  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of

an extreme natural disaster on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System (BES) in the Western Interconnection (WI) in a Year 10 future.

  • The WI experiences extreme natural disasters such as yearly

wild fires and occasionally extreme earthquakes.

  • This assessment investigates a wild fire in western

California that is made more extreme due to high winds.

  • Identify possible resilience challenges of the WI
  • Intended to help transmission providers consider them in

future planning studies.

Introduction

slide-3
SLIDE 3
  • The outages created for the scenario include

two main events based on the Tucker fire in California that began on July 2019.

  • Outage Event 1: Simultaneous outage of the Malin
  • Round Mt. 500-kV lines and the Malin -Hilltop

230-kV line

  • Outage Event 2: Following system adjustment, the
  • utage of the Captain Jack -Olinda 500-kV line.
  • The outages was assumed to last for seven days.

Assessment Approach

slide-4
SLIDE 4
  • Reliability risks to the BES in WI in Year 10

future that were analyzed using two different modeling tools :

  • Resource Adequacy
  • PCM model using ABB’s GridView software to analysis
  • Unserved energy, reserve margin, utilization on major

transmission paths, spillage of renewable resources, load-generation balance & inter region transfer.

  • System Stability
  • PF model using GE’s PSLF software to analysis -

transient and voltage stability.

What was studied

slide-5
SLIDE 5
  • The outages was assumed to last for seven days

starting on Aug 7th 2028 Hour 20 when flows on COI and PDCI were near their maximums in WECC 2028 ADS PCM Phase 1 V2.2 (ADS PCM Case).

  • The generation dispatch and load from the above hour

were extracted from the ADS PCM Case and used to change the WECC 2028 Heavy Summer 1 base case to create a power flow (PF) case for the assessment.

  • One PCM case was modeled with both the outage

events lasting seven days.

  • PF case was modeled to first analyze the outage Event

1, then Event 2.

Modeling Approach

  • Unserved energy and Reserve Margins: There was no unserved energy

and enough reserve margin for the system to ride the outage for the

  • utage period.

Inter-Reginal Flows – ADS PCM Case Inter-Reginal Flows – COI Outage

  • During the COI Outage:
  • There are overall reduced imports into California. region by 25%.
  • There is 85% reduction in net import to Northwest region.

  • In both cases, the internal generation available to serve California is not sufficient to meet load, thus leading to required imports.
  • With the additional imports, California would be able to avoid unserved energy during the modeled extreme natural disaster.

Production Cost Model Results

Under COI Outage: Transmission constraints prevent full utilization of renewables. But California can import sufficient energy to avoid unserved energy.

The following metrics were used for this assessment to identify transmission Paths that are “highly utilized” for the duration of outage in the period 08/07/2028 Hr. 20 – 08/14/2028 Hr. 24:

  • U75 designates Paths that are utilized at 75% or more of their rated

capacities for 50% or more of the hours in the outage duration;

  • U90 designates Paths that are utilized at 90% or more of their rated

capacities for 20% or more of the hours in the outage duration; and

  • U99 designates Paths that are utilized at 99% or more of their rated

capacities for 5% or more of the hours in the outage duration. Any Path that meets one or more of these criteria is identified as “highly utilized.”

Outage Event 1

  • The post-transient study did not result in thermal
  • verloads reaching 125% or more, a cascading test

was not needed.

  • The post-transient study did result in low voltages
  • ccurring on the 115-kV and 69-kV system in

southern Oregon and two thermal overloads on the 500-kV system.

  • The outage is an Extreme Event no NERC or WECC

system performance criteria were violated. A reactive margin study was not performed in this assessment.

Under COI outage:

  • The WI was found to be overall resilient to an extreme

event during the COI outage.

  • There are adequate resources and no unserved energy.
  • There was higher utilization of some of the major paths

but this did not limit the ability of the BES to deliver power to serve load.

  • During COI outage, the current transmission system is not

able to fully utilize and transfer renewable resources through inter regional transfers.

  • No cascading outages were observed. Overloads and

voltage violations were seen but were not considered to be

  • f a concern because of the extreme nature of the event

Observations and Conclusions

  • Study additional scenarios of contingencies

caused by extreme natural disasters to evaluate the stability and adequacy of the interconnection affecting different parts of the Western Interconnection.
