To endorse and forward to TAC the 2/8/18 PRS Report as amended by the 3/1/18 ERCOT comments and revised by PRS and the Impact Analysis for NPRR864 with a recommended priority of 2018 and a rank of 2075
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) modifies the Reliability Unit Commitment (RUC) engine to scale down commitment costs of fast-start Resources (<=1 hr starts) so that the RUC engine will recommend slow-start Resource commitments only if re-Dispatching of On-Line Resources and potential market-based self-commitments of fast-start Resources will not resolve the reliability issue.
Reason:
Addresses current operational issues. Meets Strategic goals. Market efficiencies/enhancements.
