Demand Response (DR)
• Voluntary • Participants receive an incentive for
turning off equipment • Designed to avoid or delay the need
to build new supply-side peaking resources
• Capacity resource• Not to save energy; load is typically
shifted

2019 IRP Analysis observations
• System load needs to grow to fully utilize390 MW.
• Expanding DR in the near term would need to focus on different hours.
• This would add customers and cost, but not capacity.

2019 IRP proposal
• Our goal: Propose a reasonable amount of incremental DR based on achievability, need and operability
Comfortable could be implemented from a program perspective
Let Aurora select DR up to that amount
• Modeling as resource
• Example – 5 MW per year up to ~ 50 incremental DR (on top of 390 MW we currently have)

What is EIM?
• An intra-hour centralized energy market used to economically and securely dispatch participating resources to balance supply and load across the market’s footprint (EIM Area) every five minutes.
![Page 48: 2019 IRP Advisory Council Meeting January 10, 2019 · 3. Determine RegUp/RegDn for solar to comply with NERC reliability standard 4.

What is EIM?
• EIM’s priority is to serve load and imbalance at the lowest possible cost (Economic Dispatch).
• Ensure generation, and transmission limitations are respected (Security Constrained).
• Use Bid Ranges (INC/DEC) from voluntarily offered participating resources to determine the most economical and reliable/secure generation to meet load and interchange demands.

What EIM is not
• Capacity and Ancillary Services market (regulation, spin, non-spin, flexible ramping)
• A replacement for current bilateral business and long-term planning obligations of an Entity
• Day-ahead energy market• Hour-ahead energy market• Anything other than an intra-hour real time energy market

What Changes in Resource Planning and Utilization?
Integrated Resource Planning

Monthly Balancing
Day-ahead Balancing
Hour-ahead Balancing
Real Time(5-15 minute increments)
• Key change is to real-time, intra-hour scheduling and dispatches

EIM Principle – No Leaning• Entities must pass resource sufficiency tests each hour.• The tests address real time leaning prior to the start of each hour
to ensure the EIM entity is not leaning on the market for capacity, flexibility, or transmission.
• Balancing Test• Bid Capacity Test• Flexible Ramping Sufficiency Test• Feasibility Test (also performed in Day-ahead Market)
• Passing the tests ensures the EIM entity is able to meet its reliability obligation as a stand-alone entity without market support.

EIM Principle – No Leaning
• Balancing Test: Ensures each EIM Entity is balanced with resources to meet the forecasted load demand of its area before each hour.
• Bid Capacity Test: Ensures sufficient EIM Participating Resource capacity bid range through incremental or decremental energy bids above or below the Base Schedules to meet the imbalance.

Determine RegUp/RegDn sharing or allocation factors](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f12e99b947f377e967834a0/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
EIM Principle – No Leaning
• Flexible Ramping Sufficiency Test: Ensures that each balancing area has enough ramping resources across each hour to meet expected upward and downward ramping needs (must cover Expected Load + “uncertainty”)– “Uncertainty” is an estimate of unforeseen variations in VERs and Load.
• Feasibility Test: Information test to notify EIM Entity if base schedules submitted are transmission feasible according to the market model.

EIM and IRP
• EIM values flexibility in real time. Fast-moving available resources are important.
• Entities must ensure flexibility exists on their own systems to meet their own needs to be operating in the energy imbalance market.
• Long-term planning ensures we are sufficient to meet Idaho Power’s obligation for reliable service (capacity, reserves, flexibility).
• EIM is not a replacement for long- and short-term planning.

NERC BAL-001-2Real Power Balancing Control Performance
• NERC standard:– Each Balancing Authority shall operate such that its clock-minute average of
reporting Area Control Error (ACE) does not exceed its clock-minute Balancing Authority ACE Limit (BAAL) for more than 30 consecutive clock minutes.
– ACE cannot exceed BAAL for more than 30 consecutive minutes.– ACE is managed through system flexibility.

Aurora Batteries
• Two types of batteries are included in the Aurora New Resources table.– 4 hour Lithium Ion stand-alone battery – grid charged
• 5 MW– 4 hour Lithium Ion paired with 40 MW solar facility – solar charged
• 10 MW, 20 MW, 30 MW
• Battery Characteristics– 85% efficiency rating– Discharge target period – Demand net must-run resources
• Example must-run resources: Wind, Solar, PURPA– Able to provide regulation services

2019 Integrated Resource Plan
Note: Costs are nominal assuming 2023 on-line date. Note nuclear resource assumed not available prior to 2026.
*Includes engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), and other owner's costs; **500 MW Apr–Sep, 200 MW Oct–Mar;***Capacity factors are estimated for resources whose dispatch is affected by variable operating costs or wholesale market purchase costs.****LCOE provides approximate comparison of resource economics when considering resources providing similar grid service. Comparison of LCOE across technologies is often problematic and can be misleading in assessing economic competitiveness. LCOE is not an input to Aurora modeling performed for the IRP. Wind/solar integration costs are included in provided LCOE, but are not included in Aurora modeling; Aurora modeling imposes regulating reserves necessary to integrate wind/solar. LCOE for CO2 emitting resources does not include carbon costs; carbon cost scenarios are included in Aurora modeling.
