MIS 2009 Proposed Goals Through the MIS NAESB Work Group, support

the MIC in increasing and strengthening the communication of NAESB activities; to assist WECC members in monitoring, understanding, and participating in NAESB activities.

Support the drafting team in developing a WECC-wide merchant reliability communications methodology. (MAP approved at MIC; implementation by June)

Monitor FRR and other proposed reserve policies and evaluate market implications.

Page 14: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

MIS 2009 Proposed Goals

Perform an investigation to identify the obstacles to scheduling normal weekends (Saturday through Monday) on Friday.

Support the MIC in working with the Variable Generation Subcommittee and coordinate market interface issues.

Identify transmission commercial issues that impede energy markets and raise reliability concerns, and facilitate solution to those issues in appropriate forums.

Page 15: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

MIS 2009 Proposed Goals

Evaluate whether markets for merchant resale of transmission are emerging in the west. Determine what, if any, impediments exist.

Outreach to reengage MIS members.

FERC ATC NOPR

• The Commission– Approved all of the ACT Suite

• Subject to modification

– Issues a NOPR • March 19, 2009

– Created some “challenges”• To MOD-29-01

• Others

19

Page 20: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Issue Spotting: MOD-29-01– “Remove” MOD-29-01 R2.7

• Eliminate protection of Existing Path ratings• 69 “Existing Rating” Paths in WECC

– Path Rating Catalogue

– Require re-rating• Changes all contracts and models upon which the Existing

Path ratings are predicated

– Compliance in “one year” questionable– Need to respond

• WECC and multiple entities! 20

Page 21: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Issue Spotting: “Mission Creep”– Make Implementation Documents available to

broader range of entities• “Mission Creep”

• Using NAESB Business Practices – FERC has no jurisdiction over “non-jurisdictionals”

• Using Standards– FERC can sweep in “non-jurisdictionals”

– Slippery slope• Infusing non-reliability issues into reliability standards

21

Page 22: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Issue Spotting: Counterflows– Would require greater detail in describing

counter flows• WECC uses “counter schedules”

• Issue Spotting: Treatment of Network Resource Designation– Would require greater detail

• Ramifications to members are unclear

22

Page 23: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Issue Spotting: Transparency– FERC would require NERC

• Quickly audit the documents

• Replication of results is essential

• Issue Spotting: TRM– FERC says “to vague”– Lock down the ambiguities

23

Page 24: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Informational – VSL and VRF will be filed later– Process under review at NERC

• Can’t be lower than before drafting

• Must be consistently applied

• Based on a single violation and not on a cumulative number of violations

24

Page 25: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

FERC ATC NOPR

• Informational – Other MODs and FAC

• NERC / FERC agree– Retire MODs 1-9; Changes top 10-25

» Outside scope of the NERC ATC Drafting Team» More work to come

• NERC / FERC disagree– FERC says polish FAC-12– Keep FAC -13

• MODs are “operational” (through 13 months)• FACs are “planning” (14 months and beyond)

“The Process”Focus on the Criteria

W. Shannon Black

Manager, Business Practices and Standards Processes

April 22, 2009

Page 67: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Process for Developing and Approving WECC Standards• Definitions

– “Standard” • “In the context of this document, the term Standard refers

to a Reliability Standard or a commercial Business Practice.”

• Commercial Business practices are treated the same as a Criterion

• Ramification– Drafting a criterion looks just like a drafting a

standard– Criterion are expected to be followed

Page 68: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Measures and Compliance

•  Criterion (Step 11 of the Process)– “As of the effective date of such new or

modified Standard, all industry participants in the Western Interconnection that such Standard is applicable to are expected to implement and abide by the Standard.”

• Without a measure how do we know?

• Compliance is being debated

• Not Raising the Bar– Reminding WECC where the bar lies

68

Page 69: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Representation

• It’s Your Process – Use it!– Input into Standing Committee assignment– Participate drafting / all are welcome– Comment / Suggest remedies

• Be part of the answer

– Vote on the final product• Submit comments again at the Standing Committee

– APPEAL!

Page 70: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 1 – Request To Revise or Develop a Standard

• Must be “Complete”– Are all the applicable blanks filled in?– Is the issue clear to the uninitiated?– Do the Applicable Entities have a

corresponding Requirement?– Extrinsic documents included?– Is the goal of the work product clearly stated?– If you personally cannot answer the questions,

use a task force or work group

Page 71: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 1 – Request To Revise or Develop a Standard• Benchmark

– If you submitted the Request to NERC – what would be the result?

• Submitted to the “standards” email address– No other authorized medium for submission

• The Request defines the “drafting” scope of drafter’s authority– Different from scope of the criterion

Page 72: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Scope

• Must be in “Scope”– Mission

• Does it support reliability of Western Interconnection?

• Does it support efficient competitive power markets?

• Does it support open and non-discriminatory transmission access among WECC members

Page 73: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Scope

– Mandates• Does it violate any known NERC Reliability

Standards?

• Does it violate any article of the WECC By-Laws?

• Does it violate any known existing regulatory mandate? (E.g. state or local laws and regulations)

– Magnitude• Does this affect WECC only?

• Do we have authority to do it?

• Contravene or modify NERC or other mandates?

Page 74: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 2 – Request Validation and Routing

• Assigned by SRRC to Standing Committee

– Input from the industry is requested and considered

– Drafting team vs. standing committee subgroup• Announcements made to state the choice

Page 75: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 3 – Subgroup Begins Drafting Phase and Announces on WECC Web Site

• Structure / Use the Templates– Requirements

• Identify the Applicable Party– Must use the Functional Model

• Identify the specific task– Perhaps specify when, where and how

• Tasks must be in mandatory language / not subjective

– Measures• Mirror the requirements / Some evidence

– Compliance• Under debate

Page 76: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Steps 4 and 5: Draft and Deliberate

• Step 4 – Posted for Comment• First posting is 45-days – all others 30-days

• Step 5 – Deliberates on Comments– Each and every comment must be answered

• A clear question evokes a clear answer– Ask a friend “Do you understand my question?”

• Suggest a remedy– Otherwise…the answer may create other issues you has

not considered

– Use your peers

Page 77: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 6 – Subgroup Submits Draft for Standing Committee/Interested Stakeholder

• Vote to bring to ballot– Only a majority vote of the drafting team is

required– No quorum is stated– “Must be present to win.”

Page 78: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Step 7 – Standing Committee Vote on Recommendation to Board

• Vote to accept as drafted– Remember your WECC role – for the

Interconnection

– Check your philosophies• Is you vote based on your own agenda or the best

interests of the Interconnection?

Close it Out / For another Day

• Step 8 – Appeals Process

• Step 9 – Board Approval

• Step 10 – ERO Review, FERC Approval and Implementation of Reliability Standards

Background Pre-schedule Process • MIS submitted Regional Criteria request.• The Objectives:

– Codify the pre-schedule process.– To the fullest extent practical, pre-scheduling

should occur the day before the flow day. – Establish a pre-schedule process that aligns, as

close as possible, electric and gas trading days. – Develop and document pre-schedule process

definitions and descriptions.

• MIC assigned to develop Regional Criteria

Page 83: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Marketing WG Activities

• Follow and report on NAESB activities

• Investigate transmission capacity assignment for VG resources

• Investigate firm scheduling of VG resources

• Evaluate the impacts of REC markets

• Determine ancillary service requirements and Investigate new approaches to address how ancillary services will be supplied for VGVGS formed by Joint Guidance Committee.

Marketing WG Activities

• Follow pertinent NAESB Activities.

• Initial thoughts?

• NAESBWG liaison

• What topics of interest to MWG

• Demand side management

• Real time NAESB activities.

• NAESBWG assemble list of possible items of interest to MWG.

Page 96: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Marketing WG Activities

• Determine how VG resources on a transmission network be assigned transmission capacity when their output is variable? Collaborate with PWG, OWG, & MIC.

• Initial thoughts? • EPC for capacity tag for VG.• Explore capacity tags for other than CR.• Is this from perspective of TC or TP.• Competition between types of VG resources..

Page 97: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Marketing WG Activities

• Determine what portion of VG resources should be counted as firm? Create a reporting standard and come up with a number. Collaborate with MIC.

• Initial thoughts?• Does this really mean capacity?• What does firm mean to this WG?• What is the mix of the VG resources?• Market vs planning, which perspective here?• Nameplate vs usable?• Reporting to who and for what?

Page 98: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Marketing WG Activities

• Determine how a robust REC market affect VG placement, energy marketing, and system reliability? Collaborate with OWG, & MIC.

• Initial thoughts?• Federal requirement vs state and reporting?• Explore how REC market will effect negative

energy pricing..• Identify how REC may affect or influence

markets and operations.

Page 99: Western Electricity Coordinating Council WECC MIS Meeting Albuquerque April 21, 2009

Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Marketing WG Activities • How will regulation, load following, and balancing requirements (Ancillary

Services) change and how will they be supplied and delivered for variable generation integration? Collaborate with OWG, & MIC.

• Initial thoughts?

• DSS help with AS; stay coordinated JI efforts.

• Does the WG anticipate new AS? If so what?

• AS delivered to meet load not to VG.

• At what point can CR be called for VG?

• Will there be standards for response or voluntary?

• Will BA look for other ways to obtain negative capacity?

• AS provided by market rather than BA?

• More robust inc/dec market.

BPWG

• Create a SAR to require the R/C to approve/deny tags instead of just the sink BA.

• Assign BPWG with the task of creating a tag that can be faxed or emailed.

• Establish whether e-tag approval can be done by phone.

• NEW Term: WIAB WECC Interchange Authority Back-up Group.

RTWG

• Support for SAR request for intra hour scheduling?

• Each provider will have to decide for themselves.• JIU will discuss with the FERC in May.• It was suggested that the group needed to use peer

pressure to pass• intra hour scheduling. • Where s the MIS going to go with this issue? Are

they going to put out a SAR for intra hour schedule?

INT-BPS-007-0

• Modification Request of INT-BPS-007-0

• Intend to resubmit the SAR and capitalize the word Emergency.

• Relate to the NERC term for Emergency.

• Resubmit this BPS and resubmit SAR from a year ago.

• Support for SAR request for intra hour scheduling?

JISWG Update

• Shared working group for NERC and NAESB.

• Version 1.8.1 of eTag is a clean up of picky items, definition changes with no apparent functionality changes to the user specifications.

• Changes to support a 25 hour day. CISDT will also require changes to etag.

• Modified cancellation definition.

JISWG Update

• Industry registry: Current registry is the NERC TSIN.

• EIR will add adjacency data and PKI certification data. Easier to use and NAESB is

• NAESB new caretaker;to issue RFP for EIR. • Public key infrastructure (PKI) provides business

certainty and secure communications.• It is dependent on EIR implementation and the

NAESB certification committee. Consult with your vendor. Change from your url from "http" to "https" in the NERC TSIN registry.

Dynamic Scheduling Systems • The DSS allows participants to take advantage of load and

resource diversity.• Ability to implement dynamic schedules between BA's.• Populated with data from confirmed Dynamic-type tags E

tags will be coded using the "misc." field to correctly distribute requests.

• Currently you can curtail dynamic schedules and nothing happens it takes operator intervention with this DSS will take curtailment actions.

• Quantities will be reflected in the WIT and integrate after the hour and adjust tag for the previous hour.

• RFP May 12, 2009; Contract award 6/30/09;Implementation Q1 2010

• BA to BA DSS only; will not currently support pseudo-tie.

Recommendation to the MIC

Advance these issues: Develop a process for Committee and

Subcommittee interaction with VGS. (Steering)

Monitor implementation of JIG BP and debate issues with WECC wide implementation. (MIS & SIS)

Identify major topics that need TC, TP discussion. (MIS & SIS)

Identify existing “rules” that may impede intra hour VG and load service transactions. (MIS & SIS)
