  1. ISO-NE RTEP04 PUBLIC MEETING Comments of the U.S. Department of Energy Boston, MA September 9, 2004 Larry Mansueti Office of Electric Transmission and Distribution U.S. Department of Energy

  2. August 14, 2003 Blackout Source: NOAA/DMSP

  3. Effects of the Blackout August 14, 2003 Blackout 2x Size of largest previous blackout in North America (in MW lost) 8U.S. states affected 1Canadian province affected 3 Deaths 50 Million people without electricity $4.5 - $10 Billion in U.S. economic losses. 12 Airports closed 23Cases of looting in Ottawa 250+ Power plants shut down 9,300 Square miles affected 61,800 MW of power lost 1.5 MillionCleveland residents without water

  4. U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force • Final Report of Task Force included 46 recommendations • “Trim your trees, train your operators, and ensure that your systems work, and the risk of blackout is greatly reduced”. • Jimmy Glotfelty, DOE, in IEEE Spectrum, Aug. 2004

  5. Massive joint U.S.-Canada-NERC-investigation identified the causes of the blackout NERC and Task Force issued recommendations Direct causes of blackout were addressed through remedial action under NERC oversight by June 30 NERC conducted 23 readiness audits of control areas and reliability coordinators in the Eastern Interconnection Virtually all grid operators received five days of emergency preparedness training before June 30 U.S. and Canada established Bilateral ERO Oversight Group to ensure coordinated response to reliability governance concerns Government agencies tracking progress on implementing the Task Force’s recommendations NERC extended life of its Urgent Action Standard 1200 to August 2005 and is developing a successor version Key Accomplishments Since the Blackout This report can be accessed at http://www.electricity.doe.gov/news/blackout. cfm?section=news&level2=blackout

  6. Office of Electric T&D Mission: Electricity Modernization • “…it's clear that the power grid needs an overhaul. It needs to be modernized. As we go into an exciting new period of American history, we want the most modern electricity grid for our people… we need more investment; we need research and development…” • George W. Bush • September 15, 2003

  7. Other 4 Completing Market Transition 12 Investing Effectively 23 Improving Operations 12 Topic National Transmission Grid Study • The National Interest in Relieving Transmission Bottlenecks • Next Steps Toward Relieving Transmission Bottlenecks • Relieving Transmission Bottlenecks By Completing the Transition to Competitive Regional Wholesale Electricity Markets • Establishing RTOs • Increasing Regulatory Certainty and Focus • Relieving Transmission Bottlenecks Through Better Operations • Pricing Transmission Services to Reflect True Costs • Increasing the Role of Voluntary Customer Load Reduction, and Targeted Energy Efficiency and Distributed Generation • Using Improved Real-Time Data and Analysis of Transmission System Conditions • Ensuring Mandatory Compliance with Reliability Rules • Relieving Transmission Bottlenecks Through Effective Investments • Implementing Regional Transmission Planning • Accelerating the Siting and Permitting of Needed Transmission Facilities • Ensuring the Timely Introduction of Advanced Technologies • Enhancing the Physical and Cyber Security of the Transmission System • DOE's Commitment and Leadership 51 Recommendations

  8. Office of Electric T&D OETD RD&D Analysis Electric Power Systems Operations and Analysis Electric Systems RD&D • Transmission Reliability • Electric Distribution Transformation • Electricity Storage • Superconductivity • Electricity Policy Modeling and Analysis • Provide Check/Balance to the FERC • Electric Markets Technical Assistance • Electricity Exports • Including Presidential Permits • Power Marketing Administration Liaison

  9. OETD Funding Profile ($000) “Congressionally Directed” (earmarks) FY02 – 25,209 FY03 – 30,437 FY04 – 25,750 * Includes 4,905 for blackout studies

  10. “DOE, through a rulemaking, will determine how to identify and designate transmission bottlenecks that significantly impact national interests.” www.ntgs.doe.gov or www.electricity.doe.gov DOE National Transmission Grid Study Language on Bottlenecks

  11. Delayed by funding and blackout investigation Will identify National Interest Trans. Bottlenecks regardless of energy bill fate Preliminary scoping work complete Technical conference held July 15, 2004 Federal Register Notice seeks public comment on process. Comments due Sept. 20 DOE presently considering balance between using existing regional bottleneck data vs. DOE identification using raw data Path forward influenced by public comments! www.electricity.doe.gov/bottlenecks DOE Bottleneck Work – Next Steps

  12. U.S. Transmission Capacity:Present Status, Future Prospects Study Prepared by Eric Hirst Consultant in Electric-Industry Restructuring Bellingham, WA Eric@Ehirst.com www.Ehirst.com funded by U.S. Dept of Energy & Edison Electric Institute also at www.electricity.doe.gov

  13. NPCC ISO New England National Grid NY ISO MAAC PJM SERC Two reports FRCC – nothing available Midwest: ECAR, MAIN, MAPP Midwest ISO ATC MAPP MN electric utilities SPP plan ERCOT plan WECC SSG-WI study AZ assessment California ISO Other studies BPA projects Eric Hirst Report: Reviewed 20 Transmission Plans

  14. Quality and relevance of plans quite variable Transmission planning and expansion varies greatly Best plans: ISO New England, National Grid, Midwest ISO, American Transmission Company, ERCOT, SSG-WI Eric Hirst Report: Transmission Plans Review

  15. “Administration fully supports regional coordination and planning through…voluntary RTOs.” --- Statement of Admin. Policy, Sept. 10, 2003 Commend ISO-NE on development and release of RTEP04 Need for greater grid investment to ensure reliability and economic benefit RTEP04 shows the need for greater investment Continue pressure to make it happen Natural gas RTEP04 points out major risk from gas dependence Continue your work on sorting out planning connections on gas/electricity Comments on RTEP04 Draft Report

  16. Don’t forget demand-side: “Greater energy efficiency and conservation are vital near-term and long-term mechanisms for moderating price levels and reducing volatility.” --- Nat’l Petroleum Council Natural Gas Rpt Non-transmission alternatives Are they adequately treated in RTEP04? Inclusion noted in SW CT RFP Should they be treated equally? Socialize like transmission? Governance role of new “Sector Six” good Overall: RTEP04 highlights important issues for New England Comments on RTEP04 Draft Report

  17. Back-up Slides

  18. Fix direct causes of blackout Conduct readiness audits elsewhere Tighten and restate existing standards Develop new standards on key subjects Improve government oversight, prepare for implementation of U.S. legislation Improve emergency preparedness training Improve real-time tools for operators Blackout Report: Several Areas of Parallel Action

  19. OETD’s Portfolio of RD&D HTS tape to HTS cable Novel storage concept Advanced Conductors Diamond Sensor Ultra capacitors ETO DC to AC inverters Superconducting Substation 2kWh Superconductor Flywheel Demonstrator Supervar System Interconnection Device

  20. DOE Eastern Interconnection Phasor Project Phase I • 30 Instruments, most are already installed but not connected • Work out communications issues • Transfer software tools to users • Establish relationships Phase III • More than 350 Instruments • Projected benefits from previous slide realized • Vendors participating at all levels • Inexpensive instruments and communications available Phase II • ~75 Instruments • Immediate benefits from previous slide realized • All major corridors covered • Data available to research community to begin work on projected benefits

  21. Scoping and planning studies to support DOE identification of national-interest transmission bottlenecks DOE nat’l lab/expert group (CERTS) has prepared 4 reports (listed below): Survey of current transmission bottlenecks, as reported by ISOs – J. Dyer, Electric Power Group Review of commercially available transmission bottleneck analysis techniques/models – P. Sigari, KEMA Assessment of tools under development by national labs that might be available to support bottleneck assessment – S. Thomas, et. al, Sandia Nat’l Lab Review of recent reports of congestion costs – B. Lesieutre/J. Eto, Lawrence Berkeley Nat’l Lab Preliminary DOE Work on Transmission Bottlenecks
