1. Key facts & figures of the electricity supply contract.
2. Present and future delivery points.
3. Forecasted electrical consumption.
4. Forecasting accuracy.
5. Routine forecasting, anticipated changes and peak power shaving
Important remark: The information and data reported in this presentation are preliminary and could be subject to change in the call for tender package.
• To supply the agreed electrical demand to the ITER Organisation’s construction site.
• To provide the service of Balance Responsibility Entity for the ITER Organization’s electrical load.
• The initial contract will be for 1 year with two options to extend the contract by a further year, giving a maximum total of 3 years for the duration of the contract.
Key facts and figures of the electricity supply contract
Pulsed Power Electrical Networkabout 500 MW peak pulseMain consumers:• Coil power converters• Radio Freq. and Neutral Beam systemsIncludes large Static Var Compensators
Steady State Electrical Networkabout 120 MW continuous powerMain consumers:• Cooling Water System• Cryoplant• Building services
ITER AC Power System consists of a continuous [steady state] and a pulsed parts:Steady State Electrical Network (SSEN) and Pulsed Power Electrical Network (PPEN)
In case it is economically viable for the ITER Organization:
• The ITER Organization can regularly communicate to the electricity supplier (example every month) the forecasted consumption. However, during the testing and commissioning phase, there could be up to 2-4 months uncertainty on the actual starting date of the consumption.
• The ITER Organization can promptly communicate to the electricity supplier any unexpected event (example a plant fault), which has a significant impact on the forecasted electricity consumption.
• The ITER Organization is interested in reward schemes for peak shaving capacity.
Routine forecasting, anticipated changes and peak power shaving
• Contracts scope includes both the supply of electricity and the service of Balance Responsibility Entity.
• The initial contract will be for 1 year with two options to extend the contract by a further year, giving a maximum total of 3 years for the duration of the contract.
• Although the forecasted consumption is relatively low (0.3 MW, 4 GWh/year), in 2018 is expected to increase up to (20 MW, 80 GWh/year).
• The electricity consumption will further increase during the following years (new call for tender will be launched).
• The variation of power (and energy) demand can be reasonably predicted. Vice versa, there are significant uncertainties on the start-up date of each main consumer.
• The ITER Organization can communicate to the electricity supplier (example every month) the forecasted consumption. There could be up to 3-4 months uncertainty on the actual starting date of the consumption.
• The ITER Organization is interested in reward schemes for peak shaving capacity.
