SHORT DESCRIPTION: Implementation of maximum Shadow Price for an irresolvable constraint in SCED
INTENDED AUDIENCE: ERCOT Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED: December 02, 2019
LONG DESCRIPTION: On November 29, 2019, ERCOT identified a constraint that was irresolvable per the criteria defined in Section 3.6.1 of the business practice document, Setting the Shadow Price Caps and Power Balance Penalties in Security Constrained Economic Dispatch, which can be found in the Other Binding Document (OBD), Methodology for Setting Maximum Shadow Prices for Network and Power Balance Constraints. Although criteria under the rules has been met, the calculation for the updated maximum Shadow Price results in a value remaining at $2,000/MWh. The contingency/constraint pair and maximum Shadow Price are as follows:
| Contingency Name |
Constraint Name |
From Station/kV |
Description |
Maximum Shadow Price |
| DYKNWIN8 |

DHIDE/138 |

2,000 $/MWh |
This maximum Shadow Price will be used for all constraints in Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) that share the same monitored element (i.e. constraint name) and direction.
