SLIDE 5 Problem: How to identify emission potential?
Locational Marginal Price as Proxy for Generator Type
LMP at time ti
Hydro & Nuclear Coal Natural Gas Oil Price ($/MWh)
SLIDE 6 LMPs based on marginal cost of supplying the next increment of electric demand at a specific location LMP Accounts for:
generation marginal cost (fuel cost) physical aspects of transmission system (constraint in transmission lines) Cost of marginal power losses
Locational Marginal Prices (LMP)
SLIDE 7
Methodology
Use LMP to point to the marginal fuel type Calculate emissions associated with that fuel type for a specific area (or specific generator)
SLIDE 8 Environmental Optimization
Linking Consumption to Emissions
- 1. Source Identification
- Dispatch adjusted every 5 minutes within MISO
- 2. Emission Quantification
- Function of generator type
SLIDE 9 Locational Marginal Prices
LMPs available from MISO
(Midwest Independent System Operator)
LMPs for select Commercial Pricing Nodes (CPNs) available every 5 minutes
SLIDE 10
Locational Marginal Prices…spatial variation
LMP LMP = f = f (space,time) (space,time)
SLIDE 11
Locational Marginal Prices….temporal variation
SLIDE 12 Emission Rates
LMP Marginal Generator Type Air Emissions Measured Air Emissions Data from EPA’s eGRID
(Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database) Data on thousands of power plants in the US
Sort by EGCL code (Electric Generating Company, Location-Based)
i.e., all of DTE-operated plants in SE Michigan WE WANT THIS TO BE DEFINED ON THE FINEST GRID POSSIBLE….compare to an approach based on national averages of emissions/KWh
SLIDE 13 Emission Rates
Calculate average emission rate for entire area for each fuel type Example, Detroit Edison: (2008 data) LMP Marginal Generator Type Air Emissions
Air Emissions in pounds pollutant per MWhr generated (lb/MWh) Pollutant Nuclear Coal Natural Gas Distilled Fuel Oil SO2 10.54 1.65 2.3445 NOX 3.05 1.57 21.73 CO2 equiv 2071 2292 1862 Hg 5.26E-05 3.62E-06 5.81E-06 Pb 1.09E-07 3.10E-05 1.66E-06 3.65E-05
