<strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> Self-<strong>Assessment</strong>sNew YorkExecutive SummaryThe NYISO is currently studying the integration of 8,000 megawatts (MW) of wind-generatingresources into the New York bulk electric transmission grid in the year 2018. The final report iscurrently scheduled to be presented to our Market Participants, finalized and released in thefourth quarter of <strong>2009</strong>. The energy that is projected to be generated with the addition of thesewind plants is assumed to comprise approximately 12 percent of the projected New York ControlArea energy use in 2018. For that same year, another 5.4 percent of the energy need is assumedto be provided by Energy Efficiency. Combined, wind resources and Energy Efficiency;represent approximately 16-18 percent of the total NYISO forecasted energy needs for 2018.Our preliminary analysis indicates that some of the wind energy could be constrained and notdeliverable without transmission upgrades. This results in a reduction of the wind energy tomeet the projected 2018 energy use. When combined with the assumed 5.4 percent level ofEnergy Efficiency, these resources then would likely represent approximately 15-17 percent ofthe 2018 forecasted energy need.This level of wind penetration would likely result in increased operating challenges on a day-todaybasis due to the variability of wind in real-time and transmission congestion in some areas ofthe transmission system, possibly where it is currently not encountered.The NYISO has in place five-minute nominal dispatch cycles, real-time and day-aheadforecasting, which also includes wind resources and the integration of wind into economicdispatch. The NYISO cautions that the results of this study may not apply to much higher levelsof wind plant penetration, e.g. 20 percent and 30 percent of total energy. Such higher levelswould require further study.It is important to note that this document consists of the results of an ongoing study, the finalresults of which will occur after the publication of this scenario. Therefore any preliminaryrepresentations contained herein, reflect the status of that study as of August 7, <strong>2009</strong>, and thefinal results are subject to change.IntroductionThe Reference Case used for comparison with this <strong>Scenario</strong> is the NYISO <strong>2009</strong> Long-Term<strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> report. The <strong>2009</strong> Reference Case is based upon econometric loadforecasts from the NYISO <strong>2009</strong> Load and Capacity Data Report (“Gold Book”) 71 . The <strong>Scenario</strong>Case was developed from the NYISO’s <strong>2009</strong> RNA Report 72 . The underlying data for theReference Case was initially based upon econometric load forecasts from the 2008 Load andCapacity Data Report with revisions made in August 2008 to account for changes due to theEnergy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) and to include new information developed after thepublication of the 2008 Gold Book and prior to the start of the <strong>2009</strong> RNA study.71 <strong>2009</strong> Load and Capacity Data Report,http://www.nyiso.com/public/services/planning/planning_data_reference_documents.jsp72 <strong>2009</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> Needs <strong>Assessment</strong>, Final Report January 2013.http://www.nyiso.com/public/webdocs/newsroom/press_releases/<strong>2009</strong>/RNA_<strong>2009</strong>_Final_1_13_09.pdf<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> Page 93
