AI summary The document lists power generation units with their fuel types and capacities, including coal, natural gas, and biomass. Footnotes discuss Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) values for renewables, Annapolis being out of service, and Lingan Unit 2's cold reserve status for winter 2023/2024.
Winter Additions Retirements • Battery Storage (Installed capacity: 10MW; firm capacity: 8MW) • Combustion turbine (50 MW) • Combustion turbines (200 MW) • New wind additions (Installed capacity 200 MW, firm 20 MW based on marginal ELCC 20...
AI summary The document outlines additions and retirements of energy generation and storage assets from 2027 to 2031, including battery storage, combustion turbines, wind additions, and coal-to-gas conversions, with specific capacity figures and retirements of older facilities.
NS Power’s projected utilization of each of the units in the thermal generating fleet is set out below 4 in Figure 8. 5 6 Figure 8: NS Power Steam Fleet Unit Utilization Forecast 7
AI summary The document outlines NS Power’s projected utilization of units in the thermal generating fleet, as depicted in Figure 8, which provides a forecast of steam fleet unit utilization.
iping systems) and accelerates failure mechanisms; 19 therefore, these must also be considered to properly estimate the service interval and 20 appropriate maintenance strategies. 21 22 • Asset health is a critical operating parameter to k...
AI summary The document discusses the importance of asset health in asset management decisions, particularly in determining the operational capabilities of generating units. It also mentions the use of the PLEXOS dispatch optimization model by NS Power to forecast unit utilization factors annually.
1 The PRM provides a basis for the minimum required firm generation NS Power must plan to 2 maintain to comply with NPCC reliability criteria; it does not represent the optimal or maximum 3 required capacity to serve other system requireme...
AI summary The text discusses the PRM and its role in ensuring minimum required firm generation for NS Power to meet reliability criteria. It highlights a severe cold weather event in February 2023, which tested system capacity, and explains the capacity contribution of renewable resources using ELCC and LOLE studies.
1 average ELCC of the wind currently installed on the NS Power system to be 19 percent. The 2 declining marginal ELCC value of adding new wind to the NS Power system was determined to 3 be 11 to 9 percent. In the 2020 IRP, the Company used...
AI summary The document discusses the Effective Load-Carrying Capacity (ELCC) of wind and solar resources in Nova Scotia, noting that existing wind has an 18% capacity value, new wind has a 10% capacity value, and solar has very limited ELCC due to poor correlation with peak load hours. It also references the inclusion of ERIS wind resources and a 10-year load and resources outlook based on capacity changes and demand-side management forecasts.
