WECC Wind Development Plan

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the WECC Wind Development Plan led by James H. Caldwell Jr. in September 2002. It outlines the expected wind energy development across various states from 2002 to 2013, with a total potential of 20,000 MW, remarking that this is less than 10% of the available economic resource potential. It discusses the alignment with state and federal policies, issues related to power flow and stability analysis, and the definitions of wind turbines and farms. The plan also emphasizes interaction with transmission experts to enhance project feasibility and efficiency.

  3. WECC Wind Development Plan • Total 20K MW development less than 10% of economic resource potential • All projects economic with today’s technology and $4 gas • Rate of development consistent with state/federal policy (principally Renewable Portfolio Standard) • No major markets saturated at this development level

  4. WECC Wind Development PlanTo Do • Iterate with transmission gurus • Iterate with other generation scenarios • Intra-state breakdowns where necessary • Define hourly by month production profiles

  5. WECC Wind Development PlanIssues • Study scope – power flow plus stability analysis? • What is a wind turbine ? (pure induction vs. doubly fed vs. full VSC) • What is a wind farm ? (sq. root of sum of squares; int & ext cap banks; SVCs; FACTS whizz bangs) • Treatment of existing physical transmission rights • Redispatch protocols – hydro and thermal • WECC Compliant RAS • Optimization of losses given low wind capacity factor • Optimization of congestion rents – market power mitigation • Queue protocols • FERC Interconnection NOPR : “Aggregate of generation delivered to aggregate of load assuming redispatch.”
