Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Mar 15, 2010
Sponsor: Formosa Utility Venture, Ltd
Urgent: No
Sections: 6.8.1.15.1
Description: This Protocol Revision Request (PPR) proposes two changes to Section 6.8.1.15.1 as follows: 1. When a Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) is given a verbal Dispatch Instruction from ERCOT, the QSE shall be exempt from any Uninstructed Resource Charge during the specified verbal Dispatch Instruction time period, provided that the QSE followed instructions to within the Schedule Control Error (SCE) of the verbal Dispatch Instruction given. 2. After a Load acting as a Resource (LaaR) has been activated, the QSE representing the LaaR can request a three hour extension for scheduling under paragraph (11) of Section 6.10.6, Ancillary Service Deployment Performance Conditions, and during this rescheduling time, a Private Use Network shall not incur Uninstructed Resource Charges for three hours as the Load returns back to service. Additional non-substantive administrative revisions, such as correcting defined term usage, number usage and paragraph references, are shown with the author "ERCOT Market Rules."
Reason: The two reasons for the proposed revisions are as follows: 1. Under the current Protocols, QSEs have received Uninstructed Resource Charges when following verbal Dispatch Instructions issued by ERCOT, even though they followed such instructions precisely. 2. Private Use Networks are unfairly penalized with Uninstructed Resource Charges until the Load is restored. The co-generation site is unable to shed generation as there is a consistent Real Time steam demand, therefore the Private Use Network will run an SCE until the Load is restored. Formosa Utility Venture, Ltd. has incurred several Uninstructed Resource Charges after successful deployment of LaaRs in the past.
