Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: May 29, 2008
Sponsor: Potomac Economics
Urgent: Yes
Sections: 7.3.2, 7.5.2
Description: This Protocol Revision Request (PRR) provides that zonal constraints are only those constraints for which a Commercially Significant Constraint (CSC) or Closely Related Elements (CRE) is the base case or post-contingency limiting element.
Reason: Recent experience has revealed that the attempt to use zonal Balancing Energy to manage zonal constraints for which the post-contingency limiting element is neither a CSC nor a CRE has been very ineffective and inefficient.
