<strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> Self-<strong>Assessment</strong>sThe study results were obtained by use of PTI's MUST and PSS/E programs. The base case,linear runs, and AC verification were performed by TVA and the report was assembled byAssociated Electric Cooperative, Inc.DemandThere were no differences between the Reference Case and <strong>Scenario</strong> Case relative to weather,economic assumptions, growth rate or load variability. Additionally there were no differences incontrollable demand response reducing peak demand - i.e. interruptible demand; direct controlload management; critical peak pricing with control; load as a capacity resource, etc.GenerationThe amount of capacity resources expected to be in-service by 2019 in the Reference Case is232,027. The <strong>Scenario</strong> Case results in incremental 13,112 MW of installed resources (anincrement of approximately 6 percent) in accordance with Table 1 by fuel type. All incrementalresources are conventional resources.Table SERC-1: SERC Region Generation by 2019 by Fuel Type MWResourceTypeReference Case <strong>Scenario</strong> Case DifferenceNuclear 38,041 50,500 +12,459Fossil 169,158 169,436 +278All others 24,829 25,204 +375Total 232,028 245,140 +13,112The assumptions pertaining to when resources are added over the entire ten-year time frame arenot developed, as this analysis is a single year analysis for 2019. Generation added for the 2019study was distributed among four of the five SERC subregions as follows:Table SERC-2: SERC Region 2019 Additional Generation by Subregion by FuelType MWResource Type Central Delta Gateway VACAR TotalNuclear 2,426 3,288 1,706 5,039 12,459Fossil 278 0 0 0 278All others 375 0 0 0 375Total 3,079 3,288 1,706 5,039 13,112There are no differences in variable (i.e. wind, solar, etc.) resources between the Reference Caseand the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case; however much of the new generation is conventional carbon neutraltechnology.There are no differences in Biomass (wood, wood waste, municipal solid waste, landfill gas, andethanol) generation projects between the Reference Case and the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case.Page 136<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>
