# Action Items from 4/30/03 SSG-WI-PWG Technical Support Group Meeting

(Action items in bold type were assigned after the meeting)

Mary Johannis

1)  Document generation and reserve margin assumptions for the 2008 and
    2013 cases.

2)  Identify potential improvements in how this information is gathered
    (i.e., how the questions are posed to the WECC members)

3)  Analyze the issue of hydro modeling and develop specific
    recommendations for how to model low, average, and high hydro
    conditions in the simulations. Document the methodology for the
    report.

4)  Develop the report outline and report writing schedule.

Dennis Phillips

1)  Examine the graphics in the WGA report and look for ways to improve
    them.

Jason Antonoff

1\) Develop wind generation assumptions for the 2013 case.

Marv Landauer

1)  Document the transmission addition assumptions for the 2008 and 2013
    cases

Donald Davies

1)  Work with the area coordinators to refine the projects that should
    be included in the case. Specifically, Donald will make sure that
    all of the proposed new lines have permits. Donald will also check
    for open lines that should be placed in service. **At the PWG
    meeting the next day, this action item was revised so that Donald
    would just ask for updates to the case and would not ask about
    whether the new facilities had permits. The criteria for new lines
    to have a permit before being added to the case was eliminated.**

2)  Provide seasonal OTC reports to Kurt to help develop nomograms

Chris Diebold

1)  Check on Miguel-Mission and provide modeling data if necessary.
    --Completed- Miguel-Mission #2 is not modeled in the case. SDG&E
    will need to decide whether this facility should be modeled in the
    2008 case and if so, provide that data to Donald Davies.

Jamie Austin

1)  Finalize the list of LMP buses for reporting. The list will include
    essentially all 345 kV and 500 kV buses and the lower voltage buses
    identified in the responses to Jamies e-mail. --Completed via
    Jamie's e-mail-

Doug Larsen and Cynthia Praul

1)  Will document the gas price forecast for the report. To be completed
    by June 1, 2003

2)  Cynthia will distribute CEC 2013 transmission plan for the west to
    the group.

Tom Foley (with advice from Doug Larsen)

1)  Document the approach used to address non-transmission alternatives
    and develop the results.

2)  Identify ways to approve our approach in the next study.

Jeff Miller

1)  Distribute graphics from CA-ISO Henwood LMP study to the group

2)  Help Jason get wind information.

Ali Amarili

1)  Begin to write a section of the report that describes the difference
    between the ABB simulations and actual power markets.

Kurt Granat and Rich Nixon

1)  Develop nomogram information for ABB Market Simulator program

2)  Finalize 2008 simulation

3)  **At the PWG meeting, the criteria for the new generation that will
    be included in the 2008 case was revised to include generating units
    well under construction in addition to the prior criteria of those
    units that will be on-line by 1/1/04. Kurt, as Chair of the
    generation subgroup, will need to work through the generation
    subgroup to identify the additional plants that should be included
    in the simulations.**

At the PWG meeting, Donald Davies and Phil Park were added to the
generation subgroup. This is intended to add Canadian representation and
to better coordinate the generation addition assumptions between SSG and
WECC

Transmission Subgroup -- Marv Landauer, Jeff Miller, Stan Gray, Jamie
Austin, Donald Davies, Ken Morris, Harlow Peterson, Bob Smith, Dennis
Phillips

Unassigned Open Items:

1)  **Need to examine constraints in getting the large pockets of
    generation that is developing, but not included in the 2008 case, to
    market. This may require additional simulations.**

2)  Need to discuss in the report how this effort will link with the
    individual IRP processes.
