Regional Electricity and Renewable
Integration: Benefits of Hydropower
Reservoirs
Tuesday, June 20th 2017 / 4:00 - 5:30 pm
40th IAEE International Conference
Concurrent Session 33. Energy and Water
Orchid: 4206 & 4306
with Sébastien DebiaLéonard LangloisSylvain Perron

Outline
1.The Electricity Challenge & New York
Case
2.Regional Electricity Models
3.Our Model
4.Results: Gains from Regional Integration
5
Reduction Opportunities for the
Electricity Sector (from the IPCC)
• Increased Efficiency of Power Plants and Fuel
Switching
• Renewable Energy
• Increased Energy Efficiency (end-use)
• Nuclear Energy
• Carbon Capture Sequestration and Storage
… but not regional integration!

Integrating Thermal and Hydro Electricity
Markets: Economic and Environmental Costs of
not Harmonizing Pricing Rules

New York’s REV
• “50% of electricity consumed in New York to come
from renewable sources” (https://rev.ny.gov/)
• “50% of energy generation from renewable energy
sources” (https://energyplan.ny.gov/)

3. OUR MODEL
Renewable Integration and
Storage Assessment – RISA(Based on Tapia-Ahumada et al. 2015)
13
Capacity expansion model (LP)
•Regional electricity model (Quebec – New York)
•Hourly loads and generation (2015-2030)
•Water storage
•Transmission
•Objective:
MINIMIZE investment and operations costs to
supply demand
s.t. operational constraints (reliability, security of
supply, start-up, water management)
14
15
Scenarios
• RISA1: “BAU” no renewable energy constraint
• RISA2: 50% renewable generation in NY by 2030
• RISA5: Quebec imports count as renewable (no new transmission)
• RISA6: RISA5 + new transmission possible
