Recommend approval of PRR647 as recommended by PRS and to have this PRR implemented as soon as practicable within 18 months, but no later than 1/1/09, if such delay is necessary to accommodate nuclear plants.
Instruct ROS to develop a cost benefit assessment to include an assessment of the effect on system reliability, and to investigate potential alternatives to implementing this PRR
Refer PRR647 to ROS for determination of ERCOT needs and identification of data already being reported to ERCOT by Market Participants, and direct ROS to report to PRS at its March meeting

Status:
Approved

Urgent:
No
Sections:
6.5.1.1
Description:
Adds a requirement for a QSE representing a Resource to supply both gross and net MW and Mvar data to ERCOT for use in the operations model.
Reason:
(1) In order to correctly model reactive capability and assess voltage security with ERCOT™s Voltage Stability Analysis Tool (VSAT), it is necessary to know the gross (generator terminal) output of Generation Resources, both MW and Mvar.
(2) This PRR provides for compliance with NERC Standard VAR-001-0: R9, which states€“ Each Generator Operator shall provide information to its Transmission Operator on the status of all generation reactive power resources, including the status of voltage regulators and power system stabilizers.
