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.
ERCOT has already conducted three instructor-led training
sessions during June and July on the Outage Scheduler for TSPs, QSEs and
Resource Entities (REs). This additional WebEx session will focus on how QSEs
and REs will manage outages related to Resources and Resource Entity owned
Transmission Facilities.
The training session is 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.
Personnel from QSEs and REs that
will either submit or maintain outage information on the Outage Scheduler as
well as those that may need to generate reports on outages are encouraged to
attend this training session.
