2 Reference Info PIRP forecast specs Overview How PIRP Forecasts are produced Overview of PIRP 2007 Examples of 2007 PIR Data Quality and Forecast Performance Summary

3 PIRP Forecast Specifications Next Operating Hour Forecast (NOHF) Definition: Hour starting 2 hr 45 min after forecast delivery (essentially a 3 to 4 hr ahead forecast) Target Performance ly MAE < 12% of installed capacity ly Bias < 0.6% of monthly production Exceptional Performance ly MAE < 10% of installed capacity ly Bias < 0.1% of monthly production Next Day Forecast (NDF) Forecast delivered by 5:30 AM PT and covers all of the hours of the following calendar day Extended forecasts before weekends and holidays No performance criteria

4 How PIRP Forecasts are Produced

5 Forecast Bias Minimization Procedure PIRP power production forecasts are adjusted to minimize the monthly net deviation (I.e. the monthly forecast bias) External correction procedure is used Net Deviation (ND) is calculated from start of month: curren t hour ND = ( F i O i ) i=first hr of month Bias adjustment is calculated from ND for each forecast hour: F biasadj = F 0 C * ND Adjustment phased in between X th and 10th of month C = 0 from 1st to X th of month C linearly increases to max value from X th to 10th C remains at max value from 11th to end of month Hourly adjustment limited to the average magnitude of the MAE
