  2. The Energy Centre and PRISM About the Energy Centre at University of Auckland – Goal is to provide national research leadership on energy systems and issues. – An interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach to NZ energy priorities – Housed in economics department, the team comprises faculty, PhDs, post docs and visiting professors and fellows. – Executive Director is Robert Kirkpatrick Launching Research Topic: The Electricity Sector – Understand the risks of alternative future electricity scenarios – Grid critical to understanding => needed spatial model Collaboration with EPOC – Spatial and stochastic attributes of PRISM well suited – Joint development of an excel-based interface for PRISM – Energy Centre responsible for the analysis and interpretation of output E NERGY 3 C ENTRE The Energy Centre & Prism (cont) A tool to understand system. – Dynamics of the system – variability and constraints – How future investment affects which constraints become binding – How these changes might impact price pressure and profitability – Inform thinking on implications, or possible reactions A tool to analyse future developments – Grid upgrades, using the 18 nodes of the model – Wind Penetration -> relation to transmission and hydro storage. – Energy price escalation -> stochastic treatment of fuel price, CO2 charge, NZ$ Important to recognise limitations – Spot market analysis in general. • Spot offers and prices are driven heavily by the contract position and operational factors, rather than simple costs. – PRISM-specific limitations • Historically based offers. Hydro offers & thermal offers we use reflect market conditions of the period during which they were sampled. Offer strategies will change with evolving market structure and power. • Simple for period analysis • No feedback loops. Neither investment decisions nor offer strategies are related to evolving market structure or the electricity price. E NERGY 4 C ENTRE 2

  4. Run PRISM Run it for… 20 years, 4 periods/yr, 50+ samples/period E NERGY 7 C ENTRE Outputs from each snapshots Output from each run – Demand, by node – Price, by node – Dispatch, by station Calculations done on this for a given period – Average prices, standard deviations of prices and probability distributions of prices and dispatch – Emissions – Costs to consumers (price at offtake node x nodal demand), – Revenue to generator (price at dispatch node x dispatch quantity) E NERGY 8 C ENTRE 4

  5. Annual figures derived from the snapshots Extrapolating annual figures from 4 periods… – Take energy use over a year, and in weeks of a season, and compared to peak and off-peak demand during those times, using July ’04 and Jan ’05 data. – Annual factors come out as: • Winter Peak represents 37.5% of annual energy use • Winter Off-peak: 29.5% • Summer Peak: 19.1 • Summer Off Peak: 13.9% – combined with probability of dry yr, normal yr, wet yr Allows calculation of: – Average prices & dispatch over the year – Standard deviation for the year – Annual consumer cost & generator net revenue (ie include fixed & variable costs) – Annual emissions Warning: – Treat with caution in absolute terms, but interesting for comparisons – Further calibration still required to test across years E NERGY 9 C ENTRE PRISM output compares with real prices Real NZ spot market Actual Price for Otahuhu - April-Jul 2003 – Shows several price bands, rather than normal distribution… 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180 195 210 225 240 255 270 285 300 315 330 345 360 375 390 405 420 435 450 465 480 495 510 Generally, PRISM appears to match bands – $40-100…Spare capacity PRISM Price for Otahuhu - Winter 2006 Thermals setting price (most off peaks) – $150-200…Scarce capacity.
