Trained as an engineer and employed at a national laboratory, I have been working on new forms of planning for electrical utilities. To learn how environmental groups have influenced utility company decisions, I spent a year (July 1992 through June 1993) working with the Energy Project of the Land and Water Fund of the Rockies (LAW Fund). The LAW Fund provides legal support to local environmental groups throughout the Rocky Mountain region. The LAW Fund's Energy Project focuses on the use of demand-side management programs, renewable resources, and integrated resource planning as ways for utilities to deliver desired energy services to their customers at minimal environmental cost. (Demand-side management programs are those that affect the amount and timing of customer electricity use, such as energy audits.)

There is wide variability in how organizations approach sustainability and the energy system transition toward using more renewables. In the electric power industry, while some distribution utilities have leaned into the transition, others have taken a more conservative approach. Grounded in an institutional resource-based perspective, this multi-level study examines key intra-firm, firm, and individual leadership factors that impact an organization’s commitment to renewables. Sustainability orientation in the power industry is assessed as the percent of renewable energy in a utility’s fuel mix compared with their expressed commitment to renewables and energy efficiency within planning documents. Through computer-aided text analysis, characteristics of 170 electric utilities in the United States were analyzed to predict sustainability orientation. Results indicate that rurality, deregulation, and the entrepreneurial orientation of a utility, as expressed within their Integrated Resource Plans, explain a significant amount of variability in the sustainability orientation of electric utilities.

This study presents a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) framework in support of strategic resource planning of electric utilities. Study efforts have focused on four technical issues identified to be essentially important to the process of strategic resource development, i.e., decision data expansion, MADM analysis with imprecise information, MADM analysis under uncertainty and screening applications. Main contributions from this study are summarized as follows. First, an automatic learning method is introduced for decision data expansion aiming at reducing the amount of computations involved in the creation of decision database. Test results have shown that the proposed method is feasible, easy to implement, and more accurate than the techniques available in the existing literature. Second, an interval-based MADM methodology is developed, which extends the traditional utility function model with the measure of composite utility variance, accounting for individual errors from inaccurate attribute measurements and inconsistent priority judgments. This enhanced decision approach would help the decision-maker (DM) gain insight into how the imprecise data may affect the choice toward the best solution and how a range of acceptable alternatives may be identified with certain confidence. Third, an integrated MADM framework is developed for multi-attribute planning under uncertainty which combines attractive features of utility function, tradeoff/risk analysis and analytical hierarchy process and thus provides a structured decision analysis platform accommodating both probabilistic evaluation approach and risk evaluation approach. Fourth, the application of screening models is investigated in the context of integrated resource planning of electric utilities as to identify cost effective demand-side options and robust generation expansion planning schemes.

The thesis aims to introduce an efficient resource development strategy in electric utility long term planning under uncertainty considerations. In recent years, electric utilities have recognized the concepts of robustness, flexibility, and risk exposure, to be considered in their resource development strategy. The concept of robustness means to develop resource plans that can perform well for most, if not all futures, while flexibility is to allow inexpensive changes to be made if the future conditions deviate from the base assumptions. A risk exposure concept is used to quantify the risk hazards in planning alternatives for different kinds of future conditions. This study focuses on two technical issues identified to be important to the process of efficient resource development: decision-making analysis considering robustness and flexibility, and decision-making analysis considering risk exposure. The technique combines probabilistic methods and tradeoff analysis, thereby producing a decision set analysis concept to determine robustness that includes flexibility measures. In addition, risk impact analysis is incorporated to identify the risk exposure in planning alternatives. Contributions of the work are summarized as follows. First, an efficient resource development framework for planning under uncertainty is developed that combines features of utility function, tradeoff analysis, and the analytical hierarchy process, incorporating a performance evaluation approach. Second, the multi-attribute risk-impact analysis method is investigated to handle the risk hazards exposed in power system resource planning. Third, the penetration levels of wind and photovoltaic generation technologies into the total generation system mix, with their constraints, are determined using the decision-making model. The results from two case studies show the benefits of the proposed framework by offering the decision makers various options for lower cost, lower emission, better reliability, and higher efficiency plans.

Electric utilities engaging in integrated resource planning face a variety of uncertainties which complicate the development of robust plans. These uncertainties occur in variables such as demand growth, energy price, green house gas regulations, and water inflows for hydroelectric-dominated utilities, just to name a few. This study examines the current planning methods in use among (largely North American) utilities with a particular focus on the features of each method that manage or mitigate uncertainty. The two most common planning methods (portfolio-based and scenario-based planning) are analysed and their advantages, disadvantages, potential alterations, and circumstances of best application are evaluated. These findings are then applied to the case of BC Hydro, one of the largest electric utilities in Canada, with recommendations for changes to their current planning process.

Widespread adoption of electric vehicles would bring a paradigm shift in the way distribution infrastructure is planned and electricity markets operate. Electric vehicle adoption could help in meeting the worldwide targets for greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the health benefits for the public would be immense as the source of emissions would be far away from the massively populated areas. For electricity markets, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed plug in facility of energy storage at low cost requiring minimal capital investment from grid utilities. However, widespread electric vehicle adoption faces a number of hurdles such as limited range in comparison to Internal combustion engines, but from the grid perspective, it faces issues such as limitations of available charging infrastructure to charge large number of electric vehicles and longer charging time currently as compared to refueling fuel driven vehicles. This chapter explores such issues and their remedies in the current literature.

Power systems' planning, particularly in developing countries, faces enormous challenges and problems such as defining the future load growth in the face of uncertainties. Renewable energies are coming to the arena and affecting the planning of power and energy systems. The relation between power generation, transmission, and distribution entities, as well as the need for consolidating the dispersed electric utilities in the isolated regions is a prerequisite for future planning. Plenty of technologies, systems, and contractors are coming off the road while an optimal reliability levels need to be achieved. This chapter attempts to display the most tedious and prominent problems and challenges that face innovating the electric power systems which must be based on two major factors, namely reliability and cost. This chapter will help in drafting a new contracting style that mitigate obstacles that face power systems planners and concerned agencies while planning and operating electric power facilities.

Electric utilities over the domain affected with ecological issues associated with standard fossil fuel-established plants are examining more within the potentiality of interposing energy sources type of plants into the system as an alternative. Integration of Demand Side Management (DSM) and Supply Side Management (SSM) is required in a rational power system planning that implies concurrent deliberation of both qualitative and quantitative problems like costs, fuel mix, and reliability of power supply. This chapter examines the economic and environmental ability of power supplies initiation into an existing peak deficit power system, incorporating both DSM and SSM plans. The Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) study is carried out in the power system for the period of 24 years planning horizon.

An optimal planning method of renewal planning for energy supply systems is proposed to determine the proper renewal year and selection as to what kind of equipment is suitable for several types of buildings from economic viewpoint. In this method, they are determined together with maximum contract demands of utilities such as electricity and natural gas so as to minimize the annual total cost in consideration of system’s annual operational strategies corresponding to seasonal and hourly energy demand requirements during every evaluation year considered. A numerical study is carried out for an office building with a total floor area of 15 000m2, where the system is consisted of an electric refrigerator and a steam boiler. Through the numerical calculation, the influence of the following items are clarified on the optimal renewing year and selection of renewing equipment of the system by the parametric study; (a) upgrading technology of the equipment in the future; (b) initial capital cost of equipment; (c) renewing construction cost and trade-in value rate; and (d) interest rate.

As a result of increasingly stringent emissions limitations being imposed on coal-fired power plants today, electric utilities are faced with having to make major compliance related modifications to their existing power plants. While many utilities have elected to implement expensive post-combustion NOx reduction programs on their largest generating units, infurnace NOx reduction offers a less expensive alternative suitable to any size boiler, to reduce NOx while also improving overall combustion. In-furnace NOx reduction strategies have proven that, when used with other less expensive approaches (Overfire air, fuel switching, and/or SNCR), levels less than 0.15 lb./MMBtu can be economically achieved. Furthermore, when implemented in conjunction with an expensive post-combustion SCR program, initial capital requirements and ongoing operating costs can be cut to save utilities millions of dollars. For the purpose of developing a system-wide NOx reduction strategy, Santee Cooper, a southeastern U.S. utility applied pulverized coal flow and individual burner airflow measurement systems to Unit 3 at its Jefferies Station, a 165MW, 16-burner front wall-fired boiler. The airflow measurement system, in service for many years, applied a well-proven averaging Pitot tube technology to measure individual burner secondary airflow. The coal flow measurement system utilized low energy microwaves to accurately measure coal density and coal velocity in individual coal pipes. The combination of these two systems provided the accurate measurements necessary for controlled manipulation of individual burner stoichiometries, giving the plant the ability to improve burner combustion, yielding a reduction in NOx levels approaching 20%. Optimized burner combustion also resulted in a leveling of the excess O2 profile, which will enable the plant to pursue further reductions in excess air as well as staged combustion, thus allowing for further NOx reductions in the future. How this program produced a significant NOx reduction will be presented in detail in this paper. The paper will also discuss the effects on excess O2, opacity, and unburned carbon. In addition, this program will allow for future system-wide planning with regard to possible SCR implementation.

The electricity supply industry is being restructured all over the world. Privatisation, with the emergence of Independent Power Projects (IPPs), especially in developing countries, and liberalisation of the power generation market are changing decision-making processes in a radical way. New challenges of deregulation and customer demands, and economic instabilities in south-east Asia, oblige electric utilities to face a double jeopardy: least-cost planning and least-risk investments. Consumers are encouraged to save energy and emission reduction policies are implemented to promote utilisation of high efficiency, clean power production technologies. The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of life cycle risk management and Decision Support System (DSS) for open and combined cycle schemes, highlighting the market potential for Flexible Mid-size Gas Turbines (FMGT) in mid-merit applications. The DSS that has been developed at Cranfield University includes: plant simulation program, providing design and off-design performance, maintenance planning, component degradation, and load-following models. In addition several economic techniques based upon engineering finance and project accounting make power plant economic appraisals possible. The DSS also provides a Monte Carlo risk analysis in order to deal with technical and economic uncertainties in a very effective way. Case studies will stress several parameters that planners have to carefully assess when making decision in the context of the coming millennium, bringing all sorts of new challenges and areas of uncertainty that will be discussed in the paper.

A long term program was initiated in 1987 to develop an electric utility indirect coal-fired gas turbine combined cycle. This initial program was supported primarily by U.S. electric utility organizations and had as a purpose the experimental assessment of a ceramic heat exchanger concept applied as a high pressure gas turbine air heater developed by Hague International. The purpose of the initial phase of the development program was to determine if the ceramic materials, then available for use in the air heater, would withstand the high temperature 2200 F (1204 °C) corrosive environment produced by the combustion of coal. Also, in this initial phase, the program was intended to evaluate means of preventing the fouling of the air heater by fly ash. This experimental work was successful. A second phase of the program to build a 7-MW thermal input prototype was initiated in 1990 under the auspices of a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy Morgantown Energy Technology Center (DOE-METC). This work was funded by a consortium of electric utilities, utility organizations, industrial organizations, state agencies, international entities, and the U.S. Department of Energy-METC. New members joined the existing Phase I Consortium to participate in funding the second phase. This second prototype phase is nearing completion and test results are to be available beginning mid-1994. A third, or demonstration phase, of the indirect-fired gas turbine program was selected under the U.S. Clean Coal Technology Program Round V. in May, 1993. This demonstration phase is currently in the planning and preliminary engineering stage. The objective of this proposed demonstration phase is to repower an existing coal-fired power plant in the Pennsylvania Electric Company system at Warren, Pennsylvania (Figure 1). This paper describes the demonstration plant, and the anticipated role of the EFCC cycle in the power generation industry, as well as the performance and economic merits of the Warren repowering concept.

An analytical approach is often taken to predict the performance of renewable energy systems at a site, but an analytic approach requires detailed information on the system to be modeled that is better determined during schematic design than guessed-at during pre-design. This paper describes a heuristic approach to identify and prioritize renewable energy project opportunities before detailed system information is available. The method determines the combination of renewable energy technologies that minimize life-cycle cost at a facility, often with a specified goal regarding percent of energy use from renewable sources. Technologies include: photovoltaics (PV); wind; solar thermal heat and electric; solar ventilation air preheating; solar water heating; biomass heat and electric (combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion); and daylighting. The method rests upon the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) capabilities in: characterizing of the empirical cost and performance of technologies; geographic information systems (GIS) resource assessment; and life-cycle cost analysis. For each technology, simple heuristic algorithms relate renewable energy resources at a site to annual energy delivery with coefficients that are determined empirically. Initial cost and operation and maintenance (O&M) cost also use empirical data. Economic performance is then calculated with a site’s utility rates and incentives. The paper discusses how to account for the way candidate technologies interact with each other, and the solver routine used to determine the combination that minimizes lifecycle cost. Results include optimal sizes of each technology, initial cost, operating cost, and life-cycle cost, including incentives from utilities or governments. Results inform early planning to identify and prioritize projects at a site for subsequent engineering and economic feasibility study. Case studies include industrial sites, military bases, and civic buildings.

The Italian strategic plan for the energy policy targets 25% of the national generation mix covered by nuclear technology by 2030. Considering a demand for electric power of 340 TWh in 2010 and assuming an annual rate of increase between 2,5% and 1,0%, the national plan would require to build some 8–10 large nuclear power plants, at least. The new generation capacity may be covered by EPR or AP1000 technology or, alternatively, by multiple SMR (i.e. 300–150 MWe), or even a mix of LR and SMR. The original intent, prior to the stop imposed by the dramatic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, was to have the first plant deployed by 2020. Today the Italian strategy to re-open the nuclear option is undergoing hard criticism and its fate is currently uncertain. In this context, this paper might contribute to the debate, by exploring the economics of the nuclear option with a focus on the opportunity to invest in large NPP category rather than in multiple, modular SMR. The latter have features that may compensate the dis-economy of scale and improve their cost-effectiveness, while granting investors with a lower up-front investment and a higher capability of project self-financing. The analysis is run through the Polimi’s proprietary “INtegrated model for the Competitiveness Analysis of Small modular reactors” (INCAS).Even if some specific inputs are related to the Italian scenario (e.g. the Electricity price) the results can be generalized to countries or utilities that are planning to install more than 10 GWe of nuclear capacity.

To meet the challenge of deregulation and customer demands for a free competitive market, the electric utility industry in the U.S. (and, for that matter, throughout the world) will experience tremendous changes over the next five years. These changes will be driven by two major forces: the deregulation of the industry and, therefore, no guaranteed return on investment but more importantly, the demands of customers for a free competitive market in the electric utility industry where they can achieve the lowest cost for the commodity. This will force utility companies to position themselves as low-cost producers. Although low cost does not necessarily mean success, it is obvious that cutting and/or reducing capital expenditures will play the most important role. Unregulated markets encourage product diversity, as firms look for “niche” profit opportunities. A pervasive lesson from other industries that have recently been deregulated clearly shows that unless properly planned, these companies will not only do poorly but may be completely wiped out from the market Generation Planning (base load vs. peak load, long-term vs. short-term) will become more important since two-thirds of the capital investment is tied to generation facilities. While low-cost utilities will have greater flexibility in adapting to competition, they will be far from immune to industry changes. Under a fully competitive marketplace, all generating plant assets/investments will come out of a rate base. Since all companies will be exposed to competition, high-cost generating assets would no longer be subsidized by ratepayers. This will force the utility companies to invest in low capital cost generation only, at least during the next ten to fifteen years. This paper will briefly discuss the status of various advanced generation technologies with respect to their costs, applicability and limitations, where these technologies are expected to be cost effective and finally how these technologies compare with the state-of-the-art combined cycle gas-turbine technology. It is predicted that as environmental regulations tighten on pollution, advanced generation technologies may benefit at the expense of current fossil fuel technologies. However, it is not certain whether economic growth in the U.S. can be sustained if new regulations on pollution force to add new plants with advanced generation technologies, compared to continuing with today’s generation mix. It will be examined how, when and where the advanced generation technologies would play an important role in penetrating the market on their own merits.

The Materials Reliability Program (MRP) Reactor Internals Focus Group (RI-FG) developed Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Internals Inspection and Evaluation (I&E) Guidelines under the sponsorship of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The I&E guidelines summarized in MRP-227 [1], provide a generic basis for U.S. utilities to develop their Aging Management Program (AMP) for managing the long-term aging degradation of PWR reactor internals including the existing and extended license periods. A number of internals structural bolts in the Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) design PWRs are fabricated from high-strength alloys such as Alloy A-286 or Alloy X-750. The materials in general, and bolts in particular, are known to be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) based on past operating experience. The Upper and Lower Core Barrel (UCB and LCB) bolts have a core support function and have been generically categorized as Primary components for inspection in the I&E Guidelines. The remaining Alloy A-286 and Alloy X-750 structural bolts are in the Expansion category. Per 10CFR54, all U.S. PWRs are required to establish a unit-specific AMP for the extended license period in accordance with the ten elements of an effective AMP outlined in the Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL, NUREG-1801 Rev. 01, [2]) report published by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the work performed by AREVA NP Inc. to support the development of the MRP I&E guidelines and unit-specific AMP for UCB and LCB bolts. A review of Alloy A-286 and Alloy X-750 bolts in the B&W design PWR is provided including the degradation mechanism, operating and inspection experience, replacement, and autoclave and in-reactor test results. The latest UT inspection technique used to characterize the extent of flaws is also discussed. Acceptance criteria for evaluating degraded conditions in UCB and LCB bolts were developed in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Section III, Subsection-NG core support structures requirements. In addition to Code compliance, special limits were established to limit the change in the core support structure stiffness. The acceptance criteria enable utilities to rapidly disposition UT inspection findings during an outage within 48 hours. In order to support the objectives of an efficient AMP for the UCB and LCB bolts, three-dimensional finite element models were prepared capable of evaluating all potential failure scenarios. These models enable accurate representation of flange flexibility and redistribution of loads due to deficient bolts. Prior to an outage, hypothetical patterns of bolt failures could be evaluated to support pre-outage planning and contingency preparation. During an outage, these models are used to disposition inspection results and help operability assessment of continued operation, and re-inspection requirement to ensure continued safety and integrity of the reactor vessel internals. Based on the existing work performed, future improvement and expansion of analytical capability is outlined in the last section of this paper. In conclusion, AREVA NP Inc. has demonstrated an effective use of a multi-disciplined approach using structural analyses, operating experience, material evaluations, and non-destructive examination (NDE) to fulfill both the development and implementation of unit-specific aging management commitments as required by MRP-227 for the current and extended license periods.
