DESCRIPTION:
PRR803 is changing the
ramping period for Balancing Energy Service deployment for Base Power Schedule
Calculation and Balancing Energy Power Schedule from ten (10) minutes to
fourteen (14) minutes. This change is designed to provide more efficient
dispatch and to allow the deployment of more Balancing Energy Services.
QSEs
may test their systems prior to implementation of PRR803 to ensure
compatibility with the new fourteen (14) minute ramping period; however,
testing is not required. The attached document (PRR803 - 14 Minute Ramp Period
Testing Market Participant Handbook) outlines the testing options and the
scheduling process. The testing period is July 1, 2009, through September 30,
2009. Regardless of whether system testing is performed, all QSEs will be
required to submit documentation demonstrating that their systems are compliant
with PRR803 by October 1, 2009, in preparation for the proposed implementation
date of October 29, 2009.
ACTION REQUIRED: For Market Participants that still want to
schedule a systems test, QSEs should contact their ERCOT Wholesale Account
Manager. The QSEs will be responsible for making any necessary arrangements
with their Resource Entities.
