ITEM 6: ELECTRIFICATION & LOAD GROWTH Continue to monitor electrification and load growth in Nova Scotia relative to the 2022 and 2023 Load Forecast reports which incorporate electrification impacts. Also, monitor for the addition of large...

AI summary The document emphasizes the need to continue monitoring electrification and load growth in Nova Scotia, referencing the 2022 and 2023 Load Forecast reports. It also highlights the importance of tracking the addition of large industrial customers that could influence resource requirements.

that correctly iden�fying the need for capacity is paramount for all subsequent IRP runs. The study should also ask whether energy to meet those peak demands should be stored in a batery, a tank, a lake or in a regionally linked, diversifi...

AI summary The study emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying capacity needs for Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) runs. It also explores options for storing energy to meet peak demands and considers how customer behavior may change due to decarbonization policies and rising carbon prices. NS Power plans to continue monitoring electrification and load growth, with recommendations to update electrification forecasts.

3.2.1 Overview of E3's EV Load Shaping Tool To calculate electricity bills and supply costs for EV charging, E3 developed a forecast of potential EV charging loads consistent with achieving Nova Scotia's policy goals. Charging loads depend...

AI summary E3 developed an EV Load Shaping Tool to forecast EV charging loads based on Nova Scotia's policy goals. The tool models driving and charging behavior using a bottom-up approach, considering factors like vehicle type, charging access, and driving patterns. It distinguishes between unmanaged, managed, and VGI charging scenarios to calculate electricity bills and supply costs.

Hourly load forecasts Load forecasts were developed at an hourly level for a full year for each scenario identified in Section 4. Load forecasts across the entire LDV population are averaged to give a per vehicle profile. [Figure 3-6](#pag...

AI summary The document discusses hourly load forecasts for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) in Nova Scotia, comparing unmanaged and managed charging profiles. Unmanaged charging occurs primarily in the early evening, while managed charging, influenced by Nova Scotia Power's time-of-use (TOU) rates, shifts charging to off-peak hours. These profiles are used in cost-benefit analysis and total load forecasting.

Transmission System Design and SMEs - Developing good quality EMT simulations models: - o Faster response to grid disturbances - o Higher frequency oscillatory response - o Work with IC, OEM, Simulation and EMT consultants - Existing Plant...

AI summary The document outlines the development of EMT simulation models to enhance grid response, the modeling of existing and new plant technologies, and the importance of accurate load modeling, including non-traditional loads like EVs and hydrogen.

echnical factors affecting risk and be shared with stakeholders as well. - 16. E1 agrees that an additional study of renewable integration would be beneficial and recommends that any future work on wind integration recognize the emerging v...

AI summary E1 supports NS Power's efforts to monitor renewable energy costs and update electrification forecasts. It emphasizes the importance of demand response for wind integration, annual Evergreen process updates, and revising ELCC assumptions to avoid underutilizing DER/DR resources or over-building other capacity.
