5. Monitored Element- Bell – KSCO3 69kV LN:230 Contingent Element- SUMNER – OXFO 138kV LN: OXFO_SUMNER Reason for Violating: One-day outage of 138kV line; generation able to control the constraint, but a low ramp rate and the unit not staying right on dispatch led to a lot of violations.

10. Monitored Element- Ogalala – Brule 115kV Contingent Element- Stegall 345/230 kV Xfmr Reason for Violating: Planned outage of a Line; normal reconfigurations were not an option. TLR needed to control external impacts on the flowgate; low GSFs on SPP market resources contributed to needing to violate the flowgate up to 102% of the effective limit just to start dispatching down the primary Decrement unit. During the violations on 7/30, we ran out of dispatchable room and had to create a post- contingent load shed plan.

12. Monitored Element- Mustang – Denver 115kV C.1 Contingent Element- Mustang – Denver 115kV C.2 Reason for Violating: A CA requested more of a resource to be brought online after a unit tripped. The plant was operating with a high Eco Min due to testing for HE 15, and the others were dispatched to their Eco Min and we had no more room to move down on the resources.

18. Monitored Element- Renfrow7 – RenfrowWF 138kV Contingent Element- Hunters – Woodring 345kV Reason for Violating: Ran out of room to move up on generation; low shift factors and other flowgates binding were competing for Incs/Decs coming across peak load. Nearby wind had very low offers, so prices did not get low enough to dispatch them down.

19. Monitored Element- Renfrow7 – RenfrowWF 138kV Contingent Element- Hunters – Woodring 345kV Reason for Violating: Online generation maxed out; high wind at windfarm, forced outage on a line made Dec GSFs a little bit lower, making it more difficult for RTBM to solve the constraint; also, this flowgate was fighting with another flowgate as well.

33. Monitored Element- Tarby1 161/69kV Contingent Element- AES5 – BONTP 161kV Reason for Violating: Outage of 161kV line; this is an outlet for issue for generation. We initially violated the flowgate because unit was OOMEd (in preparation for the outage) and not dispatchable. Once we released the OOME, they did not follow dispatch or their ramp rate, so they were OOMEd again.
