Power System Transformation OPSI Annual Meeting Session 4: Future Generation Mix in PJM Arshad Mansoor Senior Vice President October 7, 2013
Unprecedented Pace and Scale of Change Driven by Technology, Policy, and Consumer Expectation • Shale gas • Variable generation (wind and solar) • Local generation • Demand for electricity • Cyber & Physical security • Energy and environment policy
Adapting to ChangePower System Transformation A Highly Interconnected Power System that Optimizes Energy Resources A Resilient, Flexible, and Connected System
The Imperative for Transformation: Grid Reliability & Energy Affordability • The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (Entsoe)October 04, 2013 • Major Capacity outage during times of high variable generation would pose “a severe risk for the system to collapse.” • The reduction in fault levels weakens the overall strength of the network resulting in quality of supply issues such as large voltage steps, harmonics and flicker • Energy Affordability • German Residential Electricity Price: 40c/kWh and rising • Spain: $25.5B Euro deficit since renewable subsidies were not recovered through rates because of price cap
