NOTICE DATE: November 3, 2014 NOTICE TYPE: W-A110314-01 Operations SHORT DESCRIPTION: Implementation of shadow price cap for an irresolvable non-competitive constraint in SCED that has exceeded a net margin of $95,000 INTENDED AUDIENCE: ERCOT Market Participants DAY AFFECTED: November 3, 2014 LONG DESCRIPTION: On October 28, 2014, a shadow price cap of $2,000.00 was implemented for the SAPACAD8/HEIGHTTN_HAT1 contingency/constraint pair in accordance with the ERCOT Business Practice, Setting the Shadow Price Caps and Power Balance Penalties in Security Constrained Economic Dispatch. This document requires a new cap to be implemented once the net margin calculation of Section 3.6.3 reaches $95,000. The net margin for this contingency/constraint pair reached $95,000 on Friday, October 31. However, since the prescribed calculation results in the same value as the existing shadow price cap of $2,000, the shadow price cap remains unchanged. The contingency/constraint pair and shadow price cap are as follows: Contingency Name Constraint Name Description Maximum Shadow Price SAPACAD8 HEIGHTTN_HAT1 Loss of the 138 kV line from Caddo Switching Station TNP to Apache TNP overloading the 138/69 kV Heights TNP Autotransformer #1 $2,000.00 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The business practice document, Methodology for Setting Maximum shadow Process for Network and Power Balance constraints, is posted under Key Documents on the Real-Time Market webpage at http://www.ercot.com/mktinfo/rtm/.
