NOTICE DATE:  May 20, 2014
NOTICE TYPE:  M-A050114-02 NPRR
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Reminder: Settlement implementation details for NPRR555
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  ERCOT Market Participants and Settlement Personnel
DAY AFFECTED:  June 1, 2014
LONG DESCRIPTION:  Effective June 1, 2014, ERCOT will implement Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 555, Load Resource Participation in Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch.  NPRR555 enables Demand response from Controllable Load Resources, as re-defined, to be Dispatched by Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) based on a Real-Time Market (RTM) Energy Bid.
ACTION REQUIRED:  Implement changes to shadow settlement systems in compliance with NPRR555.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Detailed description included in the Market Notice below.
NPRR555<http://www.ercot.com/mktrules/issues/nprr/551-575/555>  with associated documents can be found on the ERCOT website.

NOTICE TYPE:  M-A050114-01 NPRR
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Settlement implementation details for NPRR555
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  ERCOT Market Participants and Settlement Personnel
DAY AFFECTED:  June 1, 2014
LONG DESCRIPTION:  Effective June 1, 2014, ERCOT will implement Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 555, Load Resource Participation in Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch.  NPRR555 enables Demand response from Controllable Load Resources, as re-defined, to be Dispatched by Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) based on a Real-Time Market (RTM) Energy Bid.

Base Point Deviation Charges


Controllable Load Resources that participate in SCED will be subject to Base Point Deviation charges  as follows:
If AABP_<Q>_<R>_<SP> * (¼)   >  ATPC_<Q>_<R>_<SP>
Then perform the calculation process for under- consumption (Protocol Section 6.6.5.1.1.4)
Otherwise perform the calculation process for over- consumption (Protocol Section 6.6.5.1.1.3)

6.6.5.1.1.3            Controllable Load Resource Base Point Deviation Charge for Over Consumption
(1) ERCOT shall charge a QSE for a Controllable Load Resource for over-consumption that exceeds the following tolerance.  The tolerance is the greater of:
(a)       XO% of the average of the Base Points in the Settlement Interval adjusted for any Ancillary Service deployments; or
(b)       YO MW for power consumption above the average of the Base Points in the Settlement Interval adjusted for any Ancillary Service deployments.
(2) The Controllable Load Resource Base Point Deviation Charge for over-consumption variables XO and YO shall be subject to review and approval by TAC and shall be posted to the MIS Public Area no later than three Business Days after TAC approval.
(3) The charge to each QSE for non-excused over-consumption for each Controllable Load Resource during a 15-minute Settlement Interval in which the Controllable Load Resource has received a Base Point is calculated as follows:

BPDAMT q, r, p, i = -1 * Min (PRZ1, RTSPPp,i) * Min (1, KP1) * OCONSM q, r, p, i
Where:
OCONSM q, r, p, i   = Max [0, ATPCq, r, p, i  - ¼* Max (((1 + KLR1) * AABP q, r, p, i), (AABP q, r, p, i + QLR1)))]
ATPC q, r, p, i         =       ((AVGTPC5M q, r, p i ,y) / 3) * ¼

6.6.5.1.1.4            Controllable Load Resource Base Point Deviation Charge for Under Consumption
(1) ERCOT shall charge a QSE for a Controllable Load Resource for under-consumption if the average telemetered power consumption is below than the lesser of:
(a)       [100-XU]% of the average of the Base Points in the Settlement Interval adjusted for any Ancillary Service deployments; or
(b)       The average of the Base Points in the Settlement Interval adjusted for any Ancillary Service deployments minus YU MW.
(2) The Controllable Load Resource Base Point Deviation Charge for under-consumption variables XU and YU shall be subject to review and approval by TAC and shall be posted to the MIS Public Area no later than three Business Days after TAC approval.
(3) The charge to each QSE for non-excused under-consumption of each Controllable Load Resource during a 15-minute Settlement Interval in which the Controllable Load Resource has received a Base Point is calculated as follows:

BPDAMT q, r, p, i = Max (PRZ2, RTSPP p, i) * UCONSM q, r, p, i
Where:
UCONSM q, r, p, i   = Max [0, [Min ((1 - KLR2) * ¼* AABP q, r, p, i ), ¼ * (AABP q, r, p, i - QLR2)) - ATPCq, r, p, i]]
ATPC q, r, p, i         =       ((AVGTPC5M q, r, p i ,y,) / 3) * ¼
