Reliability Must-Run Analysis 2006 – th BTA Presentation Bob Smith Manager Transmission Planning June 6, 2006

4th BTA 2 Outline of Presentation  2006 RMR Study Process  Description of network and constraint  SIL/MLSC determination  RMR - demand, energy and duration  Economic impact of transmission constraint  Observations  Comparison of RMR Studies to FERC SIL Studies

June 6, th BTA RMR Study Process  Transmission Provider Coordination January 21, 2005 meeting to coordinate plan Decision to study 2008 and 2015  SSG-WI cases to be developed Basic Case Development  SWAT Involvement Approve study plan May 4, 2005 Update on study August 23 and October 25 Preliminary results presentation Jan 17, 2006

June 6, th BTA 4 RMR Economic Analysis  ABB GridView production-cost simulator  Entire WECC modeled  Hourly least cost dispatch with transmission constraints  Annual cost to serve area load determined  Study repeated ignoring local import limit  Difference is the RMR cost  Environmental impact determined for each generator using emission rates

June 6, th BTA 14 Phoenix RMR Observations  APS load is expected to exceed import capability for 845 hours in 2008, and 548 hours in RMR energy represents approximately 1% of the total energy.  The projected reserves in both 2008 and 2015 are greater than the 99% reliability reserve requirement of 865 MW.  Cost to run local generation outside of economic dispatch is less than $1M in both 2008 and  Expected RMR costs do not justify Construction costs to relieve RMR requirements.

June 6, th BTA 23 Expected Yuma Reserves

June 6, th BTA 24 Yuma RMR Observations  Yuma load is expected to exceed import capability for 1,703 hours in 2008, and 553 hours in  The projected reserves in both 2008 and 2015 are greater than the 99% reliability reserve requirement of 138 MW.  Cost to run local generation outside of economic dispatch is $1.3M in 2008 and less than $1M in  Addition of 100mw of generation in Yuma in 2008 and a new 500kV line from the PV area to North Gila and a 230kV line from North Gila into the Yuma load area effectively manage RMR conditions.

June 6, th BTA 25 Overall RMR Observations  Benefits of local generation Increase reliability  Local voltage support  Contingency response  Operating flexibility Reduced losses Lower transmission investment
