Impact of Resource Mix Change Across North America
– The growing level of renewables increases net load variability, uncertainty, and ramping, requiring more flexibility from the system
– The increase in renewables pushes down minimum net load levels, which puts pressure on generators to operate at lower levels or go offline

Changes in Energy Market Prices
– Energy prices fluctuate between greater price ranges as supply mix evolves• Variability of prices
increase• Net load volatility
increases: higher prices during net load peak, lower prices or negative during periods of high renewables generation
• Flexible resources can effectively respond to the signals
• Energy price fluctuations would likely be higher taking into account transmission constraints

An example of MISO’s ramp productNet Load
Procurement of ramp-up at 8:10… Time
…Ramp Up: Ensures ability to meet expected net load (plus an unexpectedramp uncertainty margin) at 8:20(No ramp-down is needed in this interval)
Forecasted Net Load
Net Load Uncertainty
Ramping capability procured in the current interval ensures the ability to meet expected plus unexpected ramping needs in future intervals. MISO and CAISO have both introduced a ramp product. SPP is in the process of proposing one.
• Ramp up: Holds back sufficient “headroom” to meet load in upcoming intervals & avoid scarcity events
• Ramp down: Mitigates the potential for minimum generation events (zero quantity procured in this example)
Ramp Up and Down Needs Increases with Renewables

MISO has implemented several flexibility enhancementsto help absorb wind intermittency, including:
MISO Ancillary Service Products
Sources: MISO (2014), “Level 200, Energy and Operating Reserve Markets”, April 2014.MISO (2016), “ Ramp Capability Product Development”, June 2016.MISO (2017), “ Improved Contingency Reserve Demand Curve that reflects VOLL”, June 2017.MISO (2017), “Short-Term Capacity Pricing and Reliability Requirements, June 2017.
Ramp Capacity Products (Implemented in 2016)

10 Minute Up or Down Ramping Capability
30 Minute Response Time
New Ancillary Services for
Flexibility
Original Ancillary Services
MISO Ancillary Service Products– 2010: Day-ahead headroom constraints• Added headroom constraints in unit commitment
and dispatch software to reserve ramp capacity
• As an out-of-market constraint, it introduced problems including make-whole payments, price suppression, and lack of transparency
– 2016: Up and down ramp products• The development of up and down ramp capacity
products ensures that each 5-minute interval meets energy requirement, plus holds back sufficient ramp capability for the subsequent 10 minutes
• The maximum price (i.e., penalty factor for falling short of ramping capability) is $5/MWh
– Current efforts:• Improve the shortage pricing by revising the
operating reserve demand curve
• Expand ancillary services with an additional 30-minute reserve product

Simulations of storage operations mirror the changes in system needs for ramping and flexibility
– Storage’s operations can shift considerably based on net load shapes, for example, in a solar-heavy region:• Storage shifts its charging from
night to mid-day• Storage shifts discharging from
late afternoon to evening peaks
– As renewable deployment increases, storage tends to operate at higher charging and generating capabilities

Key Storage Value Drivers
We quantify four key value drivers:– Production Cost Savings: Changes in cost of providing energy and ancillary services– Avoided Capacity Investments: Reduction in generation capacity needed to meet peak load– Deferred T&D Investment: Value of deploying storage to defer upcoming T&D investments– Avoided Distribution Outages: Reductions in load shedding by locating storage on certain
distribution feeders
Our approach accounts for likely limitations in the ability to “stack” these values, including:– Location limitations: Storage can be deployed at certain distribution grid locations either to
defer T&D investment or avoid distribution outages, but may not capture both simultaneously– Operational constraints: Discharging storage to provide one service (e.g. to defer T&D
investment) can limit its ability to provide other services
We use Brattle’s bSTORE model to evaluate the key drivers of storage value as increasing amounts of renewable energy is added.

We Estimated 1,000 MW Nevada Storage Potential (50,000 MW US-Wide!)
Note: All values are in nominal dollars
In 2020, storage benefits are less than costs if more than 200 MW deployed. In 2030, benefits exceed costs beyond 1,000 MW.
