Abstract
This report addresses Hawaii electric system reliability issues; greater
emphasis is placed on short-term reliability but resource adequacy is reviewed in
reference to electric consumers' views of reliability "worth" and the reserve capacity
required to deliver that value. The report begins with a description of the Hawaii
electric system to the extent permitted by publicly available data. Electrical
engineering literature in the area of electric reliability is researched and briefly
reviewed. North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards and measures
for generation and transmission are reviewed and identified as to their
appropriateness for various portions of the electric grid and for application in Hawaii.
Analysis of frequency data supplied by the State of Hawaii Public Utilities
Commission is presented together with comparison and contrast of performance of
each of the systems for two years, 2010 and 2011. Literature tracing the development
of reliability economics is reviewed and referenced. A method is explained for
integrating system cost with outage cost to determine the optimal resource adequacy
given customers' views of the value contributed by reliable electric supply. The
report concludes with findings and recommendations for reliability in the State of
Hawaii.3
