• Key Messages

• Draft IRP 2018 is a very different plan to the Draft IRP 2016 and establishes solid principles

• VRE (PV and wind) with flexibility1 confirmed as least-cost energy mix as existing coal fleet decommissions;• This energy mix also exhibits the least CO2 emissions and least water usage

• Demand growth impacts the timing of new-build capacity but energy mix remains largely unchanged

• New-build coal only post-2030 if CO2 emissions are not too restrictive and new-build VRE is constrained

• New-build nuclear only post-2030 if CO2 emission are restrictive and new-build VRE is constrained

Key Messages

1 Natural gas fired peaking and mid-merit capacity considered as a proxy for this.

NG - Natural gas; PV – Solar Photovoltaics; VRE – Variable renewable energy; EAF – Energy Availability Factor; RoCoF – Rate of Change of Frequency

• To 2030 - outcomes similar across most scenarios but notable risks;• Eskom coal fleet EAF (and decommissioning schedule), completion of new-build coal, stationary storage and DSR

• No system integration issues foreseen pre-2030 but an informed and co-ordinated work program is necessary tosufficiently prepare for post-2030 relatively high VRE penetration levels

• Key Messages

• To 2030, in the Recommended Plan, expect net employment increase (as system grows) but net decrease in coal

• Natural gas risk relatively small and can be replaced by appropriate domestic flexibility sources or stationary storage

• Post 2030 - key drivers include VRE new build limits, decommissioning, demand growth, stationary storage

Key Messages

1 Natural gas fired peaking and mid-merit capacity considered as a proxy for this.

NG - Natural gas; PV – Solar Photovoltaics; VRE – Variable renewable energy; EAF – Energy Availability Factor; RoCoF – Rate of Change of Frequency

At a glance

Previous CSIR contributions have notably impacted and are mentioned throughout the Draft IRP 2018

• Demand forecast: CSIR (Built Environment) provide this as an input to DoE

• Principles raised by CSIR comments on Draft IRP 2016 have been explicitly considered

• These were: New-build limits removed (IRP1), RE costs aligned with REIPPPP, least-cost Base Case established

CSIR have engaged with key stakeholders in the 60 day public consultation period

• Bilateral engagements: DoE, SALGA, EIUG, Nersa, Eskom

• Attendance at IRP workshops: EE Publishers, FFF, NIASA (requested feedback)

• Tentative: Parliament Portfolio Committee (Energy)

Draft IRP 2018 scenario summaries – this is a very different plan to the Draft IRP 2016 and establishes solid principles

• Least-cost confirmed as combination of PV, wind and flexible capacity1 as coal decommissions – also exhibits lowest CO2 emissions and water usage by 2050

• Technology new-build limits (PV, wind) mean post-2030 deployment is constrained with new-build coal and gas replacing it (assuming less restrictive CO2 constraints)

• Higher NG price means less NG usage (notable capacity for system adequacy) and increased new-build coal

• More strict CO2 emissions (Carbon Budget) with RE new-build limits means less new-build coal and deployment of nuclear instead

• Higher NG price and more strict CO2 emissions (Carbon Budget) with RE new-build limits means less NG and coal, increased nuclear instead

• Higher/Lower demand forecast means same mix of new-build of PV, wind and flexibility1 just earlier/later

Jobs impact of Recommended Plan – reduced role of coal whilst growth in other sectors is expected

• If the Recommended Plan is implemented, there is an employment reduction expected in coal pre-2030

• Overall jobs grow as the power system grows – in solar PV, wind and gas sectors

• This transition needs sufficient preparation – our comments attempt to assist to quantify effects

Key energy planning risks – Existing fleet low EAF, stationary storage, DSR, further RE learning

• Existing fleet Low EAF: Earlier new-build (2023), outcomes return to IRP1 if low demand and low coal fleetperformance

• Storage: Decreasing stationary storage costs (batteries) results in deployment pre-2030, less NG usage andincreased solar PV

• DSR: A more responsive demand-side test via electric water heating and EVs delays some capacity investmentand deploys slightly more solar PV

• Further RE learning: Increased solar PV and wind post-2030 with timing pre-2030 unchanged, no import hydro

• A risk adjusted scenario: Combining storage, DSR and further RE learning results in increased new-build wind, PV,storage and further lower NG use

At a glance

Descriptive inputs/comments – new-build limits, NG import risk and embedded generation

• Technology new-build limits: Still unjustified, constant as power system grows, misaligned with international experience today

• Coal capacity: Investigations reveal that older existing coal capacity could be decommissioned earlier, parts of under construction capacity could be replaced by alternatives and it is not economically optimal to build new coal

• Natural gas import risk: Small role in energy mix (up to 5% pre-2030, 15% by 2050) - can be mitigated by range of domestic options (as well as stationary storage if costs decline)

• Embedded generation: Planning for this is not yet explicit and will need to change (implicit as negative demand)

• Demand profile will change further as different sectors grow, use energy differently and deploy EG for self-use

System services and technical considerations

• System adequacy consistent across all scenarios i.e. reserve requirements included

• System non-synchronous penetration: No barriers pre-2030. Only above 25% from 2028 and 37% by 2030 for 10% of the time but at above 80% by 2050 i.e. system integration focus becomes important post-2030

• A critical indicator (inertia): No barriers pre-2030. Post-2030 worst case mitigating solution cost is ≈1% of total system cost

• Evolution of other system services need to be investigated for post-2030 transition expected (reactive power and voltage control, system strength)

• Variable resource forecasting will become more important - SO should be equipped will relevant tools and skills

• Need to have transparency in input assumptions, model and outcomes comprehensively and consistently published

• Investigate and establish the need for annual technology new-build limits;• Remove annual new-build limits until further investigations establish the need for them

• Develop and implement an integrated program of work on long-term system integration topics i.e. stability, systemstrength, reactive power/voltage control (CSIR already initiated CIGRE WG including Eskom and international SOs)

• Better understanding the cost trajectory of all technologies for domestic application on a periodic basis

• Focussed consideration and investigation into domestic flexibility options

• Improved approaches to better understanding demand (sector shifts, load profile shape, price elasticity of demand)

• Optimise the existing coal fleet while remaining cognisant of opportunity cost of capital expenditure on older assets(retrofitting for improved reliability, efficiency and flexibility)

• Improvements for future IRPs

Going forward – Recommendations

• Inclusion of economic impacts of scenarios. At the very least – employment impacts

• Investigate approaches to include geospatial component of IRP – supply/network/demand (co-optimisation)

• Integrating national and local level energy planning for improved co-ordination and leveraging of opportunities

• Sector-coupling opportunities across the full energy sector (not just electricity)

• Further understanding just transition to address labour and socio-economic impacts in the energy sector

• Formally establishing a set of links/triggers between IRP and MTSAO processes (or equivalent)• Periodic updating of the IRP should be prioritised to address dynamic planning environment

• Long-term – structural and strategic

Going forward – Recommendations

• Further investigations into impacts/opportunities of new/emerging technologies e.g. stationary storage, EVs, DSR

Submitted to DoE on 25 October 2018

CSIR have analysed selected scenarios from Draft IRP 2018 using a transparent, well established and understood tool - iJEDI

The International Jobs and Economic Development Impacts (I-JEDI) model is a freelyavailable economic tool to understand economic changes (jobs focus at this stage) forenergy technology choices

I-JEDI has been customised for application to the South African environment by the CSIRteam

CSIR utilised the developed I-JEDI tool for South Africa to assess the Recommended Plan inthe Draft IRP 2018 for a range of technologies including wind, solar, coal and natural gas(for now)… more in future

High-level approach• I-JEDI estimates economic impacts by characterising construction and operation of

energy projects in terms of expenditures and portion of these made within thecountry (localised)

• These are then used in a country-specific input-output (I-O) model to estimateemployment (amongst a range of other metrics)

An indicative analysis of jobs in nuclear is also provided (but not based on I-JEDI for now)

Analysis of other Draft IRP 2018 scenarios as well as those presented by CSIR to come1

1 Time available was not not sufficient to do this in the 60 day public consultation period.

Electric vehicle usage for demand side flexibility i.e. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)

Inclusion of a demand side flexibility resource in the form of mobile storage (electric motor vehicles)demonstrates impact on the power system as adoption increases

Considered with similar functionality as that of Electric Water Heating (EWH) demand shaping - a resourcewith intra-day controllability (can be dispatched as needed on any given day) based on power systemneeds i.e. vehicle-to-grid (V2G)

Key input parameters to estimate potential demand shaping via electric motor vehicles:• Current population

• Expected population growth to 2050

• Current number of motor vehicles

• Expected motor vehicles per capita

• Adoption rate of electric vehicles to 2050

• Electric vehicle fleet capacity (MW)

• Electric vehicle energy requirement (GWh/d)

• Proportion of electric vehicle fleet connected simultaneously

Demand shaping as a demand side resource - domestic electric heaters (EWHs)

Many opportunities for demand shaping in a number of end-use sectors (domestic, commercial, industrial)

In the scenarios assessed by CSIR - the intention of including one particular demand shaping opportunity(domestic electric water heating) is to demonstrate the significant impact this can have on the power system.

Modelled as a resource with intra-day controllability (can be dispatched as needed on any given day) based onpower system needs

Key input parameters to estimate potential demand shaping via EWH:• South African population (to 2050)

• Number of households (current)

• Number of persons per household (future)

• EWHs (current)

• EWHs per household (future)

• Adoption rate of demand shaping via EWHs (future)

• Calibration for power (MW) and energy (TWh) used for electric water heating (existing)

• Movement to EWH technologies i.e. heat pumps vs electric geysers (future)

Total system cost: IRP1 with DSR marginal difference in total system cost relative to IRP1

Note: Average tariff projections (and resulting total system cost) consider an offset representative of Tx/Dx/Other costs to align with starting point of 0.84 ZAR/kWh (0.20 ZAR/kWh). From 2017 to 2018, immediate cost reflectivity is considered too (as in Draft IRP 2018) i.e. 0.21 ZAR/kWh offset.

Submitted to DoE on 25 October 2018Generally – additional EV demand met by least-cost mix of wind, solar PV and gas whilst V2G shifts this mix more towards solar PV and less gasImpact on least-cost capacity mix

EVs as a demand shaping resource(V2G i.e. implicit in demand)

• Increase in proportion of new solar PV vs. wind

• Less gas capacity i.e. lower gas energy share

• Relative reduction in total system cost

EVs typical configuration (G2V i.e. additional demand)

• For 1-mln EVs, increase of ≈3 TWh/yr

• For 1-mln EVs, increase ≈1 GW peak demand

• New build capacity to meet charging demand is

mostly wind, solar PV and gas

• Most charging demand met by wind and gas

Submitted to DoE on 25 October 2018

Draft IRP 2018 investigated implications of unconstrained least-cost (IRP1) but RE new-build limits are maintained for all other scenarios

“The scenario without new-build limits provides the least-cost option by 2030“ [DoE, Draft IRP 2018, pp. 34 of 75]

“Imposing new-build limits on RE will not affect the total installed capacity and the energy mix for the period up to 2030“

[DoE, Draft IRP 2018, pp. 34 of 75]

“The scenario without RE annual build limits provides the least-cost option by 2050“ [DoE, Draft IRP 2018, pp. 35 of 75]

“The scenario without RE annual build limits provides the least-cost electricity path to 2050“ [DoE, Draft IRP 2018, pp. 35 of 75]

Why new-build limits (on any technology – needs justification)?

Could be various reasons

• Import/transport link limitations (infrastructure – ports, roads)

• Industry ability to deliver (skills, development, construction)

• Available Tx/Dx networks to evacuate power

• System security/stability

Draft IRP 2018 RE annual new-build limits have thusfar not been justified

New-build limits on technologies means no more than these limits are allowed to be built in any given year

Limits have been applied to two technologies (others unlimited):

Solar PV

Wind

Limits are constant as power system grows

No justification provided for these limits

Should we freely optimise the decommissioning of the existing coal fleet or finish the last 2 units at Kusile?

Should we build new coal capacity in South Africa?

Should a freely optimised existing coal fleet be decommissioned any earlier/later?

Should the last 2 units at Kusile be completed in light of alternatives?

This has been studied in previous work

Lower demand forecast implies 3 things: Increased EE, fuel switching and... Embedded Generation – but how much?

”Due to the limited data at present and for the purpose of this IRP Update, these developments werenot modelled as standalone scenarios, but considered to be covered in the low-demand scenario. Theassumption was that the impact of these would be lower demand in relation to the median forecastdemand projection.”

[DoE, Draft IRP 2018, pp. 21 of 75]

In the Draft IRP 2018, it is clearly stated that the relative to the Median demand forecast, the Lower demand forecast is representative of a combination of:

Embedded Generation (likely mostly solar PV)

Energy efficiency (EE)

Fuel switching

Growth of embedded generation (EG) market being implicitly included can then be calculated based on:

Share of EG in the difference between Median and Lower demand forecasts

Almost all EG will likely be solar PV (with associated capacity factor)

Demand profile is assumed unchanged in Draft IRP 2018 – updated aproached to demand profile will need to be pursued in future

Demand profile will change as constituent components of the demand forecast change

Not just purely an energy demand forecast and fitted peak load (assuming similar demand profile)

Updated approaches will be required linking with EG to ensure sufficiently accurate capacity expansion

Good to include shallow grid connection costs explicitly in Draft IRP 2018 based on extensive grid planning experience at Eskom

Draft IRP 2018 includes collector network costs in the various Eskom Customer Load Networks (CLNs) as well as shallow grid connection costs for VRE (solar PV and wind) and all other technologies

This is a welcome inclusion and is a good starting point to start to incorporate technology specific network costs previously not considered

Good objectives:

• Avoid premature congestion at Eskom Main Transmission Substations (MTSs)

• Minimising absolute number of MTSs

• Connect more smaller VRE plants in a specific area

• Allow more orderly network development

and increased utilisation i.e. more efficient integration

Network costs based on unitised costing of individual equipment

Transmission substations, Satellite stations,

Transformers, Transmission/Distribution bays,

Overhead lines, Static VAr Compensators (SVCs)

Deep network costs are not included in Irp but covered as part of periodic and well established TDP and SGP developed by Eskom

Deep network costs (backbone strengthening) not included in Draft IRP 2018 (or any previous IRP iteration) but instead established based on periodic TDPs and SGPs developed by Eskom Grid Planning

What is most important is how these deep network costs change on a relative basis across scenarios

Generally, these costs do not change significantly across scenarios and thus would not materially impact least-cost outcomes

In future iterations of the IRP, there should be a

continued pursuit to include geospatial components

of supply, networks and demand side options

(co-optimisation) where feasible and tractable

Averaging window is important – for frequency stability typically a 500 ms averaging window for RoCoF is considered

Sources: EirGrid, SONI

The RocoF should not exceed a particular threshold within the pre-defined averaging window e.g. 500 ms

The demand for system inertia is driven by two assumptions: the maximum allowable RoCoF & the largest assumed system contingency

Key assumptions:

Maximum allowed 𝑅𝑜𝐶𝑜𝐹: 0.5 Hz/s

Largest contingency (𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡): 2 400 MW

Kinetic energy lost in contingency event 𝐸𝑘𝑖𝑛(𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.): 5 000 MWs

Term “inertia” is used a bit loosely to describe the amount of kinetic energy that is stored in the rotating masses of all synchronously connected power generators (and loads to be precise)

𝑓𝑛 = System frequency = 50 Hz

Sources: P. Kundur, Power System Stability and Control, 1994

Demand for inertia

𝐸𝑘𝑖𝑛.(𝑚𝑖𝑛) = 𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.𝑓𝑛

2(𝑅𝑜𝐶𝑜𝐹)+ 𝐸𝑘𝑖𝑛(𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.)

124 800 MW.s of system inertia are required at any given point in time in order for RoCoF to stay below 0.5 Hz/s in the first 500 ms after the largest system contingency occurred

As a starting point – we have assessed system inertia on an hourly basis via UCED in PLEXOS and some high level assumptions

Depending on what mix of power stations is operational at any given point in time, the total actual system inertia will be different

For example, if 20 GW of old coal, 10 GW of new coal and 2 GW of nuclear are online, system inertia is:

≈20 GW * 4 MWs/MVA +

10 GW * 2 MWs/MVA + 2 GW * 5 MWs/MVA

= 110 000 MWs

If wind, PV and 5 GW of CCGTs are online, system inertia is only 47 000 MW.s

Minimal cost of ensuring acceptable RoCoF levels even at very high non-synchronous generation penetration levels

The worst-case cost to ensure RoCoF levels are acceptable post-2030 is at most ≈1% of total system costs
