Modeling and Analyses
In individual power plant and transmission line siting cases under Articles VII, X, SEQRA and Section 68 of the Public Service Law, as well as NYPSC planning cases such as the Renewable Portfolio Standard proceeding, we have worked closely with the General Electric Multi-Area Production Simulation Model and other simulation analyses of the New York Electric System. During the implementation of PURPA, we worked with many models including PROMOD, in the determination of electric production avoided costs. We have worked with the consultants preparing the inputs to the model including key assumptions about generation and transmission resources. On behalf of clients we have sponsored witnesses on the model’s results and cross-examined witnesses extensively on their model simulation results.
