DESCRIPTION: The Net Dependable Capability and
Reactive Capability (NDCRC) application will be available through the Texas
Market Link (TML) beginning September 1, 2008 for Market Participants. This application is a web interface that
allows Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) with Generation Resources to submit
the ERCOT-required seasonal High Sustainable Limit (HSL), biennial unit tests,
and results of the unannounced tests online. The application also provides
mechanisms that will allow Market Participants to enter and submit test data,
reactive capability curves (D curves) and D curve data points. The criteria for submitting unit tests
remains unchanged; only the process for submitting the test is
different.
To access the
application through TML, users must use the Resource Entity Digital Certificate
with the P1_GEN_OUTAGE participant
role that was issued by the Resource Entity. If you do not see the NDCRC link in your
list of TML Portal Resources, please contact the Resource Entities’ User System
Administrator (USA).
The NDCRC
Application provides summary screens for each type of test, where QSEs can track
the status of the latest submitted test for the current season.
ERCOT requires that
affected Market Participants gain access to the application and ERCOT encourages
you to become familiar with the application prior to it becoming mandatory.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION: Effective December 1, 2008, use of the
NDCRC application is mandatory for submitting seasonal, biennial unit tests and
results of unannounced tests. Paper copies will not be accepted after
December 1, 2008.
