The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) provides Continuous Emissions Monitors (CEMS) data publicly.  Ansergy captures this data and presents it in an easy to read format.
+
Ansergy scrapes critical and non-critical notices posted by various Pipelines including:
 +
* Gas Transmission Northwest
 +
* Westcoast Energy Inc
 +
* Northwest Pipeline
 +
* SoCal Gas
  
  
CEMS is EPA’s power plant database of hourly data and includes the following unit-level data:
+
The table includes links to the actual notice and includes a field that signifies the type of notice being displayed (maintenance, force, etc.)
  
* History – full hourly starting on January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2019. EPA updates CEMS once a quarter, about 30 days following the expiry of the Q.

* Energy – hourly MWH by generating unit; our WECC CEMS has 680 coal and gas-fired units reflecting around 60,000 MWs of capacity.
 
* Fuel Burn – both hourly coal and gas burn measured in MMBtu.
 
* Emissions – SOX, NOX, and CO2
 
* Rates – SOX/MWh, NOX/MWh, CO2/MWh
 
* Heat Rates

CEMS is the only source for actual heat rates. Ansergy has made it easy to pull these with its canned heat rate report.  With a click, you can see summer, winter, or melded heat rates computed from actual gas burn and generation since 2009.  You can also derive other heat rates like Ramp Up heat rates.
 
 
 
=== Outages ===

Another energy mystery are outages; only the NERC and the plant owners have the true outages … and users of CEMS. Ansergy has compiled lists of all unit outages greater than 2 Days.
 
 
 
In the above example, we filtered out the coal units and get a list of every outage greater than 2 days since 2009. Look for repetitive outages of similar duration to back into planned outages, or compute your own forced outage rates.
 
 
 
=== CEMS Emissions ===

Each unit returns its hourly SOX, NOX, and CO2. You can then compile emission rates either by fuel (MMBTU) or energy (MWH).  In the above example, California SOX, NOX, and CO2 are plotted and aggregated by month for the HL hours.  Use the standard charting filters to make changes.
