NOTICE TYPE: Education/Training

SHORT DESCRIPTION: A new Web-Based Training module on the Outage Scheduler is now available

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Nodal Accountable Executives, Nodal Transition Project Managers, Market Trial Contacts

DAY AFFECTED: July 7, 2010

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 training module is highly recommended for TSP and QSE personnel that will submit and maintain outage information on the Outage Scheduler as well as those that may need to generate reports on outages.

ACTION REQUIRED: To access this and other Nodal market training courses, go to the Nodal training website at http://nodal.ercot.com/training/courses/index.html. Select “View Schedule” for the “Outage Scheduler Market User Interface Training” course and then select “Enroll Online” to register using the LMS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Market Participant training is an integral part of ERCOT’s efforts to help Market Participants transition to the ERCOT Nodal Market. This course is part of a series of instructor-led and web-based training courses available to Market Participants.
