This NPRR makes the testing and compliance requirements consistent with NPRR049, Generation Subsystem Changes to Incorporate Approved Whitepapers, and the white papers "Generation Resource Responsive Reserve Deployment and Recall" and "Non-Spin Deployment Notification and Availability" approved by TPTF located at http://nodal.ercot.com/docs/pd/mms/index.html#oth.
Reason:
In the current zonal market design, both Responsive Reserve and Non-Spin are deployed as energy by the Load Frequency Control (LFC) system. As a result of Market Participant input, ERCOT Staff proposed to have LFC deploy only capacity in the nodal design and allow only SCED to deploy all RRS and Non-spin energy. This methodology is not consistent with the current monitoring and qualification methods described in Section 8.
