U-Neil Etter, u-opharetha wegumbi lokulawula e-Tucson Power's H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station.
I-Tucson Power ithe inamandla anele okuhlangabezana neziqongo zezidingo eziphakeme ezilindelwe futhi igcine ama-air conditioner enkeneneza kuleli hlobo.
Kepha ngokusuka ezitshalweni ezibaselwa ngamalahle kuye ezinsizeni zelanga nezomoya, amazinga okushisa asehlobo adlulele kakhulu kanye nemakethe yamandla aqinile entshonalanga, izinhlelo zokugwema ukuphuma ziya ngokuya ziba nzima, i-TEP nezinye izinsiza zitshele abalawuli bombuso ngesonto eledlule..
Ngokusho kocwaningo olusha oluxhaswe yi-TEP nezinye izinsiza zaseNingizimu-ntshonalanga, ngo-2025, uma wonke amaphrojekthi wamandla avuselelekayo aseNingizimu-ntshonalanga engaqedwa ngesikhathi, angeke akwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo sikagesi.
Emhlanganweni we-Arizona Corporation Commission waminyaka yonke wokulungela ihlobo ngesonto eledlule, izikhulu ze-TEP kanye nezinsiza zasemakhaya i-UniSource Energy Services zathi zinamandla okukhiqiza okwanele ukuhlangabezana nenani eliphakeme lesidingo sasehlobo okulindeleke ukuba lidlule amazinga ka-2021.
"Sinogesi owanele futhi sizizwa sikulungele ukushisa kwehlobo kanye nesidingo esikhulu samandla," kusho umkhulumeli we-TEP uJoe Barrios."Kodwa-ke, sizobe sisiqaphe ngeso lokhozi isimo sezulu kanye nemakethe yethu yamandla yesifunda, sinezinhlelo eziphuthumayo uma kwenzeka kuba nezimo eziphuthumayo."
I-Arizona Public Service, okuyisikhungo esikhulu kunazo zonke sikagesi esifundazweni, iSalt River Project ezibusayo kanye ne-Arizona Electric Cooperative, okuyiyona enika amandla imifelandawonye kagesi yasemaphandleni, iphinde yatshela abalawuli ukuthi banamandla anele alungele ukuhlangabezana nezidingo ezilindelekile zasehlobo.
Ukuthembeka kwasehlobo kube yinto ekhathaza kakhulu kusukela ngo-Agasti 2020, lapho ukushoda kukagesi ngesikhathi somlando we-heatwave eNtshonalanga kwashukumisela opharetha besistimu yokudlulisa yaseCalifornia ukuthi basebenzise ukucisha ugesi ukuze kugwenywe ukuwa kwesistimu yonke.
I-Arizona ikwazile ukugwema ukucima ngokwengxenye ngezinhlelo zokuphendula isidingo kanye nemizamo yokuvikela amakhasimende, kodwa abakhokhi bentela bombuso bathwala izindleko zokukhuphuka kwamanani kagesi wesifunda ngesikhathi senhlekelele.
Kuso sonke isifunda, ukuhlelwa kwezinsiza kuye kwaba nzima kakhulu ngenxa yamazinga okushisa ehlobo adlulele kanye nesomiso, imikhawulo ekuthengisweni kukagesi waseCalifornia, amaketanga okuhlinzeka kanye nezinye izici ezithinta amaphrojekthi elanga nesitoreji, u-Lee Alter, umqondisi wokuhlelwa kwezinsiza ze-TEP kanye ne-UES, utshele abalawuli..
Ngokusekelwe esidingweni esibonisa izinga lokushisa elimaphakathi ehlobo, insiza izongena ehlobo inenani eliphelele lokubekisa (elikhiqiza ngaphezu kwesidingo esibikezelwe) se-16%, kusho u-Alter.
Uchwepheshe u-Darrell Neil usebenza kwelinye lamahholo e-H. Wilson Sundt Power Station e-Tucson, ehlala izinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi ezinhlanu kweziyi-10 ze-TEP.
Amamajini abekiwe ahlinzeka ngezinsiza ngesivimbeli ngokumelene nesidingo esingaphezu kwalokho ebesilindelwe esivela esimweni sezulu esibi kakhulu kanye nokuphazamiseka kokuhlinzeka, njengokuvalwa kwesikhungo samandla kagesi okungahleliwe noma ukulimala komlilo wequbula emigqeni yokudlulisela.
I-Western Electric Power Coordinating Board ithe imajini yokugcina yonyaka engamaphesenti angu-16 iyadingeka ukuze kugcinwe izinsiza ezanele ogwadule oluseningizimu-ntshonalanga, kuhlanganise ne-Arizona, kuze kube ngu-2021.
I-Arizona Public Service Co. ilindele ukuthi isidingo esiphezulu sikhuphuke cishe ngo-4% siye ku-7,881 megawatts, futhi ihlela ukugcina umkhawulo obekiwe ongamaphesenti angaba ngu-15.
U-Ort uthe kunzima ukuthola imithombo yamandla engeziwe eyanele, njengezinkontileka ezimisiwe zokudluliselwa kwamandla esikhathini esizayo, ukuze kwandiswe amamajini abekiwe phakathi kwezimakethe zikagesi eziqinile eNtshonalanga.
"Esikhathini esidlule, bekunomthamo owanele esifundeni ukuthi uma ufuna okwengeziwe, ungahamba uyothenga okwengeziwe, kodwa imakethe iqiniswe ngempela," kusho u-Alter etshela ikomidi lezinkampani.
U-Alter uphinde waveza ukukhathazeka okukhulayo kokuthi isomiso eside e-Colorado River Basin singamisa ukuphehlwa kukagesi ngamanzi e-Glen Canyon Dam noma e-Hoover Dam, kuyilapho osebenza ngegridi yaseCalifornia eqhubeka nenqubomgomo eyamukelwa ngonyaka odlule yokukhawulela amandla aphuthumayo Ukuthunyelwa kukagesi.
U-Barrios uthe i-TEP kanye ne-UES abathembele emadamini oMfula iColorado ukuze bathole amandla kagesi, kodwa ukulahlekelwa kwalezo zinsiza kuzosho amandla amancane atholakalayo esifundeni futhi kukhuphule ukushoda nezintengo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-TEP ngesonto eledlule iqale ukubamba iqhaza emakethe ye-Western Energy Imbalance Market, imakethe kagesi yesikhathi sangempela yezinsiza ezingaba ngu-20 eziphethwe yi-California Independent System Operator.
Nakuba ingangezi umthamo wokukhiqiza amandla, imakethe izosiza i-TEP ibhalansise izinsiza zesikhashana ezifana nelanga nomoya, ivimbele ukungazinzi kwegridi futhi ithuthukise ukwethembeka kwesistimu, kusho u-Alter.
I-Tucson Power nezinye izinsiza zitshele abalawuli bombuso ngeledlule ukuthi izinhlelo zokugwema ukunqamuka ziya ziba nzima kakhulu phakathi nokusuka ezitshalweni ezibaswa ngamalahle kuye kwimithombo yelanga neyomoya, amazinga okushisa asehlobo adlulele kakhulu kanye nemakethe kagesi yasentshonalanga eqinile.
Ecaphuna ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe yi-Environmental + Energy Economics (E3), u-Alter uthe i-TEP nezinye izinsiza zaseNingizimu-ntshonalanga zibhekana nezinselelo ezinkulu ekuhlangabezaneni nesidingo esikhulu samandla njengoba zisuka esizukulwaneni esibaselwa ngamalahle eminyakeni ezayo.
"Ukukhula komthwalo kanye nokuqedwa kwezinsiza kudala isidingo esibalulekile nesiphuthumayo sezinsiza ezintsha eNingizimu-ntshonalanga," kusho u-E3, umbiko othunyelwe yi-TEP, i-Arizona Public Service, i-Salt River Project, i-Arizona Electric Cooperative, i-El Paso Power bhala.. I-Mexico Public Service Corporation.
"Ukugcina ukwethembeka kwesifunda kuzoncika ekutheni izinsiza zingakwazi yini ukwengeza izinsiza ezintsha ngokushesha ngokwanele ukuze zihlangabezane nalesi sidingo esikhulayo futhi zidinga ijubane elingakaze libonwe lentuthuko esifundeni," kuphetha ucwaningo.
Kuso sonke isifunda, izinsiza zizobhekana nokushoda kwesizukulwane cishe kwe-4 GW ngo-2025, nezinsiza ezikhona kanye nezitshalo ezisathuthukiswa njengamanje. I-1 GW noma i-1,000 MW yomthamo welanga efakiwe yanele ukunika amandla cishe amakhaya angu-200,000 kuya ku-250,000 esifundeni se-TEP.
I-Southwest Utilities ibheka isidingo esikhulu, ithembisa ukwengeza cishe amagigawathi angu-5 wamandla amasha, ngezinhlelo zokwengeza amanye amagigawathi angu-14.4 ngo-2025, kusho umbiko.
Kodwa umbiko we-E3 uthe noma yikuphi ukubambezeleka ezinhlelweni zokwakha zensiza kungaholela ekushodeleni kwamandla esikhathini esizayo, okungase kunyuse ubungozi bokwethenjelwa kwesistimu iminyaka eyishumi noma ngaphezulu.
"Yize lobu bungozi bungase bubonakale bukude ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, ukuphazamiseka kwe-supply chain, ukushoda kwezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nezimakethe eziqinile zabasebenzi kube nomthelela ezikhathini zephrojekthi ezweni lonke," kusho ucwaningo.
Ngo-2021, i-TEP yengeza amamegawathi angu-449 omoya nezinsiza zelanga, okwenza inkampani ikwazi ukuhlinzeka cishe ngama-30% kagesi wayo ovela emithonjeni evuselelekayo.
Ngokusho kocwaningo olusha oluxhaswe yi-TEP nezinye izinsiza zaseNingizimu-ntshonalanga, ngo-2025, uma wonke amaphrojekthi wamandla avuselelekayo aseNingizimu-ntshonalanga engaqedwa ngesikhathi, angeke akwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo sikagesi.
I-TEP inomklamo welanga esakhiwayo, iphrojekthi yelanga engu-15 MW Raptor Ridge PV eduze nomgwaqo wase-East Valencia kanye ne-Interstate 10, okulindeleke ukuthi ifakwe ku-inthanethi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, ixhaswe uhlelo lokubhaliselwa kwelanga lamakhasimende i-GoSolar Home .
Ekuqaleni kuka-April, i-TEP yamemezela isicelo somthombo wonke seziphakamiso zamamegawathi afinyelela kwangu-250 wamandla avuselelekayo kanye nezinsiza zokonga ugesi, okuhlanganisa ilanga nomoya, kanye nohlelo lokuphendula isidingo sokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa ngezikhathi zesidingo esikhulu. I-TEP nayo ukufuna izinsiza “zamandla angaguquki” afinyelela ku-300MW, okuhlanganisa nezinhlelo zokugcina amandla ahlinzeka okungenani ngamahora amane ngosuku ehlobo, noma afuna izinhlelo zokuphendula.
I-UES ikhiphe amathenda afinyelela ku-170 MW wemithombo yamandla avuselelekayo namandla afinyelela ku-150 MW wezinsiza zamandla ezinkampani.
I-TEP kanye ne-UES balindele ukuthi insiza entsha izosebenza kahle ngoMeyi 2024, kodwa kungakapheli uMeyi 2025.
Isitezi se-turbine generator e-H. Wilson Sundt Power Station ku-3950 E. Irvington Road ngo-2017.
Phakathi nokuza komhlalaphansi kwezimboni zikagesi ezibaswa ngamalahle, i-TEP idinga ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha, okuhlanganisa nokuvalwa okuhleliwe kukaJuni kweyunithi 1 yamamegawathi angu-170 eSiteshini Samandla SaseSan Juan enyakatho-ntshonalanga yeNew Mexico.
U-Barrios uthe ukugcina amandla okukhiqiza anele kuhlale kuyinkinga, kodwa i-TEP yenza kangcono kunabanye omakhelwane bayo besifunda.
Ubalule i-New Mexico Public Service Corporation, etshele abalawuli ukuthi ayinayo imali yokugcina imali ngoJulayi noma ngo-Agasti.
I-New Mexico Public Service yanquma ngoFebhuwari ukugcina enye iyunithi ekhiqiza amalahle esele e-San Juan isebenza kuze kube uSepthemba, izinyanga ezintathu ngemuva kosuku oluhlelelwe lokuthatha umhlalaphansi, ukuze kukhuliswe umkhawulo wayo wokulondoloza ehlobo.
I-TEP iphinde isebenze ohlelweni lokuphendula isidingo lapho amakhasimende evumela izinsiza ukuthi zehlise ukusetshenziswa kukagesi ngezikhathi eziphakeme kakhulu ukugwema ukushoda, kusho uBarrios.
Isisetshenziswa manje sesingasebenzisana namakhasimende ezentengiselwano nezimboni ukwehlisa ngokushesha isidingo ngamamegawathi angama-40, kusho uBarrios, futhi kunohlelo olusha lokuhlola oluvumela abanye abahlala emafulethini ukuthi bathole isikweletu sekota sama- $ 10 ukunciphisa isidingo Isifudumezi sabo samanzi. ukusetshenziswa kusuka phezulu.
Lolu hlelo luphinde lubambisene neTucson Water emkhankasweni omusha othi “Beat the Peak” ukunxenxa amakhasimende ukuthi ehlise ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ngezikhathi eziphakeme kakhulu, okuvamise ukuba ngo-3 kuya ku-7 ebusuku ehlobo, kusho uBarrios.
Lo mkhankaso uzobandakanya ukuthunyelwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kanye nevidiyo emema amakhasimende ukuthi ahlole izinhlelo zamanani nezinketho zokonga ugesi ukusiza ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwehora eliphakeme, esho.
