NOTICE DATE: October 3, 2008 NOTICE TYPE: W-B081508-03 Operations CLASSIFICATION: Public SHORT DESCRIPTION: Unit Test Web Application Enhancements INTENDED AUDIENCE: QSEs DAY AFFECTED: October 9, 2008 LONG DESCRIPTION: The Net Dependable Capability and Reactive Capability (NDCRC) application has been available through the Texas Market Link (TML) since 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 reactive tests, and results of the unannounced tests online. Please note that for Jointly Owned Units (JOUs), the Master QSE only should submit the Seasonal HSL, and the HSL submitted should reflect the whole physical unit. The Net Dependable Capability and Reactive Capability (NDCRC) application will be enhanced on October 9, 2008, as follows: * A Custom Filter function has been added to each Summary page. It provides options to view tests specified by attributes that you select. You can specify test dates, stations, units, or temperature. The custom filtered list will replace the existing summary page and will remain in effect until you select the default filter (current season or current year), specify another custom filter, or close the browser session. * Functionality has been added to enter Real Power Tests for multiple stations and units and send in one submission. * Help files have been added to the application. Click the question mark icon in the upper right of each screen to access help. 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. CONTACT: If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager.
