PTD Energy Management & Information Systems FERC TC: Information Technology for Reliability & Markets ISO-RTO Standards Collaborative July 14, 2004 J. Waight
Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution, Inc. Energy Management & Information Systems Division Security Constrained Unit Commitment Objectives: Specify Interfaces to Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) Continuation of EPRI CME project 1 st Project to demonstrate methods of ISO-RTO Standards Collaborative Desired Result is that SCUC may be considered as a black box with standard input and output interfaces Desired Result is that ISO-RTOs can procure SCUC as a component, from any vendor, and run multiple SCUC in parallel ISO-RTOs can integrate SCUC into a Market Operations System using a standard interface, at reduced cost
Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution, Inc. Energy Management & Information Systems Division Process for Creation of Standard Interfaces Each Vendor contributed its SCUC requirements Data Input Requirements and Descriptions Data Output Provided by SCUC and Description ISO-RTOs review Input/Output requirements Create a profile of data required to support features of Market Commonality due to SMD Review of existing Common Information Model IEC standard part 301 Search for existing models that can be reused Extension of CIM to add Market Features Workshop approach Development of a set of tools to automate creation of message schemas Use of tools to create message schemas
