Xcel Electric Resource Plan (ERP) Study Group - Fourth Meeting
The fourth Session will be on Monday, June 14, 2021 with one session at 10:30 am and one at 7 pm--Choose the time that is best for you.
For the 10:30 am meeting please plan on a "Show and Tell" related to
Storage
Demand Flexibility and Management
The idea is to go looking on the internet for stories and resources that can help support the argument that we can shave the peak and manage Xcel's load with storage and demand management options rather than just getting more gas turbines. The goal is to have each person present (even if briefly) one study or media story that they found related to applications of storage and/or demand management. (Don't worry if they aren't perfectly "on point." We are in the "cast a wide net" stage.)
For the 7 pm meeting, we'll be hearing from some of the modeling teams as they get started working with past data in anticipation of getting more recent data in the coming months.
This is intended to be a Study Group where we all help each other understand and think about the material. I'll send out the testimony and topic for the first few times and then we'll work together to decide how to structure the meetings as we dive deeper into what is being proposed. To start with, I'll plan on about a 10-15 minute PPT and the rest of the session will be devoted to discussion and planning for the next session as well as talking about how to disseminate the information.
We'll meet approximately every other Monday on the 2nd and 4th Monday's of the month through the spring and probably into the summer. We'll have one session at 10:30 am and one at 7 pm. These two sessions will cover approximately the same information
Topics will include:
Introduction and Overview
Coal Plant Options (including coal supply)
Coal Plant Cost Recovery--How to make it more equitable
Modeling--Assumptions and outputs
Utility scale v distributed solar
Discount rate--why it matters
Methane--How much for how long?
Transmission--Building but not overbuilding
Rate impacts--Say "What?"
Performance Incentive Mechanisms
If you miss a session, don't worry--we'll do quick reviews to help everyone get caught up. Just tune back in as quickly as you can!
