  1. WEC Workshop on the Performance of Generating Plant18 March 2009, Cairo, Egypt An Improved Framework for Measuring Plant PerformanceScott Stallard

  2. The Situation The reality is that mixed regulatory, ownership and market perspectives corresponds to mixed goals, objectives, and priorities for generation entities. Deregulation, re-regulation, privatization, markets …. Evolving unprecedented environmental standards … Varying business models, varying risk profiles, and different “obligations to serve” all further complicate the issue. What are the key metrics? Technical? Commercial? Environmental? Or even Sustainability?

  3. The Role of Data Collection and Analysis All Metrics play a key role in measuring and improving plant performance! Technical, Commercial, Environmental, Sustainability … In the 2004-2007, significant changes to the committee’s charter or terms of reference were made to address these needs Data analysis technique and processes have been developed to better understand how to compare performance of generators across different markets, environmental drivers, etc. One cannot evaluate performance via benchmarking or other techniques without good data.

  4. Looking Toward the Future As the global power market continue to “evolve” worldwide, it is clear that performance is becoming increasingly important. Power markets and regulated frameworks co-exist A lack of standards or practices for measuring performance. Large variations in structure and focus exist The definition or scope of performance also varies widely

  5. Looking Toward the Future New drivers geared toward profitability, cost control, environmental stewardship and market economics Further, in the future, shifts in generation mix will impact picture of reliability and performance as different technologies are introduced for either environmental control or for power generation. Issue of performance becomes increasingly complex, the ability to “measure” and analyze performance is even more challenging!

  6. Examples of Performance Metrics

  7. Traditional Benchmarking Focus

  8. Reality Check: Many are Interdependent

  9. Finding the Common Denominator, $

  10. An Improved Framework for Measuring Plant Performance Availability UCLF, UCF, … Need for Generation EFORD

  11. An Improved Framework for Measuring Plant Performance Availability Costs Need for Generation EFORD “Value” of Generation Commercial Availability (CA) Many Definitions of CA Exist … MARKET

  12. An Improved Framework for Measuring Plant Performance Availability Costs Environment Need for Generation Emissions EFORD Efficiency “Value” of Generation Commercial Availability (CA) Commercial Availability Revised CA can “contain” Environmental Cost Equivalent MARKET

  13. PGP Technical and Commercial Availability Calculator Provides Means to “Translate” Technical Performance Metrics into Commercial Metrics

  14. PGP Technical and Commercial Availability Calculator

  15. Model Provide Means for Comparison

  16. RECAP: Improved Framework for Measuring Plant Performance New drivers geared toward profitability, cost control, environmental stewardship and market economics  Expand Metrics to Consider Commercial + Environmental Issues Further, in the future, shifts in generation mix will impact picture of reliability and performance as different technologies are introduced for either environmental control or for power generation  Consider Roles of Plant in Generation Mix Issue of performance becomes increasingly complex, the ability to “measure” and analyze performance is even more challenging!  Leverage Models to Evaluate Performance

  17. RECAP: Improved Framework for Measuring Plant Performance Start with “traditional” data analysis and metrics (UCF, UCLF, efficiency) Add commercial metrics Consider environmental factors within economic context Availability Costs Environment

  18. WEC WG 1 Charter To educate and inform Document technical, commercial, and other future metrics Provides framework to see differences between regulated and de-regulated markets and/or load demand Maintain relevance to improving global generation performance Maintain and enhance model capabilities to “translate” technical to commercial indicators for specific situations Mixed regulatory, ownership and market perspectives corresponds to mixed goals, objectives, and priorities for generation entities. Allows one to “model” technical benchmarks within context of their commercial framework to evaluate possible target commercial availability metrics Work with other organizations for establishing performance measures and standards Lay groundwork for advances in data collection, workshops, and benchmarking processes in next triennial period
