Photovoltaic Resource
Energy Management System (EMS)
Applications like State Estimation, Power Flow, Contingency Analysis
will have no change or minimal change. Currently identified EMS
applications that need to be modified or new are:
– MODIFICATION: Ancillary Service Capacity Monitor
• There may be a need to modify this application to take into account
intermittent nature of solar due to cloud cover etc. Note: currently
Wind Resources have resorted to not carrying Ancillary Service
Responsibilities.
– MODIFICATION: Online Transient/Voltage Stability Analysis
• There may be a need to change this application if current
capabilities cannot model Photovoltaic Resource correctly

Photovoltaic Resource
Energy Management System (EMS)
– NEW: Solar potential forecasting application
• Short Term : 5 minute granularity for a rolling window looking out for
the next 2 hours
• Mid Term : 1 hour granularity for a rolling window looking out for the
next 2-7 days.
• Input to Solar potential forecasting application (every 30 seconds
via telemetry or other process?):
– Cloud cover monitor
– Solar farm latitude, longitude, alignment of solar panels, and
placement angle off horizontal
– Air temperature, Back of panel temperature
– Wind speed, Wind direction
– Global horizontal Irradiance
– For concentrated PV installations, in addition to the above,
direct normal Irradiance shall be telemetered

Photovoltaic Resource
Market Management System (MMS)
The products that are available are Energy (MWHr) and Ancillary
Service Capacity (MW).
• Energy (MWHr) is procured in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) in
terms of MW on a hourly granularity
• Energy (MWHr) is procured in the Real-Time Maket (SCED) in terms
of MW every 5 minutes and is settled on a 15-minute basis
• Ancilary Service Capacity (Regulation Up, Regulation Down,
Responsive Reserve, Non-Spin) is procured in terms of MW on a
hourly granularity in the Day-Ahead Market, Supplementary
Ancillary Service Market in the adjustment period and Resources
can assume AS responsibility via bilateral trades
5
Photovoltaic Resource
Market Management System (MMS)
As far as the Day-Ahead Market and Real-Time Markets, our
current understanding is that Photovoltaic Resources will not
require any modifications to the Market Systems.
Expectations is that Photovoltaic Resources will be very similar to
Wind Resources as far as the Market Systems (including
Reliability Unit Commitment) are concerned.

Energy Storage Resource
Salient Features of a Energy Storage resource
• Do not generate electrical energy like power plants (burning
fuel or converting external energy source like wind)
– Electrical energy is produced by time-shifting i.e. electrical
energy withdrawn from the grid over a particular time period and
stored (in some form) and subsequently injected back into the
grid at another later period of time
• Electrical energy consumed is not like loads
– Electrical energy not used for producing products or heating or
cooling or lighting. Electrical energy is stored for later release
back into the grid.
• Bi-directional, i.e. they can produce or consume electrical
energy
• Electrical energy can be stored for some period of time
7
Energy Storage Resource
Salient Features of a Energy Storage resource (continued)
• Typically, are fast in responding to control signals
– Discharge and charging rates are high.
• Typically, Reactive capability in all four quadrants

Energy Storage Resource
CIM Model (Network Model Management System-NMMS)
– Detailed discussions with Resource Entities, QSEs are required
to get a common understanding of the modeling requirements
– Modeling of Storage Resources can also include aggregation of
small storage resources (similar to Aggregated Load Resources)

Applications like State Estimation, Power Flow, Contingency Analysis
will have no change or minimal change. Currently identified EMS
applications that need to be modified or new are:
– MODIFICATION: Ancillary Service Capacity Monitor
• There may be a need to modify this application to take into account
the energy storage level.
– MODIFICATION: Online Transient/Voltage Stability Analysis
– There may be a need to change this application if current

15
Energy Storage Resource
Market Management System (MMS)
Due to the limited energy available from Energy Storage
Resources, care will have to be taken as to which products are
most suitable. There are compliance penalties if Resources do not
perform to their obligations
Currently there is a pilot project in the works “ Fast Responding
Regulation Service” to evaluate the performance of Resources
capable of extremely fast regulation service. Storage Resources
like Batteries can participate.
Introduction of any new technology neutral product will need to be
vetted through the stakeholder process
