Benefits from Powerex Participation Sample Clauses

Benefits from Powerex Participation. Powerex’s participation will enhance the existing EIM, which continues to expand.19 Powerex is bringing clean, fast-ramping, flexible hydroelectric generation capability that will broaden and strengthen EIM supply options to meet generation and load imbalances in the EIM area. This additional clean, flexible energy supply will also support greater efficiency in balancing demand, integrating renewable resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Powerex is also bringing transmission rights to support EIM transfers to/from British Columbia, which will increase the transfer capability between EIM entities and the CAISO. This transfer capability includes dynamic scheduling rights to and from the CAISO; an insufficiency of dynamic scheduling rights can often be a limitation on the amount of energy transfers in the EIM. The CAISO has noted a correlation between the increase in transfer capability and the increase in EIM benefits. The CAISO therefore expects that the transmission rights Powerex makes available will increase the EIM benefits overall. In addition, Powerex brings additional diversity to the EIM with BC Hydro deviations in generation and load from base schedules included in the EIM optimization processes, all of which Powerex will settle. The load and wind deviations in British Columbia will be significantly diverse compared to the load and wind deviations in the EIM area due to differences in the weather patterns and peak times. Also, the EIM will permit surplus energy in the U.S. to be delivered dynamically into British Columbia for the first time, which will enable Powerex to utilize the residual storage capability of the BC Hydro system, helping mitigate generation curtailment in the EIM area during periods of oversupply. Powerex benefits from the ability to use residual intra-hour balancing capability of the BC Hydro system that is currently unavailable to support Powerex’s hourly transactions. This is because BC Hydro currently uses this intra-hour balancing capability to respond to intra-hour variations in load and generation in its balancing authority area only. Powerex estimates this held back capability to be 300 MW of incremental capacity and 300 MW of decremental capacity, on average. The EIM design enables Powerex to utilize this capability to the extent that it is not needed to respond to variations in the BC Hydro balancing authority area in any interval. Although Powerex’s participation levels may change hour-to-hour and over tim...
