ATF Tagging Guidelines Reasons to Create ATF Tags ATF tags are used by Balancing Authorities (BAs or CAs), Transmission Service Providers (TSPs), and Scheduling Entities (SEs) to accurately reflect a schedule which was coordinated and controlled by a BA’s Energy Management System (EMS) and Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system during real time system operations, but was not properly tagged. Missing or incorrectly used CA (Balancing Authority), TP (Transmission Provider), or SE (Scheduling Entity) Missing adjacencies or incorrect Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery segment(s) When there is an Emergency and WIT system goes down. ATF tags shall not be used for market driven manipulations. NOTE: When an ATF tag is needed to correct a dynamic tag, the tag type is normal. 12 W ESTERN E LECTRICITY C OORDINATING C OUNCIL
