Assumptions for the 2016/17 FCA ICR Values Calculation
14
Modeling the New England Control Area
The New England ICR is calculated using the GE MARS model– Internal transmission constraints are not modeled. All loads and
resources are assumed to be connected to a single electric bus.
– Internal transmission constraints are addressed through Local Sourcing Requirements and Maximum Capacity Limits.
– For FCA7, the following requirements are needed for the auction:• MCL for the Maine export-constrained Load Zone• LSR for the NEMA/Boston and Connecticut import-constrained Load Zones
15
Assumptions for the ICR Calculations
16
• Load Forecast– Load Forecast distribution
• Resource Data Based on Existing Qualified Capacity Resources for FCA7– Generating Capacity Resources– Intermittent Power Capacity Resources – Import Capacity Resources– Demand Resources (DR)
• Resource Availability– Generating Resources Availability– Intermittent Power Resources Availability– Demand Resources Availability
• Load Relief from OP 4 Actions– Tie Reliability Benefits
• Quebec (includes HQICCs) • Maritimes• New York
– 5% Voltage Reduction
Load Forecast Data• Load forecast assumption from the 2012 CELT Report & 2012
Regional System Plan (RSP12) Load Forecast
• The load forecast weather related uncertainty is represented by specifying a series of multipliers on the peak load and the associated probabilities of each load level occurring– derived from the 52 weekly peak load distributions described by the
expected value (mean), the standard deviation and the skewness.

Monthly Peak Load (MW) – 50/50 Forecast
There is a distribution associated with each monthly peak. The distribution associated with the Summer Seasonal Peak (July & August) is show below:

• The load forecast uncertainty is determined by the three moments of the distribution: the mean, standard deviation and skewness.

• Connecticut sub-area– N-1 Limit: 2,600 MW– N-1-1 Limit: 1,400 MW
• Boston sub-area– N-1 Limit: 4,850 MW– N-1-1 Limit: 4,175 MW
• Maine sub-area– N-1 Limit: 1,600 MW
29
• Boston Import includes the impact of the Salem Harbor station retirement and of the recently certified Advanced North Shore Upgrades
• The New England East-West Solution (NEEWS) includes the Greater Springfield Reliability Program for 2014 and the Interstate Reliability Program for December 2015 however, this project has not yet been certified to be in service by 2016
• The Maine Power Reliability Program (MPRP) is expected in service by 2015 summer. This project may result in increased transfer capability across interfaces in Maine however, sufficient testing has not been completed
Resource Data Used in the LRA Calculation (MW)

• Resources for New England excludes HQICCs• Load and Resource assumptions are for the corresponding RSP area used as a proxy for the load zone. DR
values are the load zone values.

TSA Load & Resource Assumptions
• Load Forecast Data– 2012 CELT forecast
• Connecticut sub-area 90/10 peak load*: 8,201 MW• Boston sub-area 90/10 peak load*: 6,520 MW
• Resource Data– Based on FCA #7 Qualified Existing Capacity data
• Resources terminated effective 7/1/2012 have been removed– Generating Capacity
• Connecticut sub-area existing qualified capacity: 9,004 MW– Includes 6,310 MW of regular generation resources, 191 MW of intermittent
generation resources and 1,533 MW of peaking generation resources• Boston sub-area existing qualified capacity: 3,228 MW
– Includes 2,273 MW of regular generation resources, 70 MW of intermittent generation resources and 251 MW of peaking generation resources
31
*The 90/10 peak load for the sub-area differs slightly from the 90/10 peak load for the Load Zone.
TSA Resource Unavailability Assumptions
• Resource Unavailability Assumptions– Regular Generation Resources - Weighted average EFORd
• Connecticut sub-area: (Line-Gen) = 7% (Line-Line) = 6%• Boston sub-area: (Line-Gen) = 4% (Line-Line) = 2%
– Intermittent Generation Resources: 0%– Peaking Generation Resources - Operational de-rating factor
• Connecticut and Boston sub-areas: 20%– Passive Demand Resources: 0%– Non-RTEG Active Demand Resources - De-rating based on performance
factors• Connecticut sub-area: 28%• Boston sub-area: 20%
– Real-Time Emergency Generation - De-rating based on performance factors• Connecticut sub-area: 20%• Boston sub-area: 19%

OP 4 Assumptions - Action 6 & 8 - 5% Voltage Reduction (MW)
• Use the 90-10 Peak Load Forecast minus all Passive DR & Active DR with RTEG limited to 600 MW, if necessary
• Multiplied by the 1.5% value used by ISO Operations in estimating relief obtained from OP4 voltage reduction

Notes:
• Intermittent Power Resources have both the summer and winter capacity values modeled
• OP 4 Voltage Reduction includes both Action 6 and Action 8 MW assumptions
