Integrated Resource Planning

IRP can provide a vehicle to test and put into force regulatory policies and actions. Environmental externalities, risk reduction, improving continuity of service, market distortions, and lack of inexpensive financing are all included in the IRP process. Policies are usually translated to fiscal or monetary measures through licensing procedures, tariff design, environmental penalties, renewable energy encouragement acts, and additional taxes or levies. This would certainly provide demand side options with some advantage over the conventional ones.

Modeling Practices

In order to integrate a renewable energy resource into the current electrical grid infrastructure, a comprehensive assessment of the demand-side usage patterns is compulsory. It includes such economic variables as tourism within the area, fuel usage, industrial/agricultural output, labor productivity, employment by sector, household income, and the electricity prices by group. A few of the key metrics as inputs for the integrated resource planning are described in this chapter. A thorough assessment and detailed analysis is also required for each generator request to investigate the proposed electrical impact on the grid.

Integrated Resource Planning

Traditionally, the method used in the electricity generation expansion planning has concentrated only on the supply-side options to identify the sequence of generation additions meet the forecasted demand at a minimum cost. Electricity generation expansion planning with both supply- and demand-side options, commonly known as integrated resource planning are also being used in some developed countries. With growing environmental concerns, especially the emission of air-pollutants from the power generation, demand-side management and clean and efficient generation technology options in the power sector development are getting increasing attention. In this paper, we compare the traditional planning approach with integrated resource planning. We also analyze the implications of CO2 reduction targets for the power sector development in the framework of supply side planning by including clean supply-side technologies as candidate plants. During the planning horizon, generation capacity of 365 MW and a cumulative electricity generation or 61,681 GWh would be avoided through the use of efficient demand-side technologies compared to the business-as-usual (BAU) case. When the clean supply-side options considered in the least-cost planning process, three units of 100-MW biomass-based plants are selected. The long run average cost of generation is found to increase by 0.32, 0.65 and 1.61% at the level of CO2 emission reduction target of 5, 10, and 20%, respectively.

Integrated Resource Strategic Planning (IRSP) is an extension of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) at the national level for power planning. It provides a new theoretical foundation for the implementation of demand-side management (DSM) in the deregulated conditions. In this paper, IRSP model for power planning is proposed. In the model, both supply-side and demand-side resources as efficient power plant (EPP) are considered in the optimization process. A case study for the power planning in the United States is presented in the paper. The results indicate that, comparing with traditional planning the IRSP model can not only achieve the minimum total costs, but also reduce the supply-side capacity installation and the related pollution emissions.

Planning Methods

More and more deep integrated resource planning methods and demand side management (DSM) technologies have been studied and applied in China. Using technological and economic means of DSM, exploiting energy-saving potentialities from demand side, balancing load, easing contradictions of power structure, improving energy utilization rate, etc. have been important tasks in electric power enterprises. Based on this background, the paper designed and developed resources investigation and evaluation system of electric power DSM, which could investigate electricity resources of DSM of China, and implement energy-saving potential evaluation and energy efficiency analysis. From aspects of technology, economy, management, etc. suggestions were proposed for DSM, trying to be more rational and effective to allocate and use electricity resources, seeking satisfaction of power demands to the greatest degree, thus promote sustainable development of electric power enterprises effectively.
