Abstract :
This paper presents updated results from a Monte Carlo simulation method of operational needs created by variable generation renewables coupled with a Production Simulation methodology to assess whether the California ISO´s existing generation fleet can provide the needed flexibility for ramping, load following and Regulation under a 20% Renewable Portfolio Standard. The production simulation methodology utilizes stochastic simulations of load and wind forecast errors and covers a wide range of operating scenarios.
