Subject: NEA BESS Scenario Analysis
ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
The objective of this analysis is to quantify the potential benefits of using a Battery Energy Storage
System (BESS) to supplant the use of reserve spin. The specific quantities to be developed by this
analysis is the reduction in genset run -hour, reduction in fuel usage, and change in heat recovery
capability between two utility operating scenarios: the existing scenario where gensets are staged on
with one full genset of reserve spin, and a future scenario where there is no reserve spin (due to the
use of a future BESS).
ANALYSIS INPUTS
The inputs to this analysis are:
• CAT genset performance data
• Approximately 560 days of electronically logged power delivered to distribution.
The genset performance data for a CAT 3512B and a 3516 genset were used:

The last and third -to -last columns are calculated trivially from the other columns. Due to the limited
access to performance data, these two performance data sets were mapped to all of the existing
gensets as an approximation, even though each genset will have varying performance.
This data will be used as described later in the analysis.
The record data of power delivered to distribution is shown in excerpt below:

There are approximately 70,000 records, or 729 days of logged data. After filtering known bad data,
approximately 53,750 records, or 560 days, remain. After this, the data is re -averaged from 15-minute
windows to 6-hour windows. Due to the relatively consistent loading, this has minimal impact to the
analysis results.

The nameplate capacity is then modified by a preferred capacity %, which is the % load that the
operators prefer not to exceed for each given genset. This has minimal impact to the analysis results,
but helps the data better match the real -world conditions.

The gensets are then ordered by their stage order. This is the theoretical order that gensets are brought
online as the load increases. The order is approximate, as it can be varied by the operators for a variety
of reasons. The exact order will have minimal impact to the analysis results, but the staging order used
was created based on our best understanding of the operator's preferrences, and is held constant
across all records and scenarios to simplify the analysis. With the stage order developed, a capacity for
each stage is developed. This is the sum of preferred kW for all gensets operating in that staging
profile:

This setup so far is identical for both the existing and future scenarios, but this next step is what
separates the existing and future scenarios. The next step is to modify the stage capacity based on the
scenario requirements to represent the capacity available to handle the distribution load. Where reserve
spin is required, the stage kW previously calculated is modified by subtracting the largest single genset
from the stage MW. In simple terms, the stage and scenario capacities are as follows:
s
stage kWS = Z genset Pref kWi
i=1
scenario kW = stage kW - max(genset kW[1,...s])
Where s is the stage number, and subscript [1,... s] represents an array of gensets applicable to that
stage.

For the future scenario, where no spin is required, the only change required is with the scenario kW.
From before, the stage kW is calculated as:
S
stage kWS = Z genet pref kWi
i=1
While the scenario kW is calculated by removed the largest genset to account for spin:
scenario kWS = stage kWS - max(genset kW[1 s])
With the future scenario, the scenario kW does not have to be derated by the spin, and thus the full
genset capacity is available, and thus the scenario kW is simply the stage kW:
scenario kWS = stage kWS

At this point, we have set up our genset and staging information developed, and now we can turn our
attention to the record data. First, we calculate the number of generators needed to satisfy the load for
each record. This is performed by taking the record load and "climbing" up the stage order to find a
scenario kW capacity that will satisfy the record load.
Next, the load % is determined by taking the record load and dividing it by the stage kW. Note that by
determining the number of generators by the scenario kW, but determining the load by the stage kW,
we are accounting for the lower generator loading due to the spin requirements.

For each staged generator (i) and each record (k), the fuel used is calculated by the following:
genset GALik = GensetlnterpolateGPHperkWi(load%k * preferred%i) * load% * preferred kW * hours
Where Gensetlnterpolate GPHperkWi is a custom function that interpolates the genset performance
data based on the prime loading (load❑/ok * preferred%i) and provides the fuel performance in units of
GPH of fuel per kW. This is then multiplied by the prime load (load❑/o * preferred kW.) to get GPH
consumption of the genset at that record, and then multiplied by the record hours (hours k) to get the
total gallons of fuel consumed during that record period.
Between the existing and future scenarios, the calculations are the same, but the results change due to
the difference in scenario kW between the two scenarios. See the following calculation excerpt for
reference (records start on row 13; existing scenario are in columns E-J, and the future scenario are in
columns W through AB):

(spreadsheet excerpt hiding all but the first 5 gensets and the first two records)
Note how for the same record, the existing scenario has more operating gensets at a lower, less
efficient, loading, whereas the future scenario has fewer gensets more efficiently loaded, due to the
removal of spin requirements allowed by the BESS.
The remaining calculations for run hours or heat rejection simply require replacing the genset GAL i,k
calculation with the alternate calculations for run hours and heat rejection
To develop per -month totals, the fuel consumption can be summed across the gensets by record, and
then this subtotal can be summed across all records filtered by month. Due to the records representing
more than one year, the resulting total represents more than one month of data. Thus the total is made
uniform by multiplying by the ratio of the number of annual hours in the subject month to the sum of the
record hours in the subject month. Eg, if the total gallons of fuel for all records in January was
calculated as 51,858 gal, and the record data represented 1,488 hours of data for January, the 51,858
gal would be multiplied by the ratio of the number of annual hours in January (31 days * 24 hours = 744
hours) to the records hours:
Jan fuel consumption = calculated record gallons * annual Jan hours / recorded Jan hours
Jan fuel consumption = 51, 858 gal * 744 hours/1, 488 hours = 26, 793 gal
The remaining calculations simply require replacing the genset GALik calculation with the alternate
calculations for run hours and heat rejection.
