Description:
This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) aligns the Nodal Operating Guide language regarding ECRS and Non-Spin with the revisions proposed in NPRR1178, as well as the Protocol language approved in NPRR1096, Require Sustained Two-Hour Capability for ECRS and Four-Hour Capability for Non-Spin. This NOGRR also clarifies that ERCOT may manually deploy Load Resources other than Controllable Load Resources that are providing ECRS or Responsive Reserve (RRS) to maintain a minimum 500 MWs of Physical Responsive Capability (PRC) reserves on SCED-dispatachable Resources to continuously balance the Demand with supply while maintaining the stable grid frequency for smaller disturbances.
