This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) enables the integration of DC-Coupled Resources into ERCOT’s core systems. DC-Coupled Resources are defined as a type of Energy Storage Resource (ESR) and will be required to follow all rules associated with ESRs in addition to meeting the additional requirements in this NPRR. The language in this NPRR applies to both the current combo model era, in which ESRs are treated in ERCOT systems as two Resources—a Generation Resource and a Controllable Load Resource—as well as the future single model era described in NPRR1014, BESTF-4 Energy Storage Resource Single Model.
