Regional <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> Self-<strong>Assessment</strong>sDataGroupingHydroGenerationRenewableGenerationDSM/Energy EfficiencyKey AssumptionsThe following sources of hydro data are used for the study:o NW federal, Mid-C Nonfederal, and PacifiCorp: 2002 historicalhourly hydro generation that is reasonably reflective of latestBiological Opinion.o Other NW nonfederal: The hourly data for these units werecalculated using a Proportional Load Following algorithm.o California: The California hydro data is from the PI dataset whichwas aggregated to the river system and then disaggregatedproportionally to the Pmax values of the units on that riversystem. The California hydro data is derived from historical 2003data.o WAPA: 2002 historical hourly hydro generation that is derivedfrom the SCADA dataset.o Canada: BC Hydro provided monthly hydro for adverse, averageand above average hydro conditions grouped by their coastal,Peace River and Columbia River facilities. Data is shaped usingyear 2002 actual loads and hourly flows in and out of BC Hydroterritory (BCH-US and BCH-Alberta paths), combined withtreating the thermal generation as a block resource. Peak shavingalgorithm is utilized for Piece River facility and the ProportionalLoad Following algorithm is used for the Costal and ColumbiaRiver facilities.Hourly wind shapes used to model all wind generating resources aresupplied by National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). Exception: CAISOprovided wind shapes for its areas based on actual data. Wind is treatedas a fixed input to the model.Geothermal plants are modeled as base load plants as confirmed by Cleanand Diversified Energy Initiatives Geothermal Task Force. Data to modelspecific plants in CA is provided by CAISO.The incremental renewable resources from previous studies werereplaced by data provided by the Studies Work Group.Solar production profiles are provided by NREL.Existing and some forecasted DSM and Energy Efficiency programs areembedded in the load forecast. These amounts are not explicitly collectedby WECC.The load data for California includes adjustments for anticipatedefficiency programs.Page 162<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>
