15 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY15 Coordination Items with WECC LMTF & MVWG Distributed Generation Modeling Guidance Software Benchmarking Robust Default Datasets Modularized Approach

16 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY16 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation For purposes of this discussion, we use the following definitions: Distributed Generation (DG): Utility-scale generating resources integrated at the distribution level such as industrial or commercial rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, or solar PV power plants. Distributed Energy Resources (DER): Smaller-scale individual installations of generating resources at the distribution level such as residential rooftop solar or other behind-the-meter generation.

17 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY17 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Simple Powerflow Modeling Modeled Distribution Transformer

18 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY18 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Composite Load Model in Stability Programs

19 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY19 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation DER in the Composite Load Model

20 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY20 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation DER and DG in the Composite Load Model

21 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY21 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Recommended Modeling Practice for DG and DER in Dynamic Load Models

22 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY22 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Thresholds for DG and DER Modeling DG Modeling: Any individual DG facility rated 10 MVA or higher should be modeled explicitly in the powerflow case at the low- side of the transmission-distribution transformer. A dynamics record, such as PV1 model, is required to account for the transient behavior of this plant. DER Modeling: If the gross aggregate nameplate rating of all distributed resources including DG and DER exceeds this threshold, these distributed resource should be accounted for in dynamic simulations as part of the dynamic load model. While this may not require any explicit representation in the base case, the amount of DER should be accounted for in the load record and/or integrated into the dynamic model.

23 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY23 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Thresholds for DG and DER Modeling (Cont.) EXAMPLE What should these thresholds be? Looking for WECC MVWG/LMTF/REMTF input here.

24 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY24 Modeling Guidance: Distributed Generation Recommended Modeling Practices Defined thresholds for DG for explicit modeling in powerflow and dynamics cases Defined thresholds for DER for explicit representation in the dynamic load model (and powerflow, as applicable) Inclusion of DER as part of powerflow modeling requirements Use of PV1 model, or comparable, for representing the DG Use of composite load model, or comparable, for representing the DER in the dynamics case Use of (modified) LTC1 model to represent LTC actions in dynamics (area- or zone-based with voltage thresholds) Looking for feedback on draft recommended practices

25 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY25 Software Benchmarking Need to coordinate on benchmarking efforts WECC LMTF developing report on benchmarking  How is this getting integrated into a standardized process?  Have each of the Coordinated plan at last NERC LMTF meeting  Utility industry (NERC/WECC LMTF members) develop test suite of event datasets  Provide test datasets to vendors  Vendors to perform benchmarking for each test dataset using playback models  Vendors to provide results in standardized data format for NERC/WECC LMTF review and reporting Future models must be numerically stable for all test datasets

26 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY26 Software Benchmarking Load Model Test Dataset Underfrequency Event Overfrequency Event Voltage Ramp Normally Cleared 3-phase Fault Delayed Clearing 3-phase Fault Sustained Voltage Sag – 90% Sustained Voltage Sag – 75% Voltage Swell (Overvoltage) Oscillation Frequencies

27 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY27 Robust Default Datasets Hamody brought up discrepancies between current WECC.dyd compared with NERC LMTF recommended default parameters Motor protection parameters changed based on recent meeting discussion and understanding of end-use loads  Ttr1A changed from 0.02 ms to 0.1 ms –EMS-type tripping, not contactors  May have significant impact for normally cleared main grid faults Slightly different Vtr1A/1B/1C voltage trip thresholds  Reduced by 0.05 pu, may have impact on simulation results Questions:  Process for making these type of changes to the WECC CLM records?  Is WECC LMTF/MVWG going to adopt these new default parameters? Want to bring this up for discussion with WECC LMTF membership

28 RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY28 Modularized Modeling Approach Modular, simplified load model dataset is a need across industry PSLF currently testing new approach  What are other software vendors doing? What is their plan? This needs to be coordinated. Discussions at NERC LMTF to explore simplified CLM/new CLM  Represents distribution system  Uses more up-to-date motor models  Includes progressive tripping/stalling functions for motors  Significantly simplified dataset  Would like to get WECC LMTF membership feedback
