Enabling integration of more renewable energy into the electric grid
Utilities and ISOs face tight deadlines to integrate more renewable energy into the grid. Challenges include the unpredictable intermittency of renewable power and balancing conventional and renewable energy sources. The ability to view and act on the portfolio of generation resources in the context of demand is essential for stable and predictable operation of the electric grid.
Features:
- Situational awareness for better wind & energy production forecasts
- Geospatial visualization of confidence levels for production forecasts
- Alerts that direct the operator to generation ramp events in real-time
- Generation portfolio dashboards and remedial action scripts that guide alignment of renewable generation capacity with forecasted demand
- Situational views of virtual and physical generation capacity, in the context of existing fuel supply
- An inventory view of the complete generation stack to enable integration of demand response, DERs and storage options
- Wind turbine or solar panel-level detail to support capacity improvement options at unit commitment level
Benefits:
- Increased ability to manage integration of intermittent renewable energy
- Improved predictability of wind and solar energy production and integration into the grid
- More optimal utilization of transmission assets under current infrastructure conditions through reduced congestion and improved dynamic rating.
- Greater capability to ensure stable and predictable operation of the grid in the context of increased renewable energy integration
- Improved reliability, stability and capacity of renewable generation resources
- Increased ability to manage market uncertainty and regulatory oversight of intermittent renewable production
- Improved economics through predictable generation forecasts
