Nova Scotia Power filed technical conference presentations on wind integration and electrification strategy as closing evidence in the 2023 Evergreen IRP proceeding
AI summary
- NS Power filed two engagement session presentations (Exhibits N-9 and N-10) from a February 2, 2024 technical conference as part of Matter M11307, covering large-scale inverter-based resource (IBR) wind integration and an electrification strategy roadmap developed with consultant E3.
- The Wind Integration Study (N-9) found that high IBR penetration creates grid stability risks including frequency oscillations, voltage collapse, and control interactions, and recommended revisions to transmission and distribution interconnection requirements (TSIR/DSIR), periodic system strength assessments, and development of real-time operating guidelines for a high-IBR grid.
- The Electrification Strategy Roadmap (N-10) identified 'no regrets' electrification initiatives in transportation and buildings, recommending expanded time-of-use rates, rebates to offset upfront costs in collaboration with Efficiency One, EV charging infrastructure development, and integration of electrification forecasts into utility planning models.
- NS Power reported progress on several roadmap action items, including AMI data integration into distribution planning models, completion of the Smart Grid Nova Scotia pilot, and active engagement with the DSM Advisory Group (DSMAG) on electrification and demand response pilot projects under the current DSM Supply Agreement.
- A cost-benefit analysis tool developed with E3 evaluates electrification measures across three tests—Participant Cost Test, Ratepayer Impact Measure, and Societal Cost Test—covering both transportation and building sectors, and NS Power indicated it will use this tool to design and launch electrification and DR initiatives in 2024.
