01/01/2009
|
| LPGRR032 | Profile Decision Tree Changes for Advanced Meters | This change specifies a meter data type assignment of ‘IDR’ and a Profile Segment assignment other than ‘IDRRQ’ for Electric Service Identifiers (ESI IDs) with Advanced Meters. For ESI IDs that have a meter data type of IDR (includes Advanced Meters and IDRs), the default weather sensitivity code assignment is changed to ‘weather sensitive’. For simplicity, this change treats all ESI IDs that have a meter data type of ‘IDR’ in the same manner. The default weather sensitivity code assignment is not retroactive. | 10/10/2008 | Ernie Podraza on behalf of the Profiling Working Group (PWG) | No | Appendix D: Profile Decision Tree | Approved |
01/01/2009
|
| LPGRR033 | Synchronization of Load Profiling Guide with PRR804, Revisions to Section 21 Appeal Process | This Load Profiling Revision Request (LPGRR) revises Section 2 to provide that if a motion to approve a revision request fails, the revision request shall be deemed rejected by the body considering it and subject to appeal, unless at the same meeting that body later votes to recommend approval, remand or refer the revision request.

|
| LPGRR034 | Profile Model Spreadsheets - Calendar Extension and Delete Unused Models | This Load Profiling Revision Request (LPGRR) replaces version 2.2 of the profile model spreadsheets in Appendix E, with version 2.3. This update extends the variables on the Calendar, Holidays, and Sun tabs of all applicable load profile model spreadsheets 10 years - from the current maximum of 2010 to 2020. The variables in question are used by ERCOT in the generation of forecasted and backcasted Load Profiles. This change also deletes the BUSIDRRG and RESIDRRG profile model spreadsheets, which were approved but never implemented due to changes in how Profile IDs are assigned for sites that have Advanced Metering. | 06/24/2009 | Ernie Podraza on behalf of the Profiling Working Group (PWG) | No | Appendix E: Profile Model Spreadsheets | Approved |
11/01/2009
|
| LPGRR035 | Addition of Time Of Use Schedules (TOUS) to Profiles with Interval Data Recorder (IDR) Meter Data Type Codes for Advanced Meters | This LPGRR revises the Profile Decision Tree to include Profile IDs that allow Time Of Use Schedules (TOUS) for AMS meters. When 15-minute interval settlement begins for AMS meters, the meter data type codes for Electric Service Identifiers (ESI IDs) with AMS meters will be converted to Interval Data Recorders (IDRs). This request enables ESI IDs with AMS meters to have IDR meter data type codes and Oncor’s TOUS (TOU01, TOU02, and TOU13). It also allows AMS meters with Oncor TOUS to remain Non-Interval Data Recorder (Non-IDR) until such time as the proposed Profile IDs are implemented by ERCOT. | 09/14/2009 | Chris Rowley with TXU Energy | Yes | Appendix D: Profile Decision Tree | Approved |

|
| LPGRR037 | Replace Wording Truncated from LPGRR035 | This Load Profiling Guide Revision Request (LPGRR) revises the Profile Decision Tree to include wording that was truncated by Microsoft Excel 2003© during the processing of LPGRR035, Addition of Time Of Use Schedules (TOUS) to Profiles with Interval Data Recorder (IDR) Meter Data Type Codes for Advanced Meters, before LPGRR035 was approved. Some of the truncated wording was from a previously-approved version of the Profile Decision Tree, while proposed wording was truncated as well. The proposed wording that was truncated was related to allowing Electric Service Identifiers (ESI IDs) with Advanced Metering Service (AMS) meters to have IDR meter data type codes and Oncor’s TOUS (TOU01, TOU02, and TOU13). It also allows AMS meters with Oncor TOUS to remain non-IDR until such time as the proposed Load Profile IDs are implemented by ERCOT. | 12/30/2009 | PWG | Yes | Appendix D | Approved |

02/01/2013
|
| LPGRR048 | Synchronization with NPRR454, Removal of Unfunded Project List Language, and Modification of Administrative LPGRR Definition | This Load Profiling Revision Request (LPGRR) aligns the Load Profiling Guide with Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 454 (approved by the ERCOT Board on July 17, 2012) which removed language regarding the Unfunded Project List. This LPGRR also aligns the Load Profiling Guide with the Protocols by requiring ERCOT’s opinion in the TAC Report for any LPGRR requiring an ERCOT project for implementation; and includes administrative alignment changes. In addition, this LPGRR modifies the scope of the Administrative LPGRR definition to include revisions for the purpose of maintaining consistency between Section 2, Load Profiling Guide Revision Request Process and Protocol Section 21, Revision Request Process. | 08/06/2012 | ERCOT | No | 2.1, 2.4.8, 2.4.10, 2.4.11 | Approved |

Conclusion of the evaluation: Discontinue 15 reports, eliminating 516 hrs of manual work annually. Continue producing 119 reports which constitute 24,631.5 hours of manual work annually. Automate 15 reports which would eliminate 3,906 hours of manual work annually. | 09/24/2014 | Market Information System (MIS) User Group | No | 12.9.3 | Approved |

| LPGRR057 | Alignment with NPRR781, Updates to Nodal Protocol Section 18, Load Profiling, to Align with Current Market Processes | With the proliferation of Advanced Metering Systems (AMS) in the ERCOT market, this Load Profiling Guide Revision Request (LPGRR) provides a comprehensive review of the Load Profiling Guide (LPG) and makes the following changes: • Updates language to clarify purpose and definitions; • Updates current processes and methodologies; and • Removes outdated processes and practices. Much of the removed language was originally created when the retail market deregulated and outlined the theories and approaches utilized for the initial development of Load Profile assignments for non-interval Electronic Service Identifiers (ESI IDs). As the market has matured, particularly with the deployment of AMS, such detailed explanation of creating Load Profiling Methodologies and processes are no longer utilized. | 06/01/2016 | Profiling Working Group (PWG) | No | This LPGRR includes numerous changes within the Load Profiling Guide. Please see the LPGRR submission form under "Key Documents" for a complete list of impacted Sections. | Approved |
