1 WEC PGP Workshop on Benchmarking Working Group #2 Report Buenos Aires, 20 April 2010 Promoting the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all

2 What Is Benchmarking? Process that considers the impact design and operational variables have on the reliability of an electric generating unit or group of similar units. Uses the design characteristics and operational factors of the target unit groups as its starting point. Creates a statistically valid group of units having similar design and operational variables. The peer group can be used to set realistic goals for power unit improvements.

3 Sources of Benchmarking Data WEC - PGP KISSY PRIS GADS Report Directly to PGP

4 PGP Database Update Who used the PGP database in ? In the past year, 150 people have registered with the PGP database, which is two steps further than just a visit to the site. Many more people visited the site over the same period. Users include universities, WEC member committees, consulting groups, national laboratories, electric utilities, and more.

5 PGP Database Update Two types of data collected by PGP database Unit-by-unit data Groups of units Statistics of Unit-by-Unit Years reported: 115 Units reported: 48,498 Total reported capacity: 7,748,544 MW Average capacity: MW

6 Examples of Benchmarking Data Design data Manufacturer of the steam generator Classifies steam generators pressure as subcritical or supercritical Type of fuel firing system installed on the steam generator (Tangential, cyclone, front-fired, etc) Pressurized or balanced furnace draft system

7 PGP Database Design Selection Screen The user can select as many items from the design selections as the want. Design criteria can be selected from a list of items (drop-down box) or select your own range of pressures.

8 Examples of Benchmarking Data Operating Data Year the unit was placed in commercial service MW rating of the turbine Number of hours unit generating annually. Number of Reserve Shutdown Hours experienced by the generating unit Net Output Factor is the Net Actual Generation divided by the sum of the Service Hours and the Net Maximum Capacity of the unit.

9 PGP Database Operating Selection Screen The user can select as many items from the operating selections as the want. Operating criteria can be selected from ranges selected.

10 PGP Database Results for Fossil-steam units MW, all fuel types, , (61 units)

11 Confidentiality of PGP Database All data sent to PGP database is confidential! All data is encrypted by the reporting companies before entry into the PGP so that no one can identify another unit by name, description, KPI, etc. No real time data; only historical NERC GADS has such confidence in PGP that it reports its 5,800 units annually to PGP. Competitors will not have access to your data!

12 Confidentiality of PGP Database Your Unit Data Access to Your Data By Competitors

13 PGP Database Results for Fossil-steam units MW, all fuel types, , (61 units) Are these units from Germany? Malaysia? Argentina? USA? ~ ~ ~ ~ Notice no unit ID On any of the Distribution points!

14 Major Contributors to PGP Database

15 Sources of Benchmarking Data Major suppliers to the Performance of Generating Plant Database (PGP) KraftwerkInformationSSYstem (KISSY) operated from Europe Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) from IAEA Generating Availability Data System (GADS) from the USA.

16 KISSY Update

17 KISSY Database Operated by VGB (Germany) Collecting power plant data from European and other countries. 170,000 MW from 13 countries.

18 Data source: control room Example for Information Process Company reports Possibility of WEC PGP Input (decision of providing company) Company statistics KISSY results published Provides data to VGB data check and input VGB statistics

19 PRIS Update

20 Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) PRIS operating by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Collects outage and other data on all nuclear plants worldwide. Reactor Unit Specification Site Data Owners, Operators, Contractors Design Characteristics Schematics Images Annual Operating Experience Data Monthly Production Data Monthly Unavailability Data Outages Decommissioning Data Reference power Lifetime generation Scrams & critical hours Annual highlights Electricity production On-line hours NEA production (heat, water) Planned energy loss Forced energy loss Outage extension loss Externally cased loss Start Time, Duration Energy loss Type/Cause/System Description and mode Project Status Milestones

21 Nuclear Reactors in the World

22 Current Construction

23 GADS Update

24 GADS Update Operating by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) for collecting power plant data in North America. Collects outage data on 5,800 generating units. 782,000+ MW of fossil-steam, nuclear, gas turbines, combined cycles, hydro, etc. from USA, Canada, Malaysia, Ireland, Israel, and Brazil. GADS is in the process to become mandatory reporting for generators in the USA and possibility Canada Goal is 950,000 MW NDC

25 GADS Update Wind and Solar Started beta testing in 2009 and collected data on 1,266 WTG in Will add hourly generation from wind farms to GADS in 2011 to meet dispatch and planning needs. Preparing to collect solar data starting in 2011 Concentrated Solar Power Photovotaic
