Neil Etter, ulawulo igumbi opharetha kwi Tucson Power kaThixo H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station.
I-Tucson Power ithe inamandla aneleyo okuhlangabezana neencopho ezilindelekileyo zemfuno ephezulu kunye nokugcina ii-air conditioners zincwina kweli hlobo.
Kodwa ngokutshintsha ukusuka kwizityalo ezibaswe ngamalahle ukuya kwimithombo yelanga kunye nomoya, amaqondo obushushu ehlobo agqithisileyo kunye nentengiso yamandla aqina entshona, izicwangciso zokuthintela ukuphuma zisiya ziba nzima, i-TEP kunye nezinye izinto eziluncedo zixelele abalawuli baseburhulumenteni kwiveki ephelileyo. .
Ngokutsho kophononongo olutsha oluxhaswe yi-TEP kunye nezinye i-Southwest utilities, ngo-2025, ukuba zonke iiprojekthi zamandla avuselelekayo ezicwangcisiweyo zaseMzantsi-ntshona azigqitywanga ngexesha, aziyi kukwazi ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo yombane.
Kwi-workshop ye-Arizona Corporation yeKomishoni yokulungela ihlobo kwiveki ephelileyo, amagosa avela kwi-TEP kunye nodade osebenza emaphandleni we-UniSource Energy Services bathi banomthamo owaneleyo wokuvelisa ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ephezulu yasehlotyeni elindeleke ukuba idlule kumanqanaba e-2021.
"Sinonikezelo lwamandla olwaneleyo kwaye siziva sikulungele ukufudumala kwehlobo kunye nemfuno ephezulu yamandla," kusho isithethi seTEP uJoe Barrios. "Nangona kunjalo, siza kubeka iliso elibukhali kwimozulu kunye nemarike yethu yamandla engingqi, sinezicwangciso zokuhlangabezana nemeko engxamisekileyo."
I-Arizona Public Service, eyona nto inkulu yombane yelizwe, iProjekthi yeSalt River ezilawulayo kunye ne-Arizona Electric Cooperative, enika amandla amaqumrhu ombane ombane asemaphandleni, baxelele abalawuli ukuba banamandla aneleyo alungele ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezilindelekileyo zasehlotyeni.
Ukuthembeka kwehlobo kuye kwaba yinkxalabo enkulu ukususela ngo-Agasti ka-2020, xa ukunqongophala kwamandla ngexesha lokufudumala kwembali yaseNtshona kwabangela ukuba abaqhubi benkqubo yokuhanjiswa kweCalifornia basebenzise ukucima ukucima ukunqanda ukuwa kwenkqubo yonke.
I-Arizona ikwazile ukunqanda ukucima ngokuyinxenye kunye neenkqubo zokuphendula imfuno kunye neenzame zokukhusela abathengi, kodwa abarhafi baseburhulumenteni bathwala iindleko zokunyuka kwamaxabiso ombane wengingqi ngexesha lobunzima.
Kuwo wonke ummandla, ukucwangciswa kwezibonelelo kuye kwaba nzima kakhulu ngenxa yokushisa okukhulu kwehlobo kunye nesomiso, izithintelo ekungenisweni kombane waseCalifornia, ukubonelela ngeentambo kunye nezinye izinto ezichaphazela iiprojekthi zelanga kunye nokugcinwa kwelanga, u-Lee Alter, umlawuli wesicwangciso semithombo ye-TEP kunye ne-UES, uxelele abalawuli. .
Ngokusekwe kwimfuno ebonisa i-avareji yobushushu basehlotyeni, usetyenziso luya kungena ehlotyeni kunye nomda wogcino olupheleleyo (oluvelisa ngaphezu kwemfuno yoqikelelo) lwe-16%, utshilo uAlter.
IGcisa uDarrell Neil usebenza kwenye yeeholo zeH. Wilson Sundt Power Station eTucson, enezindlu ezintlanu zeTEP's 10 ezibuyisela iinjini zokutsha zangaphakathi.
Imida ebekiweyo ibonelela ngezinto eziluncedo ngesithinteli ngokuchasene nemfuno ephezulu kuneyo ibilindelekile evela kwimozulu embi kakhulu kunye nokuphazamiseka kobonelelo, okufana nokuvalwa kweplanti yamandla okungacwangciswanga okanye umonakalo womlilo wasendle kwiintambo zothumelo.
IBhodi yoLungelelaniso lwaMandla oMbane waseNtshona yathi i-margin yokugcina i-16 yeepesenti iyadingeka ukuze kugcinwe izixhobo ezaneleyo kwintlango emzantsi-ntshona, kuquka ne-Arizona, nge-2021.
I-Arizona Public Service Co. ilindele ukuba imfuno ephezulu inyuke malunga ne-4 ekhulwini ukuya kwi-7,881 megawatts, kwaye iceba ukugcina umda wogcino malunga ne-15 ekhulwini.
U-Ort uthe bekunzima ukufumana imithombo yamandla eyongezelelweyo eyaneleyo, efana nezivumelwano ezisisigxina zothumelo lwamandla kwixesha elizayo, ukwandisa imida yogcino phakathi kweemarike zamandla eziqinileyo eNtshona.
"Kwixesha elidlulileyo, bekukho umthamo owaneleyo kulo mmandla ukuba ukuba ufuna ngaphezulu, uya kuthenga ngaphezulu, kodwa imarike iqinisiwe," utshilo u-Alter kwikomiti yeenkampani.
U-Alter uphinde wachaza iinkxalabo ezikhulayo zokuba imbalela ehlala ixesha elide kwi-Colorado River Basin inokumisa ukuveliswa kombane kwi-Glen Canyon Dam okanye kwiDama laseHoover, ngelixa umqhubi wegridi waseCalifornia eqhubeka nomgaqo-nkqubo owamkelwe kunyaka ophelileyo ukunciphisa amandla kaxakeka Umbane wokuthumela ngaphandle.
U-Barrios uthe i-TEP kunye ne-UES azithembeli kumadama oMlambo waseColorado kumandla ombane wamanzi, kodwa ukulahlekelwa kwezo zixhobo kuya kuthetha ukuba amandla angaphantsi kwamandla akhoyo kummandla kwaye aqhube ukunqongophala kunye namaxabiso.
Kwi-plus side, i-TEP kwiveki ephelileyo yaqala ukuthatha inxaxheba kwi-Western Energy Imbalance Market, i-real-time market yombane yombane malunga nezixhobo ze-20 ezilawulwa yi-California Independent System Operator.
Ngelixa ungongezi umthamo wokuvelisa amandla, imarike iya kunceda i-TEP ilungelelanise izixhobo eziphazamisayo ezifana nelanga kunye nomoya, ukuthintela ukungazinzi kwegridi kunye nokuphucula ukuthembeka kwenkqubo, utshilo u-Alter.
I-Tucson Power kunye nezinye izinto eziluncedo zixelele abalawuli baseburhulumenteni kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba izicwangciso zokuthintela ukucima ziya ziba nzima ngakumbi phakathi kokutshintsha ukusuka kwizityalo ezibaswe ngamalahle ukuya kwimithombo yelanga nomoya, amaqondo obushushu agqithisileyo ehlotyeni kunye nentengiso yamandla yasentshona.
Ukucaphula uphononongo lwakutsha nje lwe-Environmental + Energy Economics (E3), uAlter uthe i-TEP kunye nezinye izinto eziluncedo zaseMazantsi-ntshona zijongene nemingeni ebalulekileyo ekuhlangabezaneni nemfuno yamandla encopho njengoko zitshintsha ukusuka kwisizukulwana esibaselwe ngamalahle kwiminyaka ezayo.
"Ukukhula komthwalo kunye nokukhutshwa kwezibonelelo kudala imfuno ebalulekileyo kwaye ingxamisekileyo yezibonelelo ezitsha eMzantsi-ntshona," watsho u-E3, ingxelo egunyaziswe yi-TEP, i-Arizona Public Service, i-Salt River Project, i-Arizona Electric Cooperative, i-El Paso Power bhala .. kunye ne-New Mexico Public Service Corporation.
"Ukugcina ukuthembeka kwengingqi kuya kuxhomekeka ekubeni izinto eziluncedo zinokongeza izibonelelo ezitsha ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo ukuhlangabezana nale mfuno ekhulayo kwaye ifuna isantya esingazange sibonwe ngaphambili sophuhliso kummandla," uphononongo lwaphetha.
Kuwo wonke ummandla, izinto eziluncedo ziza kujongana nokunqongophala kwesizukulwana esiphantse sibe yi-4 GW ngo-2025, kunye nezixhobo ezikhoyo kunye nezityalo eziphantsi kophuhliso lwangoku. I-1 GW okanye i-1,000 MW ye-solar efakiweyo yomthamo wanele ukunika amandla malunga ne-200,000 ukuya kwi-250,000 yamakhaya kummandla we-TEP.
I-Southwest Utility Utility igxininisa imfuno ephezulu, ithembisa ukongeza malunga ne-5 gigawatts yamandla amatsha, kunye nezicwangciso zokongeza enye i-14.4 gigawatts ngo-2025, ingxelo ithi.
Kodwa ingxelo ye-E3 yathi nakuphi na ukulibaziseka kwizicwangciso zokwakha zenkonzo kunokukhokelela ekunqongophelweni kwamandla kwixesha elizayo, okunokuthi kunyuse umngcipheko wokuthembeka kwenkqubo ishumi leminyaka okanye ngaphezulu.
"Ngelixa lo mngcipheko unokubonakala ukude phantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo, ukuphazamiseka kwekhonkco lokubonelela, ukunqongophala kwezinto eziphathekayo kunye neemarike zabasebenzi eziqinileyo zinefuthe kwixesha leprojekthi kwilizwe lonke," lwatsho uphando.
Ngo-2021, i-TEP yongeza i-449 megawatts zomoya kunye nemithombo yelanga, eyenza inkampani ibonelele malunga ne-30% yombane wayo kwimithombo ehlaziyiweyo.
Ngokutsho kophononongo olutsha oluxhaswe yi-TEP kunye nezinye i-Southwest utilities, ngo-2025, ukuba zonke iiprojekthi zamandla avuselelekayo ezicwangcisiweyo zaseMzantsi-ntshona azigqitywanga ngexesha, aziyi kukwazi ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo yombane.
I-TEP ineprojekthi yelanga ephantsi kolwakhiwo, iprojekthi ye-solar ye-15 MW Raptor Ridge PV kufuphi ne-East Valencia Road kunye ne-Interstate 10, ekulindeleke ukuba ifike kwi-intanethi kamva kulo nyaka, ixhaswe yinkqubo yobhaliso lwabathengi belanga GoSolar Home.
Ekuqaleni kuka-Epreli, i-TEP ibhengeze isicelo somthombo wonke weziphakamiso ukuya kwii-megawatts ze-250 zamandla avuselelekayo kunye nezibonelelo zokusetyenziswa kwamandla, kuquka i-solar kunye nomoya, kunye nenkqubo yokuphendula imfuno yokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa ngexesha leemfuno eziphezulu.
I-UES ikhuphe iithenda eziya kuthi ga kwi-170 MW zamandla ahlaziyekayo kunye nezibonelelo zokonga amandla kunye nokuya kuthi ga kwi-150 MW yezibonelelo zamandla oshishino.
I-TEP kunye ne-UES zilindele ukuba isixhobo esitsha sisebenze ngokukhethwayo ngoMeyi ka-2024, kodwa kungadlulanga uMeyi ka-2025.
Umgangatho we-turbine generator kwi-H. Wilson Sundt Power Station e-3950 E. Irvington Road ngo-2017.
Phakathi komhlalaphantsi osondelayo wezixhobo zombane ezibaswa ngamalahle, i-TEP kufuneka isebenze ngokukhawuleza, kubandakanywa nokuvalwa okucetywayo kukaJuni kwe-170-megawatt Unit 1 kwisiKhululo soMbane saseSan Juan kumntla-ntshona weNew Mexico.
UBarrios uthe ukugcina umthamo owaneleyo wokuvelisa isoloko ingumba, kodwa iTEP ibisenza ngcono kunabanye abamelwane bayo bengingqi.
Ucaphule iNew Mexico Public Service Corporation, eyaxelela abalawuli ukuba ayinayo nayiphi na idiphozithi yogcino lwamandla ngoJulayi okanye ngo-Agasti.
INkonzo kaRhulumente entsha yaseMexico yagqiba ngoFebruwari ukugcina enye iyunithi eseleyo yokuvelisa amalahle eSan Juan isebenza kude kube ngoSeptemba, iinyanga ezintathu emva komhla wokuthatha umhlala-phantsi ocetyiweyo, ukonyusa umda wayo wokugcinwa kwehlobo.
I-TEP iphinda isebenze kwinkqubo yokuphendula imfuno apho abathengi bavumela izibonelelo ukuba zinciphise ukusetyenziswa kombane ngexesha leencopho zokuthintela ukunqongophala, utshilo uBarrios.
I-utility ngoku inokusebenza kunye nabathengi bezorhwebo kunye namashishini ngokukhawuleza ukunciphisa imfuno nge-megawatts ye-40, u-Barrios uthe, kwaye kukho inkqubo entsha yokulingwa evumela ukuba abanye abahlali bezindlu bafumane i-credit yekota yeedola ezili-10 ukunciphisa imfuno Ukusetyenziswa kwabo kwesifudumezi samanzi ukusuka kwincopho.
I-utility isebenzisana ne-Tucson Water kwiphulo elitsha elithi "Beat the Peak" lokukhuthaza abathengi ukuba banciphise ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ngexesha lexesha eliphezulu, eliqhelekileyo nge-3 ukuya kwi-7 pm ehlotyeni, uBarrios uthe.
Eli phulo liza kubandakanya ukuthunyelwa kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo kunye nevidiyo ecela abathengi ukuba bahlolisise izicwangciso zamaxabiso kunye neendlela zokusebenzisa amandla ukuze bancede ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwexesha eliphakamileyo, watsho.
