Using Five-Minute Data to Allocate Load-Following and Regulation Requirements Among Individual Customers

摘要

In an earlier project, we analyzed data on total system load and the loads of eight large industrial customers in terms of system- and customer-specific requirements for the regulation and load-following ancillary services. The current project analyzes the feasibility of using 5-min revenue meter (RM) data to allocate load-following and regulation requirements among retail customers. The reason for examining 5-min data is that supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data, which are available every 4 s, are collected for only eight of this control area's very largest industrial customers. On the other hand, this control area collects 5-min RM data for about 600 customers.
