ANNEXURE-I

Methodology of Preparation of Resource Adequacy Plan with constraints

After establishment of demand profile for all future years, the model would undertake an optimization exercise to minimize the total system cost to meet the future demand adhering to all power system parameters. Following constraints should be considered while modelling by the distribution licensee:

 Planning Reserve Margin/Resource Adequacy Requirement: The capacity credits for generating resources and demand response resources to meet the national peak shall be estimated by CEA. The capacity credits published by CEA for each resource type may differ between existing and new resources and between resources in different regions. For example, a solar based power plant in the Southern Region will have a capacity credit which could be different compared to a solar plant in the Northern Region. Similarly, an upcoming wind- based power plant could have a different capacity credit compared to an already commissioned wind plant in the same region. The distribution licensee shall use these capacity credits while planning to meet their RAR. For example, a distribution licensee having a PPA with an existing solar based power plant located in a southern State would use the capacity credit of existing solar based power plants in the Southern Region.

 Port folio balance constraints: The portfolio balance constraints shall ensure that the total generation and the import of power to the control area of Distribution licensee is equal to th esum of the demand, exports from the control area of Distribution licensees, any energy not served and curtailment, for each hour.

 RE Generation constraints: For renewable resources, such as solar and wind ,the RE generation constraints shall be constrained as per the hourly profile of the resource. Historic profiles of renewable sources shall be used to generate the hourly profiles. Additional constraints shall ensure that the distribution licensees overall renewable generation targets are met and included while formulating LT-DRAP.

 Conventional Generation constraints: Unlike solar and wind, thermal resources are dispatchable. However, the thermal resources ar bound by constraints such maximum and minimum generation limits, ramp rates, spinning reserve offers, plant availability and unit commitment decisions.

The dispatch (energy offer) plus there serve offer (specified through regulations) for each generator is constrained to be within the maximum and minimum generation limits.

Generation between two consecutive time blocks also must be within the ramping capabilities of the resources. Unit commitment decisions, such as start-up/shut-down, minimum up and down times, etc., require binary variables to implement and are to be included. Additionally, generation units mayhave periods of outages which may need to be captured by using an availability factor.

The capacity for each year needs to be tracked by a constraint which shall ensure that the capacity in a particular year is equal to the capacity last year plus any new capacity investment minus capacity retirement, if any.

 RPO constraints: Fulfilment of Renewable purchase obligation shall be considered as one of the objectives of Resource Adequacy. Technology options like renewable generation for round the clock energy supply backed with storage(Battery and PSP),stand alone renewable capacity along with hydro capacity for balancing renewable generation shall be considered while carrying out resource adequacy exercise.

 Storage constraints: Due to the intermittent nature of renewable generation, the need for resources which can store surplus energy and dispatch the stored energy during low RE periods becomes vital. Storage charge and discharge at any instant are constrained by the storage level or the state of charge (SoC) of the storage resource, and the maximum charge / discharge limit. The resource shall only discharge if there is sufficient energy present due to prior charging of the resource. To implement this, considering the chronological sequence of time is also important. Since storage resources convert electricity to other forms of energy, there are also some efficiency losses (round-trip efficiency) which shall be accounted for. Different technologies may have different discharge periods (energy limits), power outputs (maximum charge / discharge) and levels of efficiency.

 Operating (Spinning) Reserve constraints: Operating reserve constraints shall ensure that sufficient resources are in the system and kept online or on standby each hour to account for load forecast errors, intermittency of renewable sormeeting contingencies in the realtime.The thumb rule for operating reserve requirement shall be defined based on discussions withthe SLDC and shall be considered as an input parameter to the model.

 Demand Response: Potential for demand side management such as shiftingof loador demand response can be considered while undertaking the Resource Adequacy Plan13667 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 03 मार्च, 2025/12 फाल्गुन, 1946 (RAP). The constraints such as periods when load shifting can occur, and the maximum quantum of load which can be shifted over a period shall be included.
