The polynomial shown in Equation 3 is the curve fit shown as the smoothed line in Figure 3-11.<br />

Equation 3 - Sample calculation of hour-head wind standard deviation<br />

With this equation, the expected standard deviation for the forecast error is calculated based on<br />

the previous hour’s production (persistence forecast). This component helps <strong>to</strong> insure the system<br />

is positioned with enough maneuverability <strong>to</strong> cover the probable forecast error and divided as 1<br />

sigma assigned <strong>to</strong> spinning reserves and 2 sigma assigned <strong>to</strong> non-spin/supplemental reserves.<br />

Equation 4 shows the function for the spinning reserves. The equation for nonspinning/supplemental<br />

reserves is the same except that 2 * sigma is used.<br />

Equation 4 - Calculation of spinning reserves requirement<br />

To calculate the <strong>to</strong>tal reserve requirement, each of these three components, regulation, spin and<br />

non-spin, are added arithmetically.<br />

Results<br />

The method described above was applied <strong>to</strong> each of the scenarios defined for this study. The<br />

details of those scenarios are documented in chapter 4, but Table 3-4 shows a summary of the<br />

wind variability allocations <strong>to</strong> regions by scenario for reference.<br />

Table 3-4<br />

Balancing responsibility by scenario<br />

Scenario Description<br />

1 SPP manages intra-hour variability for all wind<br />

2<br />

3 & 4<br />

Each region manages intra-hour variability for the wind assigned <strong>to</strong> their<br />

region<br />

All regions are combined in<strong>to</strong> a single super-region and intra-hour<br />

variability is managed jointly<br />
