Modeling Subcommittee and Its Associated Work Groups - Informed or Consulted Product Description Procedural Steps (URL if available) MS MVWG PMWG Anchor Data Set Process Guide Quick reference guide for the ADS process. (Links to DDVM and DPM) C C C Production Cost (PCM) Data (included in the ADS) Interconnection-wide PCM data for a Year 10 case (8760 hours). This includes information such as start up times, ramp rates, capital costs, variable O&M costs, fuel and emission rates, wind and solar profiles, hydro profiles, heat rates, gen maintenance schedules. I C Data Development and Validation Manual (DDVM) Data collection and vetting proccesses and assumptions used to develop the PCM datasets. C C Data Preparation Manual (Power Flow and Dynamics) Data requirements and reporting procedures necessary for Data Submitters to support creation of Interconnection-wide cases. I 1 through base case data collection Interconnection-wide 1 to 10 year power flow and dynamics stability base cases developed through the annual base case compilation schedule. I Base Case Compilation Schedule Annual base case compilation schedule with case descriptions (biennially includes ADS PF/DYN case). I I Base case compilation and data Process to develop base cases, perform data checks and create reports of steady-state and dynamics data issues I
(biennially includes ADS PF case). Capital Cost Calculator for Transmission and Generation Model specifications (and guidelines) to calculate capital costs used in the Year 20 and 10 studies. C L&R Data Requests Request and collection of the loads and resources data used for the Power Supply Assessment to meet a NERC requirement. I Round-trip Cases (data validation) Exported hour from a PCM case to be solved as a power flow case representing one hour from the PCM modeling program for data validation. I C Node-Breaker Planning Model This effort is to move towards a node-breaker planning model, which has more detail than the bus-branch model. C C C Standards (and regional criteria) development related to planning functions Development of standards, ultimately to be approved by NERC, to direct compliance with operational and/or planning functions. C Program enhancements and interoperability Reccommendations for software enhancements and interaction between programs. (Issue Dependent, the group initiating the recommendation will be Responsible, parent subcommittee will be Accountable) C C C C models and data Model and Data required for short-circuit current calculations. The process of requesting and compiling data C C
and operational uncertainty as mandated by NERC. Integrated Reliability Assessment Report Formerly ITRA (Integrated Transmission & Resource Assessment). IRAR is an annual summary of analytical activities completed during the year. This is produced by WECC that includes work undertaken independently by WECC. C Reliability Impact Analyses Special-topic reliability assessments to address specific reliability concerns. C Project Portal A WECC web page with graphical and tabular descriptions of transmission enhancement projects in various stages of development within the Western Interconnection.
