ICA and LNBA Working Group Background
ICA and LNBA WG Purpose
-
Pursuant to the May 2, 2016, Assigned Commissioner’s Ruling (ACR) in DRP proceeding (R.14-08-013), the Joint Utilities are required to convene the ICA WG to:
Refine ICA and LNBA Methodologies and Requirements
Authorize Demonstration Project A and Project B
CPUC Energy Division role
Oversight to ensure balance and achievement of State objective (ensure adequate stakeholder representation in consensus statements, keeping WG activities on track with Commission expectations/needs, demonstration project results review, quality control on deliverables)
Coordination with both related CPUC activities and activities in other agencies (IDER CSF WG, CEC and CAISO interagency matters, interconnection/Rule 21/SIWG, other proceedings that may impact or be impacted by locational value calculation such as AB 350/IRP and LTPP/TPP/RPS)
Steward WG agreements into CPUC decisions when necessary
More Than Smart role
Engaged by Joint Utilities to facilitate both the ICA & LBNA working groups. This leverages the previous work of MTS facilitating stakeholder discussions on ICA and LBNA topics. Slide4

Agenda6.2(1)(A): Locational Benefits Over Long-Term Horizon
6.2(1)(B): Locational Grid Services Provided By Advanced Smart Inverter Capabilities6.2(1)(C): Alternatives Avoided Cost Method
6.2(1)(D): Effect on Avoided Cost of DER Working “in Concert”
9Slide10
6.2(1)(A): Locational Benefits Over Long-Term Horizon
Based on experience, explore whether/how probability estimates could be made that undetected needs will arise the during distribution planning period
procurement of DERs will avoid future upgrades beyond the distribution planning period
Key questions:
What is uncertainty within 10 year planning window and what are key drivers of uncertainty?
What are “undetected needs”?
Is it appropriate to estimate system needs/projects/costs beyond 10 year planning window?
Can DER deployment mitigate these costs?
What is the possible magnitude of these costs
What are possible approaches to this issue?
How should these be reflected in LNBA refinement?

6.2(1)(B): Locational Grid Services Provided By Advanced Smart Inverter Capabilities
11
Examples of seven functions identified by SIWG: (i) Disconnect/Reconnect, (ii) Limit Max Real Power, (iii) Set Real Power, (iv)
Freq
-Watt Mode, (v) Volt-Watt Mode, (vi) Dynamic Reactive Current Support, (vii) Schedule Power Values and Modes
Key questions:
Any additions/subtractions to the seven functions?
Which grid services enabled by each function?
Which grid services enabled by smart inverter functions are included in LNBA and which are not?
What new methodologies are needed? Slide12
6.2(1)(C): Alternatives Avoided Cost Method
12
Key questions:
What are alternative methods?
“Deferral Value” based on Long-Run Incremental Costing?
“Present Value” of alternative expansion plans including cost of customer interruptions
“Reliability Differentiated Rates”
“Annual Deferral Value”
What are strengths/weaknesses/typical applications for each?
What are data needs for each?
What are some improvements to LNBA?
Include full set of costs and benefits
Use dynamic models
Use marginal distribution costs
Link ICA/LNBA and DER procurement and load forecasting
Optimize subject to GHG constraints and minimizing ratepayer cost
Test cost-causation hypothesisSlide13Slide14
Process to Achieve LNBA
The process of determining the locational impacts of a DER (or portfolio of DERs) requires three steps: (1) determining the impact of the DER on the electric grid [using ICA]; (2) translating that impact into cost—whether an avoided cost (i.e
., a reduction in overall cost of providing electricity via the electric grid) or an increased cost—for each of the components listed above; and (3) aggregating, into a single present value of locational net benefit impact, the identified costs across all value components, for the life of the DER being evaluated.

6.2(1)(D): Effect on Avoided Cost of DER Working “in Concert”
18
Determine method for evaluating effect on avoided cost of DER working “in concert” (e.g. using a DERMS) in the same electrical footprint of a substation.
Key questions:
What are upgrades can be avoided/deferred?
If requirements for avoiding/deferring DERs are technology neutral, DER working in concert don’t require modification in avoided cost methodology itself.
Enhancement is required in determining how aggregation/coordination of resource changes which costs are avoided and to what degree.
DERs working in concert will perform differently than the same DERs without coordination (e.g. increased reliability/diversity).
Fewer resources may be needed if working in concert
DERs in concert may complement each other such that avoided costs are greater than the sum of their independent avoided costs
LNBA WG should review assumptions on how DERs interact, including through DERMS, and the impacts on benefits/costs to ratepayers
