Tucson Power yakati ine simba rakakwana rekugadzirisa huwandu hwemagetsi anotarisirwa uye kuchengetedza ma air conditioner achirira zhizha rino.
Asi nekuchinja kubva kumafekitori anoshandiswa nemalahle kuenda kumagetsi ezuva nemhepo, tembiricha yakanyanya yezhizha uye musika wemagetsi wakaoma kumadokero, zvirongwa zvekudzivirira kudzimwa kwemagetsi zviri kuramba zvichiwedzera kuoma, TEP nedzimwe nzvimbo dzemagetsi dzakaudza vatongi vehurumende svondo rapfuura.
Sekureva kweongororo itsva yakatsigirwa neTEP nedzimwe nzvimbo dzeSouthwest, panosvika gore ra2025, kana mapurojekiti ese esimba rinodzokororwa reSouthwest akasapedzwa nenguva, haazokwanisi kusangana nezvinodiwa nemagetsi zviri kukura.
Pamusangano wegore negore weArizona Corporation Commission wekugadzirira zhizha svondo rapfuura, vakuru vakuru veTEP pamwe nedzimwe nzvimbo dzekumaruwa dzeUniSource Energy Services vakati vane simba rekugadzira rakakwana kuti vasangane nehuwandu hwepamusoro hwezvinodiwa zvezhizha zvinotarisirwa kudarika huwandu hwegore ra2021.
"Tine simba rakakwana uye tinonzwa takagadzirira kupisa kwezhizha uye kudiwa kwesimba rakawanda," akadaro mutauriri weTEP Joe Barrios. "Zvisinei, tichave tichinyatso tarisa mamiriro ekunze uye musika wesimba redu redunhu, tine zvirongwa zvekugadzirisa kana paine dambudziko."
Arizona Public Service, kambani huru yemagetsi mudunhu iri, Salt River Project inotonga yoga neArizona Electric Cooperative, iyo inopa simba kumakoperati emagetsi ekumaruwa enyika, yakaudzawo vatongi kuti vane simba rakakwana rekugadzirisa zvinodiwa munguva yezhizha.
Kuvimbika kwemagetsi munguva yezhizha kwave kuri chinhu chikuru chinonetsa kubvira muna Nyamavhuvhu 2020, apo kushomeka kwemagetsi panguva yekupisa kwakanyanya kwekumadokero kwakaita kuti vashandi vemagetsi muCalifornia vatange kudzima magetsi kuti vadzivise kuparara kwemagetsi ese.
Arizona yakakwanisa kudzivirira kudzima magetsi muchikamu chezvirongwa zvekupindura zvinodiwa uye kuedza kuchengetedza vatengi, asi vanobhadhara mitero vehurumende vakabhadhara mutengo wekuwedzera kwemitengo yemagetsi munharaunda panguva yedambudziko.
Munharaunda yese, kuronga zviwanikwa kwave kwakaoma nekuda kwekupisa kwakanyanya kwezhizha uye kusanaya kwemvura, zvirambidzo pakupinza magetsi muCalifornia, macheni emagetsi nezvimwe zvinhu zvinokanganisa mapurojekiti ezuva neokuchengetedza, Lee Alter, director wekuronga zviwanikwa zveTEP neUES, akaudza vatongi.
Zvichibva pakudiwa kunoratidza avhareji yekupisa kwezhizha, kambani iyi ichapinda muzhizha nemutengo wekuchengetedza (zvichigadzira zvinopfuura zvakatarisirwa) we16%, Alter akadaro.
Tekiniki Darrell Neil anoshanda pane imwe yehoro dzeH. Wilson Sundt Power Station muTucson, iyo ine injini shanu dzeTEP gumi dzinochinjana dzinoshandisa magetsi.
Mari yekuchengetedza magetsi inopa dziviriro kubva pakudiwa kwakanyanya kupfuura zvaitarisirwa kubva mumamiriro ekunze akaipisisa uye kukanganiswa kwemagetsi, zvakaita sekuvharwa kwemagetsi kusina kurongwa kana kukuvara kwetambo dzemagetsi dzinoshandiswa nemoto.
Western Electric Power Coordinating Board yakati mari inochengetedzwa pagore ye16 muzana inodiwa kuchengetedza zviwanikwa zvakakwana munzvimbo dziri kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kwegwenga, kusanganisira Arizona, kusvika mugore ra2021.
Arizona Public Service Co. inotarisira kuti kudiwa kukuru kwemagetsi kuchawedzera ne4 muzana kusvika pa7,881 megawatts, uye inoronga kuchengetedza mukana wekuchengetedza weinenge 15 muzana.
Ort akati zvakaoma kuwana simba rekuwedzera rakakwana, rakadai sezvibvumirano zvakatarwa zvekutumira simba mune ramangwana, kuti zviwedzere mikana yekuchengetera magetsi pakati pemisika yemagetsi isina simba kuMadokero.
"Kare, kwaive nevanhu vakawanda munharaunda iyi zvekuti kana uchida zvakawanda, waizotenga zvakawanda, asi musika wawedzera kusimba," Alter akaudza komiti yemakambani.
Alter akataurawo nezvekunetseka kuri kukura kwekuti kusanaya kwemvura kwenguva refu muColorado River Basin kunogona kumisa kugadzirwa kwemagetsi emvura paGlen Canyon Dam kana kuHoover Dam, ukuwo kambani yemagetsi yeCalifornia ichienderera mberi nemutemo wakagamuchirwa gore rapfuura wekuderedza kutengeswa kwemagetsi kunze kwenyika.
Barrios akati TEP neUES hazvivimbi nemadhamu emuRwizi rweColorado kuti vawane magetsi emvura, asi kurasikirwa nezvinhu izvozvo kunoreva kuti magetsi mashoma anowanikwa munharaunda iyi uye kukwidza kushomeka kwemagetsi nemitengo.
Pane zvakanaka, TEP svondo rapfuura yakatanga kutora chikamu muWestern Energy Imbalance Market, musika wemagetsi wenguva chaiyo wemagetsi anosvika makumi maviri anotungamirirwa neCalifornia Independent System Operator.
Kunyangwe pasina kuwedzera simba rekugadzira magetsi, musika uchabatsira TEP kuyera zviwanikwa zvinogara zvichiitika zvakaita sezuva nemhepo, kudzivirira kusagadzikana kwegrid uye kuvandudza kuvimbika kwesystem, akadaro Alter.
Tucson Power nedzimwe nzvimbo dzemagetsi dzakaudza vatungamiriri vehurumende svondo rapfuura kuti hurongwa hwekudzivirira kudzimwa kwemagetsi huri kuramba huchiwedzera kuoma pakati pekuchinja kubva kumafekitori anoshandiswa nemalahle kuenda kumagetsi ezuva nemhepo, tembiricha dzakanyanya muzhizha uye musika wemagetsi wekumadokero wakaoma.
Achitaura nezveongororo yakaitwa munguva pfupi yapfuura neEnvironmental + Energy Economics (E3), Alter akati TEP nedzimwe nzvimbo dzemagetsi dziri kuSouthwest dziri kusangana nematambudziko makuru mukuzadzisa kudiwa kukuru kwemagetsi sezvadzinochinja kubva pakugadzirwa kwemarasha mumakore anotevera.
"Kukura kwemutoro uye kubviswa kwezviwanikwa kuri kukonzera kudiwa kukuru uye kwekukurumidzira kwezviwanikwa zvitsva kuSouthwest," yakadaro E3, mushumo wakarongwa neTEP, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Arizona Electric Cooperative, El Paso Power write.. uye New Mexico Public Service Corporation.
"Kuchengetedza kuvimbika kwenzvimbo kunoenderana nekuti magetsi anogona kuwedzera zviwanikwa zvitsva nekukurumidza here kuti zvizadzise kudiwa uku kuri kukura uye zvinoda kukurumidza kwebudiriro mudunhu," ongororo yakagumisa kudaro.
Mudunhu rese, magetsi emagetsi achasangana nekushomeka kwemagetsi angangoita 4 GW panosvika gore ra2025, nezviwanikwa zviripo nemiti zviri kugadzirwa parizvino. 1 GW kana 1,000 MW yesimba rezuva rakaiswa yakakwana kupa simba kudzimba dzinosvika 200,000 kusvika 250,000 munzvimbo yeTEP.
Southwest Utilities iri kugadzirira kudiwa kukuru kwemagetsi, ichivimbisa kuwedzera magetsi matsva angangoita magigawatt mashanu, nehurongwa hwekuwedzera mamwe magigawatts gumi nemana nemana panosvika gore ra2025, mushumo wakadaro.
Asi mushumo weE3 wakati chero kunonoka muzvirongwa zvekuvaka zvekampani iyi kunogona kukonzera kushomeka kwemagetsi mune ramangwana, zvichigona kuwedzera njodzi dzekuvimbika kwehurongwa kwemakore gumi kana kupfuura.
"Kunyange zvazvo njodzi iyi ingaita seiri kure kana mamiriro ezvinhu akajairwa akajairika, kukanganiswa kwezvekutengeswa kwezvinhu, kushomeka kwezvinhu uye misika yevashandi yakaoma zvakakanganisa nguva yemapurojekiti munyika yese," akadaro ongororo iyi.
Muna 2021, TEP yakawedzera mamegawatts mazana mana nemakumi mana nemapfumbamwe emhepo uye simba rezuva, zvichiita kuti kambani ikwanise kupa magetsi ayo angangoita makumi matatu muzana kubva kumagetsi anogona kushandiswazve.
Sekureva kweongororo itsva yakatsigirwa neTEP nedzimwe nzvimbo dzeSouthwest, panosvika gore ra2025, kana mapurojekiti ese esimba rinodzokororwa reSouthwest akasapedzwa nenguva, haazokwanisi kusangana nezvinodiwa nemagetsi zviri kukura.
