What is IPM • The Integrated Planning Model (IPM) is a long-term capacity expansion and production costing model for analyzing the electric power sector • It is a multi-regional, deterministic, dynamic linear programming model • IPM finds the least-cost solution to meeting electricity demand subject to environmental, transmission, fuel, reserve margin, and other system operating constraints • Developed by ICF International and populated with assumptions specified by each client • Used by U.S. EPA to project the impact of emission policies on the U.S. electric power sector

Wind Generation Assumptions

4

Cost, Performance and Penetration Assumptions for Potential Wind Technology  The EPA Base Case explicitly models onshore wind units. Off shore wind units are not modeled. The wind technology assumptions modeled in the EPA Base Case are primarily based on AEO 2008.  The wind resources are categorized into 3 wind classes, 4, 5 and 6; and 5 cost classes ranging from 1 (least expensive) to 5 (most expensive).  Wind generation profile assumptions that specify hourly generation patterns for a representative day by region, season and wind class are based on AEO 2008. These generation profiles define the dispatch of these units.  The EPA Base Case includes a wind penetration constraint for each model region, which restricts each region’s total wind generation up to 20 percent of total generation.  Base cost assumptions for new (potential) wind generation: Cost Parameter Capital Cost (2006$/kW)

Wind Technology – Capacity Credit 

For intermittent technologies such as wind and solar units, their contribution towards regional reserve margin requirements is less than 100%. The reserve margin contribution for such technologies is estimated based on a unit’s generation profile.



First, the hourly load for the model region is sorted in descending order (highest to lowest). Next, the average generation, derived from the generation profile, for the top 30% of the hours is calculated.



The resulting value, expressed as a percent of the unit’s rated output capacity is used as the reserve margin contribution/ capacity credit for the unit. The table below shows the national average reserve margins by wind class, modeled in the EPA Base Case.

Cost and Performance Assumptions for Potential Solar Technology Modeled in EPA Base Case  The EPA Base Case models two types of solar technologies: Solar Thermal and Solar Photovoltaic.  The cost characteristics for the potential solar technologies are obtained from EIA’s AEO 2008 and are shown in the table below. Capital Costs (2006$ /kW)

Renewable Portfolio Standards

18

State Renewable Portfolio Standards  Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) require utilities to use renewable energy or renewable energy credits (RECs) to account for a certain percentage of their retail electricity sales – or a certain amount of generating capacity – within a specified timeframe.  More than half of all U.S. states have established a RPS.  The level of RPS requirements and the technologies applicable to meet the RPS requirements vary by state.  The RPS assumptions in the EPA Base Case are based on AEO 2008.
