIRAB) 5 webinars on VER Integration topics Debbie is now GE Energy staff and project-constrained

A final Version will be posted in Early January, A short intro on how to use the checklist is in the works as well

WIRAB WEBINAR SERIES #1 Utility Operations - VER Reliability and Integration Basic utility operations: balancing, unit commitment and dispatch, reserves, and forecasting #2 Ramping Issues and Solutions Duck curve, flexibility, markets #3 Frequency Response Interconnect wide disturbance response: inertia, governor response, under frequency load shedding, advanced inverter control #4 Transient Stability Rotor angle and power swing stability, reactive power, synchronous condensers and other mitigation #5 Distributed Generation PV concerns, Germany, IEEE 1547, CA Smart Inverter Working Group

Excellent material for wide variety of stakeholder backgrounds Condensed explanations sufficient to converse on utility specifics Useful in dissecting reliability claims and road blocks Idea for Advocate Engagement: o “Book-club” approach o Listen on own, or specific time scheduled? o Follow-up with group discussion, Q&A westernenergyboard.org/wirab/webinars

ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR WCEA INTEGRATION DISCUSSIONS WWSIS 3 final report is public, Nick Miller NERC IVGTF presentation is best distillation FERC CPP reliability, markets, and infrastructure technical conferences National Level February 19, Washington DC 3 Regional conferences, including Denver, February 25

ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR WCEA INTEGRATION DISCUSSIONS 2015 TEPPC Study Request Window Open until January 31, 2015 Upcoming UVIG meetings Forecasting Workshop, February Denver, CO Spring Technical Workshop and Annual Meeting, April Minneapolis, MN Fall Technical Workshop, October San Diego, CA
