Access and Connection processes for Renewable Units: Experiences from Red Eléctrica de España Istambul March 2011
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Recent modifications of regulation for Special Regime Generation (SRG) Recently, National regulation oriented to control of generation to be connected per year, securing economic and technical sustainability q RD 1578/2008 for Solar FV, extending RD 661 objectives with quotas of 500 -400 MW per year with progressive reduction of tariffs emphasis on roof plants over floor plants q RDL 6/2009 for the rest of SRG, establishing quotas per year for plants to be commissioned (upto ≈ 2, 5 GW Solar Thermal in 2013; upto ≈ 23 GW Wind in 2012), demonstrating some pre-requisites: m Access and connection authorization issued by REE or distribution company m Administrative authorization for power plants > 100 k. W m License for Commissioning m Deposit of a bank guarantee (for wind: 20€/k. W; for Solar Thermal: 100€/k. W) m Financial resources at least for 50% of the total m Purchase -or contract- at least for 50% of the equipment m Authorisation for gas access and water supply (when applicable)
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Development and Access to the Network Capacity of the Transmission Network for Generators: General: No grid capacity reserve or preference derives from temporal precedence. Possible production constraints are to be solved by market mechanisms Ø No connection limitation: Newcomers may degrade the production possibilities of existing or previously foreseen L Less barriers but more uncertainty tendency to overinstallation Special Regime Generation ¡ Priority at dispatch, subject to system security operation risk ¡ Congestions motivate system development ineffective planning ØConnection limitation according to zonal studies from OS 3
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Network Access and Connection: Transmission grid development implications from RES units q q Number of Access applications very transmission nodes evacuation capacity over some Regional limits for installing new generation Wind farms building time much shorter than needed for network developments necessary for connection Permissions for new generation (via Regional Administration) easier to get than network reinforcement ones
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Interaction between Grid Planning and Access to the grid applications Grid Planning Access to the grid • REE carries out planning studies and proposals Regulated continuous process • National Goverment (with Regional Administrations): by approve the grid development plan acceptability • Every 4 years, new planning horizon (10 years) Binding (unlike indicative planning for generation) which REE transmission assess of the non- facilities applications Studies for SRG Integration The actual development of the grid (authorization, construction and commissioning) takes from 1 to more than 10 years q 5
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA SRG Integration Studies A new perspective is introduced From ¿What capacity of integration ? To ¿Which conditions and requisites Regulation Proposals would be needed to maximize secure integration of SRG (RES) and achieve the foreseen objectives? Bulk System or Coverage Studies (Single Bus System Adequacy Studies) Grid Studies Estimation of Operation Conditions Zonal connection capacity in MW 6
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Capacity Studies q Assessment of generation limits to preserve adequacy and security of power system, according to planning and operation criteria, applied to an horizon within the current medium term grid development plan m Adequacy: Assessment of generation limits by nodes and zones, reflecting structural grid capacity Steady State Behaviour (load flow contingency analysis) Short-circuit power (5% Scc, for non dispatchable fluctuant generation) m Security: Validation of previously concluded limits by nodes and zones Dynamic behaviour (stability after short-circuit) m Design criteria: buses with sufficient meshing, minimum magnitud for generation, …. . 7
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Development and Access to the Network for Renewable Generators (RES): Connection Capacity Preserving the security of supply requires to avoid persistent constraints from RES units in order to: Limit the operational risk associated to the solution of constraints and the security guarantee, specially considering the dispatch priority Ø Ø Enable a coherent and efficient grid development This calls for establishing connection capacities by zone associated to grid development plans which may avoid permanent constraints Ø 8
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Access and Connection : Overview q Procedures for Access and connection are managed by REE, as System Operator and Transmission owner. Main Features: Main Perspective Object - Scope Access System Operation System behaviour Connection Transmission Engineering and Physical Feasibility Connection Contract (CC) Ø REE carries out capacity studies at nodal and regional levels Capacity of Connection Ø Regional Administrations identify Coordinator (C) and generators Ø C accomplish Access and Connection Procedures Connection Authorisation Ø Connection Authorisation enables Administrative Authorisation Ø Administrative Authorisation enables Connection Contract with Transco q Administrative process (*) different according to Regions q Recently, new national regulation oriented to control of generation to be connected per year, securing economic and technical sustainability (National Administration) 9

RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Access approach for special generation Ø REE carries out Regional studies assessing capacity connection for generation (depending on energy source and technology), which are sent and presented to Regional Adm. Ø Individual Applications: Access reply is informative not valid for connection procedure Ø Regional Adm. Identify (*) generators according and nominates Coordinator Ø Coordinator submits access application with the aggregation of individual plants sharing connection point and facilities Ø REE replies according to the Regional study, accomplishing access procedure and enabling to start and accomplish connection procedure: Connection Authorisation Ø Connection Authorisation enables Administrative Authorisation Ø Administrative Authorisation enables Access Technical Contract with Transco Ø Administrative process (*) different according to Region 11

RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Grid development WIND POWER: High presence in transmission (>60%, contrary to other systems with high penetration) and expected to increase NºNodes. Rd. T 220 & 400 k. V Today 49 Future > 100 SOLAR POWER: TS. - Majoritary in transmission (≈ 80%) FV. - Minoritary in transmission(≈ 5% of existing; few new plans) 13
RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA Main challenges: Grid Development n RES generation does not avoid distribution grid but requires transmission expansion, where the majority of Wind Power (>60%) and Solar Thermal (>80%) is expected. RES is a relevant motivation in the current Plan: n new lines and reinforcements for avoiding constrains operation n facilities associated to physical connection OH Circuit [km] UG Cables [km] Uprating lines [km] SS [nº bays *] Transformers [MVA] Reactors [Mvar] Capacitors [Mvar] 12. 270 386 8. 308 3. 476 52. 450 2. 800 1. 100 New substations and bays: Some 100 buses in 220 k.
