1 Spatial Electric Load Analysis for Substation Siting and Load Balancing At United Power, the engineering and GIS groups were tasked with answering the following question, Will we have the infrastructure to support future demand in 5 or 10 years? We turned to spatial technologies to provide management with an accurate and detailed GIS-generated load density forecast. Demand and energy readings from CIS were integrated with GIS to produce base grids for summer and winter peaks. The analysts combined base load grids with 2 forecast sources to produce long-range forecast raster grids. The complex analysis process was performed with multiple Model Builder models for consistency and repeatability. ESRI s Spatial Analyst extension performed raster analysis. By maintaining a spatial history of power consumption, accurate data is readily available for a plethora of statistical studies and testing whatif scenarios. Using GIS technologies for planning purposes increases forecast accuracy and efficiency and creates a roadmap for future land and ROW acquisitions.

3 Today s agenda Who we are Long range forecast goals Spatial load analysis basics Components of spatial load forecasting Load center prediction Results and looking ahead

4 United Power Facts Rural electric cooperative headquartered in Brighton, CO Incorporated in October of 1938 Wires hot in 1940 to 750 customers Nearly 65,000 customers today covering 900 square miles Historically fast growing up to 5000 new accounts per year Among the top 10 fastest growing coops nationwide

5 Long range forecast goals and tasks Spatially project coincidental peak load over the next 10 years Define substation influence areas Forecast and locate future load centers for substation placement Determine substation transformer upgrades Update every 3 years modular)

6 What is spatial load analysis? A process of looking at historical electric power consumption with a spatial e.g. mapping) component Seasonal peak focus Demand kw) or energy kwh) Typically includes forecasting for substation siting Change detection analysis Temporal study Used to optimize current electric distribution system
