Clarification of Ancillary Service Provider’s Responsibilities, Addition of Penalty Factor Charge for Failure to Provide, and Addition of Ancillary Service Capacity Compliance Performance Criteria |
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) addresses several issues related to Ancillary Services. First, this NPRR revises Protocol Section 4.4.7.4 to add the following description regarding the timing associated with a Qualified Scheduling Entity’s (QSE’s) obligation to deliver the physical Ancillary Service capacity that it has self-arranged or sold to ERCOT from its designated Resources during the Operating Hour. The QSE’s obligation begins at the top of each Operating Hour and ends with the top of the next Operating Hour and is continuous throughout the Operating Hour. Secondly, this NPRR introduces a penalty factor to increase charges to each QSE that fails to provide Ancillary Service capacity as described in Protocol 6.4.8.1.3, Replacement of Ancillary Service Due to Failure to Provide. The penalty factor is defined as a multiplier that is applied to each of the charge calculations defined in Section 6.7.2. The penalty factor equals ten for Regulation Up (Reg-Up), Regulation Down (Reg-Down), and Responsive Reserve Services (RRS) and five for Non-Spinning Reserve (Non-Spin) Service. Finally, this NPRR: Adds an ERCOT monitoring requirement to the Section 8.1 grey box for Ancillary Service capacity performance metrics for failure to provide Ancillary Service capacity; and Adds performance criteria to Section 8.1.1.3 that apply to events that occur when QSEs are unable to meet their Ancillary Service Obligations because of an inability to deliver an Ancillary Service due to a failure to provide (refer to Protocol Section 6.4.8.1.3). Protocol Section 6.4.8.1.3 allows the QSE the opportunity to replace this undeliverable Ancillary Service capacity, within a time frame acceptable to ERCOT or, otherwise, ERCOT is authorized to use the Supplemental Ancillary Services Market (SASM) or emergency operations processes to replace the Ancillary Service capacity. The additions to Section 8.1.1.3 allow ERCOT the option to revoke a QSEs Ancillary Service qualification and/or a Resource’s Ancillary Service qualification to provide Ancillary Services when the undeliverable Ancillary Services capacity is not replaced by the QSE, and when such events have occurred more than three times in a month, aggregated for all such events that occur in the month. |

Based on the last report published for Q1 of 2011, the maximum capacity of unregistered DG in any Load Zone is less than 1.4 MW.

Energy Offer Curve Requirements for Generation Resources Assigned Non-Spin Responsibility |
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) adds a requirement for the Energy Offer Curve to be offered above a linear curve that starts at $120 and ends at $3,000. If the Ancillary Service Resource Responsibility for Non-Spinning Reserve (Non-Spin) is reassigned to a Generation Resource during the Adjustment Period in accordance with Section 6.4.6, QSE-Requested Decommitment of Resources and Changes to Ancillary Service Resource Responsibility of Resources, the Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) shall submit an Energy Offer Curve that meets the requirements of Section 6.4.3.2 for the Generation Resource’s newly assigned Ancillary Service Resource Responsibility for Non-Spin prior to the end of the Adjustment Period. If the Ancillary Service Resource Responsibility for Non-Spin is reassigned in accordance with Section 6.4.6 from a Generation Resource that experiences a Forced Outage, Derate, or Startup Loading Failure during the Operating Period, the QSE shall submit an Energy Offer Curve that meets the requirements of Section 6.4.3.2 as soon as reasonably practicable after the event. QSE updates to an Energy Offer Curve entered at the end of the Adjustment Period become effective in ERCOT systems at the next Operating Period. Therefore, if Non-Spin is moved from one Generation Resource to another in the QSE's portfolio during an Operating Hour, any change to the Energy Offer Curve will be effective in the next Operating Period. There will not be any validation rules to verify the requirements added by this NPRR. The onus is on all QSEs to make the submission/telemetry changes needed to implement these new requirements. |

Refinements to Testing ERS |

The intent of this NPRR is to balance the needs for testing to validate parameters for ERS as set forth in the Protocols and Other Binding Documents, while recognizing that ERCOT-instructed interruption of Load for testing purposes can impact Real-Time energy price formation. |

Ancillary Service Make-Whole Payments Under a Watch |
This NPRR requires ERCOT to implement a Make-Whole Payment for Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) that are unable to hedge the cost of serving Load due to a reassignment of capacity from energy to Ancillary Services that could occur under a Watch. Starting June 1, 2014, the Real-Time Locational Marginal Price (LMP) will be capped at $9,000 (including the Option B+ adder), and Day-Ahead offers will be capped at $7,000. If a Market Participant believes there is a certainty that Real-Time LMPs will go to the cap, it is unlikely to offer all its generation at a $2,000 discount in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) to the price it has to pay for its Loads and energy trades exposure in Real-Time. This includes Ancillary Services. A generator would choose to receive $9,000 Real-Time LMPs over $7,000 Day-Ahead Market Clearing Prices for selling Ancillary Services. This could lead to a situation whereby ERCOT cannot procure enough Ancillary Service to meet its Ancillary Service Plan. It can issue a Supplementary Ancillary Service Market (SASM), but this has the same problem in that the SASM offer cap is $7,000, which could be lower than Real-Time energy price. Thus the only alternative left to ERCOT to meet its North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) requirements of spinning reserves is to Reliability Unit Commitment (RUC) units for Ancillary |

Augmented ORDC to Include Reliability Factor Methodology |
The Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) introduces the reliability factor which will be used to augment the ORDC to place a higher value on Real-Time operating reserves during defined periods of increased system risk to adequately price the increased risk; and provides the process for modifying the methodology used to determine the reliability factor. The price after the addition of the Real-Time On-Line Reserve Price Adder to Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) approximates the pricing outcome of Real-Time energy and Ancillary Service co-optimization since the Real-Time On-Line Reserve Price Adder captures the value of the opportunity cost of reserves based on the defined ORDC and adjusted for the reliability factor. The reliability factor methodology requires ERCOT to provide advance notice prior to modifying the reliability factor for an Operating Day and advance posting of the reliability factor for the applicable Operating Day to the Market Information System (MIS). The timing values are represented as "X" and will be determined through the stakeholder process prior to approval of this NPRR. |
