1 Weather Scenarios Tailoring Weather Scenarios to Suit Your Needs

2 Tailoring Weather Scenarios 1. Need to ensure we have the right weather for the analysis 2. Need to maintain a level of consistency Amongst forecasts Amongst zones 3. Effort to communicate weather concepts in a clear way

3 Analytical Requirements Outage scheduling Capacity planning Generation mix Communications Transmission planning Regulatory requirements Business planning and finance Conservation analysis Deterministic and probabilistic analysis One approach cannot meet all these needs

4 System Determines Needs Large diverse area 2 time zones & 10 transmission zones Internal transmission constraints 20,000 km of high voltage transmission Demand Dual peaking Minimums & Peaks Generation Baseload and intermittent Interconnections and inter-regional issues

5 Diversity and Coincidence Ontario is a large geographic area System diversity System broken into 10 transmission zones Diverse weather conditions Diverse weather responses Heating load Cooling load Diverse economy Primary industries Energy intensive industries Financial and services sector

6 January 13 th C (30.6 F) 7.6 C (45.7 F) C (2.1 F) 17.4 C (63.3 F) 12.1 C (53.8 F) 10.7 C (51.3 F)

7 January 28 th C (-6.7 F) -2.9 C (26.8 F) C (7.0 F) 11.0 C (51.8 F) 12.6 C (54.7 F) 4.7 C (40.5 F)

8 September 10 th C (57.4 F) 26.1 C (79.0 F) 22.5 C (72.5 F) 34.2 C (93.6 F) 32.9 C (91.2 F) 32.8 C (91.0 F)

9 Clarity of Weather Scenarios Need to communicate clearly what the weather scenarios represent. Industry familiar with concepts of Normal and Extreme but require something tangible. Ever try to explain to management that the peak day is based on a THI of 32.5 C

10 IESO Approach How do we maintain consistency across the zones? How do we make sure that the weather concepts are understandable? Keep weather date specific!

11 Estimating Daily Weather Impacts Using our daily peak models Estimate over a short but stable time horizon Using the model coefficients build the daily peak weather impact of your historic data We use 31 years of weather history Let s look at constructing a Normal month

12 Demand Model Demand = f (weather, calendar, economic) Demand = f (temperature, humidity, cloud cover, wind speed, calendar, economic) Demand t = α + β 1 Temp t + β 2 Humidity t + β 3 Wind t + β 4 Cloud t ε τ Demand t = 13, *Temp t + 152*Humidity t - 13*Wind t - 102*Cloud t ε t Weather Impact t = 419*Temp t + 152*Humidity t - 13*Wind t - 102*Cloud t Use the model to quantify the weather impact

13 Weather Impact for July 23 rd 1982 June 23 rd, ,787 MW = 26.9 C % + 14 km/hr + scattered cloud WF f( Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed & Cloud Cover)

20 Normalization Periods Can normalize a number of different ways: Daily, Weekly, Monthly & Seasonal Use rank and sort approach on each Each normalization period has a different distribution

21 July Peak Various Normalizations 8,000 7,000 Extreme (0.0 %) Seasonal Normal (2.5%) 6,000 Monthly Normal (2.9%) 5,000 Weather Impact (MW) 4,000 3,000 Weekly Normal (13.4%) Monthly Mild (45%) 2,000 1, % 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% 80.0% 90.0% 100.0% -1,000

22 Impacts More than Peak 8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 MW 3,000 2,000 1, ,000 Monthly Normal Weekly Normal

23 Mapping - Scenarios IESO uses a contrived weekly profile for Weekly Normalization Ensures that peak is on a Wednesday to avoid most holidays All other scenarios are ranked and mapped off of the Weekly Normal profile Possibility of using historical profile Benefit contains the temporal flow of weather Calendar can have a negative impact.

24 Capturing Uncertainty We do analysis that is both deterministic and probabilistic as such we need a measure of uncertainty We can construct measures of uncertainty in the same way we construct weather scenarios Essentially, we trade certainty for uncertainty.
