Yeah, fair. And it varies by region. Point is that’s what it should be and it should take a week.

It's great that Commissioner Rosner is drawing awareness to this issue, as it is vital for grid planning too.
Given recent advances, we now have the tools to fix this problem, but we do not have the current business and policy incentives to do so.

For the current process, cleaning data between models and a lack of connectivity between them leads to 6 month studies.
For fully integrated T&D, LA100 took 4 years of data collection/cleaning, model connecting, and 4 weeks of running NRELs supercomputer flat out. We need this to get to a week…

Don’t get me wrong, big fan, pun intended. Great way to make least cost energy, not the best way to make dispatchable energy and capacity markets/RA need to land somewhere in the middle here in both directions.

I’m not a huge fan of the current 8 hour capacity accreditation. Just like I don’t think PJMs ELCC for gas takes into account gas transmission interdependencies very well (despite being lowered).
Basically, I think we need more than just staked Li+, so I’m curious on Jigar’s take.

Sure. This was pretty well forecasted too tho. Probably a mix of improvements and better planning. I still think more freak events and a lack of firm contracts leaves the system very exposed.

Why stop at stacking two Li+ batteries? Why not 12+ hours or more?
