SHORT DESCRIPTION: ERCOT
to publish Outage Scheduler web-based training module and offer introductory
training sessions
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Nodal
Accountable Executives, Nodal Transition Project Managers, Market Trial

DAYS AFFECTED: See table

LONG DESCRIPTION: A new
Outage Scheduler application is being implemented as part of the package of
applications for the Nodal Market. The Outage Scheduler is the primary tool for
managing transmission and Resource outages as well as providing outage
information to market participants. Transmission Service Providers (TSPs) and
Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) will use the new Outage Scheduler user
interface to submit outages and coordinate outage related activities with
ERCOT. ERCOT has developed a user guide along with a web-based user interface
training module to introduce the user interface and provide ongoing reference
material for end users of the application. The introductory sessions are
targeted at personnel from TSPs, QSEs and Resource Entities and are intended
to:
·
Review ERCOT market rules related to outage
coordination
·
Describe roles and responsibilities for ERCOT
and market participants
·
Introduce the use and design of the Outage
Scheduler
·
Demonstrate the basic functions of the Outage
Scheduler
·
Describe the interfaces between the outage
scheduler and other Nodal Market applications.
TSPs and QSEs are encouraged to
send personnel that will either submit or maintain outage information on the
Outage Scheduler as well as those that may need to generate reports on outages.
