To recommend approval of NPRR192 as recommended by PRS in the 8/25/09 PRS Recommendation Report and as revised by TAC; with preliminary values of X=5%, Y=5MW, and Z=10% to be reevaluated and modified as necessary by TAC and the TRE beginning two months prior to the TNMID and as necessary after the TNMID.
To recommend approval of NPRR192 as amended by CPS Energy comments and as revised by PRS; with preliminary values of X=5%, Y=5MW, and Z=10% to be reevaluated and modified as necessary by TAC and the Texas Regional Entity (TRE) beginning two months prior to the Texas Nodal Market Implementation Date (TNMID) and as necessary after the TNMID
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) establishes performance criteria for following energy deployments and/or providing Ancillary Services which must be met by Generation and Load Resources. For performance in providing Ancillary Services, the NPRR includes criteria for both Ancillary Service Capacity Monitoring and for periods during which ERCOT has deployed Ancillary Services. The calculation of energy deployment performance is also updated.
Reason:
The purpose of this NPRR is to ensure that the appropriate metrics exist in the affected Nodal Protocol Sections prior to the Texas Nodal Market Implementation Date (TNMID). It is believed that these changes are required to maintain reliability in the Nodal Market. It is not the intent of this NPRR to adversely affect the scope of the ERCOT Nodal reporting effort and thus affect the TNMID. Any reporting requirements included in this NPRR, which are deemed to be outside of the current reporting scope, may be delayed to after the TNMID if it is determined that they cannot be completed under the current Nodal Project schedule.
