Conversion Rates
3
• Natural gas is measured by volume or heating value. The standard measure of heating value in the English system of units is millions of British thermal units or “MMBtu.” Dekatherms (Dth) are also a standard unit of measurement within the natural gas industry. One million Btus equals one Dekatherm (1 MMBtu = 1 Dth).
• The standard measure of gas volume in the English system of units is standard cubic feet or “scf.” The “s” for standard is typically omitted in expressing gas volume in cubic feet. Therefore “scf” is typically short formed to “cf.” Because the heating value of natural gas is not uniform across production areas, there is no one fixed conversion rate between gas volume and heating value. Pipeline gas in North America usually has a heating value reasonably close to 1,000 Btu/cf. Therefore, for discussion purposes, one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) is roughly equivalent to one million Btu (MMBtu).
1 Mcf ≈ 1 MMBtu = 1 Dth 1 Bcf = 1,000 MMcf ≈ 106MMBtu = 106 Dth

Metrics Assumptions
7
• Local (Gas) Distribution Company (LDC) natural gas demand – Met by firm supply and firm pipeline transportation, augmented by
satellite LNG and propane-air facilities – Prohibited by their state Tariffs to sell their gas to power generators
• Power generation natural gas demand – Met through non-firm (interruptible) supply and pipeline contracts – Subordinate entitlements compared to gas LDCs
ISO-NE PUBLIC
Two Metrics
8
• Using the 2016 Economic Study results quantify the following two metrics for both the constrained and unconstrained electric transmission cases: 1. Natural gas pipeline capacity analysis to meet 2016 Economic Study, installed gas-fired capacity requirements
– Identify served and unserved gas-fired capacity amounts
2. Natural gas pipeline energy analysis to meet 2016 Economic Study power generation (fuel) requirements
– Power generation gas demands by individual pipeline and integrated gas-system
– Served and unserved gas-fired energy amounts – Frequency of unserved energy amounts

Unserved Generation - Background
10
• If total New England gas demand, from both gas utilities and power generation, is greater than the capacity of the future gas-grid, there will be unserved gas-fired generation
• For this analysis, unserved gas-fired generation results in the electric system operating at higher costs due to the need for mitigation measures to ensure system reliability. It is not synonymous with curtailment of firm electric service
• All gas to electrical equivalents are calculated at an assumed future, average fleet heat-rate of 7,000 Btu/kWhr

The Reason to Model Six Natural Gas Topologies
16
• The most important variables to determine “unserved generation” is the amount of pipeline capacity and energy available for power generation
• Six gas-system topology cases will be developed to bookend this analysis, to determine the range of pipeline capacity and energy available for power generation – The six gas-system topology cases encompass the various combinations of
capacity/supply options regarding pipelines, LNG supplies, LDC peak-shaving, expansion projects, and LDC demand

How Much Capacity and Energy Can 1 Billion Cubic Feet/Day (Bcf/d) of Natural Gas Fuel?
76
• Assume a future, average fleet heat-rate of 7,000 Btu/kWhr
• Determine the 24 hour Capacity (MW) and Energy (MWhr) equivalent of 1.0 Bcf/d of natural gas:
((1.0 Bcf/day) / 24 hr /day) / 7,000 Btu/kWhr
((1.0 X 1012 Btu/day) / 24 hr/day) / 7,000 Btu/kWhr
41,667 X 106 Btu X 1 kWhr hr 7,000 Btu
41,667 X 106 = 41,667 X 103 kW 7,000 7
= 5,952,429 kW or 5,952 MW (Capacity) 5,952 MW * 24 hr = 142,858 MWhr (Energy)
