load forecasting
SERC said all subregions should have enough resources to handle normal summer conditions, but the Central subregion may see energy shortfalls during periods of extreme heat.
FERC will hold a two-day technical conference June 4-5, where it will look at resource adequacy issues in the ISO/RTO markets, with most of the focus on those with capacity markets.
Experts in the data center field discussed the challenges of meeting accelerating computational load during the PJM Annual Meeting, held in the core of Northern Virginia’s Data Center Alley.
The preliminary results of PJM’s look ahead at the capacity available for this summer and the expected peak loads suggest that about 5.4 GW of demand response could be needed to maintain the 3.5-GW real-time primary reserve requirement.
IESO is changing how it projects renewable generation output and its accounting for imports and planned loads in the forecasts it uses to manage generator and transmission outages.
The Operating Committee endorsed a pair of manual revisions and heard an update on the implementation of PJM’s regulation market redesign.
PJM gave more detail on its plan to scale back a 30% adder it added on the synchronized and primary reserve requirement in May 2023.
NYISO presented its assumptions for the economic and electrification trends that would drive load growth through the 2040s based on Moody’s Analytics data, which show statewide population to “significantly” decline.
PJM credited emergency procedures with improving generator performance during a pair of winter storms in January, including a new all-time winter peak of 145,060 MW.
PJM set a record winter peak load Jan. 22, surpassing its previous seasonal peak set in February 2015. PJM officials said actions the RTO and its members took ahead of the cold snap got the system through strained conditions.
