Walking - Short Term Revisions to Valuation of DER
Focus on granularity and visibility.
Methodology Outline:
1) Reduce friction by leveraging existing platforms
January 2015 deliverables?
2) Publicly available inputs, assumptions
Preference for public prices, etc. – there is not time for anything else.
3) Geospatial quantification
Ability to differentiate between the value of the same resource in two locations.
4) Circuit level granularity, where possible; substation where not
Combination of feeder and busbar granularity
5) Integrate of bulk power system and end user customer market signals
Opex reduction, Capex avoidance, DR benefits, reliability improvement, etc.
6) Start to include a more comprehensive set of benefits
Societal, environmental, health, jobs, etc.

Integrate Disparate Elements
Existing Avoided Cost tool has serious limitations
Static & blunt, but pervasive
Inadequate, but familiar
New valuation options are difficult to implement in a quickly
e.g. Jobs benefits are likely to be highly contentious
Policy makers need a tool to compare across alternatives
e.g. Is a dollar spent avoiding a capacitor bank on one substation more valuable than load
reduction elsewhere?

How Then to Bring the Pieces Together?
We propose to modify the RMI/E3 DERACT as the
basis for AB 327 DRP evaluation by:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Increasing the geographic granularity
Adding additional benefit cost data
Improving ease of use, accuracy, visibility, and speed
Providing a framework for developing Jog and Run phase tools
Establishing a mechanism for signaling probable evaluation mechanisms to
other PUC proceedings

Low Hanging Fruit for Localized Valuation Improvements
e.g. LMP Node Level analysis
is currently integrated for EE
avoided cost and various DER
investment

…And the Expansion of New Cost Categories
e.g. Air quality geographies
are known and market prices
are transparent

Allowing Us to Leverage Multiple Datasets into a New Avoided Cost Tool
Initial incorporation of RMI/E3
DERACT completed. Next steps
include sample data integration

Leveraging the Familiar : Improved Granularity and Transparency
Combining OpEx vs. CapEx breakdown, cost/benefit product, avoided cost tool (if applicable), geography and data source
