Assess the ability of a power system to help adequately satisfy load requirements.
Assess system adequacy with Monte Carlo Simulations
Assess the effectiveness of your power system more quickly and accurately with the Resource Adequacy function of PlanOS*, to help adequately satisfy demand. Based on a full sequential Monte Carlo simulation, Resource Adequacy performs a chronological simulation of the system—comparing the hourly load demand in each area to the total available generation in the area—adjusted to account for planned maintenance and randomly occurring forced outages.
Full Sequential Monte Carlo. Simulation that goes beyond loss of load expectation and expected unserved energy.
Evaluate risk. Model emergency operating procedures and their effect on generation capacity adequacy.
Industry-backed best practices. Simulate renewable generation while preserving load correlation.
Storage. Updated energy storage modeling for pumped hydro and battery energy.
Beyond LOLE and EUE. Gather insights into the duration, frequency, and causes of events with chronological system simulations.
High-performance computing. Resource Adequacy supports task parallelization to reduce time requirements for a single study.
Pre-made datasets. Access ready-to-use datasets available for license for faster model creation.
Transfer analysis. Simplify transmission topology using emergency transfer limits developed, constrain the power flow between major load areas of your system.
Resource Adequacy benefits
1
Conduct probabilistic power and reliability assessments of generation capacity adequacy, such as NERC PROB-A, to help ensure system reliability and mitigate potential risks.
2
Established best practices for modeling renewable generation. Resource Adequacy supports unlimited years of renewable generation data while preserving correlation to load.
3
Perform calculations such as equivalent load carrying capacity to better meet resource adequacy demands.
4
Assess reliability of power supply in meeting energy demand.
5
Determine the need for implementing emergency operating procedures down to hours/year to help avoid system failures.
