Background

Status: Withdrawn
Date Posted: Sep 7, 2011
Sponsor: Xtreme Power Inc.
Urgent: No
Sections: 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.5, 3.4.5 (new), 6.6.1.4
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) creates a definition for an Energy Storage Resource and creates an Energy Storage Load Zone for each Energy Storage Resource capable of storing and generating one MW or greater.
Reason: This NPRR allows Energy Storage Resources to participate in the ERCOT market by addressing unintended consequences of treating the "Load" function and the "Generation" function of storage technologies under separate Settlement formulas. Failure to address this issue will result in either an unreasonable barrier to market entry for beneficial emerging technologies or in inefficient market outcomes where differences between Resource Node and Load Zone prices provide inappropriate market incentives.
