Q for power system modeling nerds: does a forced outraged adjustment to calculate UCAP inherently assume that generator outages are 1) equally likely over time and 2) of equal magnitude? Is there anywhere that UCAP is adjusted based on weather covariates, at least for planning?
And for that matter, would an ELCC calculation capture the relative impacts on one resource type having many units of same type with outages? Or does Elcc necessarily focus on a single unit and assume the rest of the portfolio is stable?
13 minutes into my daughter's virtual 1st grade. We are still working on everyone muting and unmuting themselves effectively. Going to livetweet today's session to give folks a view into what this looks like...
As the teacher goes one by one calling on students to say their favorite animal (7 min for 16 kids), intense fidgeting and easy disengagement. Kiddo runs off camera, I remind her to stay on camera.
The teacher asks students to write a sentence. Kiddo is distracted when this occurs so doesn't know what's happening. She raises her hand to speak. But it's MS Teams which only shows 9 video tiles, so teacher can't see everyone and thus can't see kiddo's raised hand
A thread on the issues in the order and some observations 1/
First, FERC approves the basic premise of MISO's SATOA, noting it as an extenstion of the Western Grid precedent that established storage-as-Tx. No real suprise there, other than that it re-affirms the distinction from NTAs 2/
FERC approves MISO's requirement only TOs may own SATOA, since MISO functional control depends on a Tx Owners Agreement; this seems to eliminate the possibility of a TO contracting for a SATOA asset, and thus would require non-TOs to become merchant TOs to offer SATOA 3/
