Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC –Test Overview & Setup Why? The Two Hour test will: –Provide a system-wide closed loop test using Nodal dispatch signals –Provide an opportunity to perfect switching Generation Resources from Zonal control to Nodal The switching sequence perfected during the 2-Hour LFC Test will be used as the switching template for the 8-Hour and 48-Hour LFC Tests ERCOT is anticipating approximately 30 minutes of nodal frequency control during the 2-Hour LFC Test –Test ERCOT’s ability to perform frequency control for a short period using LFC to calculate and dispatch Regulation –Test SCED’s ability to manage network congestion using the Nodal EMS Transmission Constraint Management application (TCM) –Provide a real-time full integration test of SCED and LFC generation dispatch
6
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC –Test Overview & Setup How? During the 2-Hour LFC Test: –Zonal and Nodal systems will continue to operate in parallel –Generation Resources will be switched by QSE portfolio from Zonal to Nodal and vice versa –SCED will provide Base Points and manage congestion –LFC will control frequency and provide Regulation dispatch instructions –TCM will be used for activating constraints for SCED –The market will settle in accordance with the provisions for EDS 3 R6.3 testing described in the Zonal Protocols (reference PRR 748, Settlement during EDS 3 LFC Testing):PRR 748 Section 6.8.2.3, Energy Payments Section 7.4.3.1, Balancing Energy Up from a Specific Resource Section 7.4.3.2, Balancing Energy Down from a Specific Resource

Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup How? Two hours is an ERCOT estimate for the anticipated total time it will take to switch all QSE Resources to Nodal and then to switch them all back to Zonal Depending on the test progression or any unplanned conditions, the 2-Hour LFC Test may extend beyond the planned two hours The necessary Verbal Dispatch Instructions (VDIs) will be in place and extended as needed if the test exceeds the allotted two hours If the switching of QSEs to Nodal does not progress as expected, or if other unplanned circumstances arise, ERCOT may choose to end the test by switching all QSEs back to Zonal as soon as possible
8
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup Unit Commitment (Zonal system) Unit commitment will be managed in the Zonal system. For this reason it is crucial that the Zonal system continues to operate as normal in parallel with the Nodal system during the 2-Hour LFC Test SCED does not require RUC to be operating to produce Base Points. SCED will use Resources’ net MW, telemetered Resource Status Code, and telemetered Resource limits to determine availability for dispatch in Nodal If a unit is coming online or going offline in Zonal, the QSE must update their Energy Offer Curves (EOCs), Output Schedules, telemetered Resource Status Codes, and telemetered Resource limits in the Nodal system. Otherwise SCED may not be able to dispatch them accordingly
9
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup Regulation Deployment (Nodal system) Regulation will be deployed by the Nodal system from LFC –QSEs’ capability to receive and dispatch Regulation was tested in Market Trials Phase 4 testing It is important that QSEs telemeter the correct Regulation Responsibilities and Regulation Participation Factors –The accuracy of this data is critical for LFC to control frequency The Regulation Responsibilities in Nodal must reflect the QSE’s Zonal Regulation Obligation. QSEs must keep the Regulation Responsibilities up to date with each hour –Whenever a Resource is not able to respond to Regulation, the QSE must reallocate that Resource’s Responsibility to another Resource in the portfolio, if possible ERCOT will be tracking each QSE and their Resources’ MW output and comparing it to the Nodal Expected MW output, which is based on Updated Desired Base Point (UDBP) and Regulation Participation Factors
10
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup Regulation Deployment (Nodal system) QSEs must telemeter their 10-minute Zonal requirement in Nodal This will ensure the full amount of awarded Regulation is available to LFC for dispatch during the test ERCOT will honor the ten-minute ramp rate during the test by modifying the LFC Regulation calculation (ten instead of five minutes ramp) and by temporarily modifying the SCED-Up Ramp Rate (SURAMP) and SCED-Down Ramp Rate (SDRAMP) calculated by the Resource Limit Calculator (RLC) Therefore: SURAMP = Normal Ramp Rate – (Regulation Up AS Responsibility / 10) SDRAMP = Normal Ramp Rate – (Regulation Down AS Responsibility / 10) LFC will calculate Regulation to be deployed over a 10-minute ramp rate rather than a 5-minute ramp rate
11
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup Responsive Reserve Service (RRS) Deployment (Nodal and Zonal system) RRS communication was tested as part of the individual QSE testing in Market Trials Phase 4 –QSEs were deployed a Responsive Reserve Deployment MW value, which they used to update their Responsive Reserve Ancillary Service (AS) Schedules for individual Resources SCED will also be manually or automatically triggered to run “out of normal sequence” (not on the 5-minute time period) to dispatch new Base Points as soon as possible and help recover system frequency QSEs must make sure that their telemetered Responsive Reserve AS Responsibilities and Schedules for each of their Resources in Nodal are correct and reflective of their current Zonal Responsive Reserve Obligation
12
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup RRS Deployment (Nodal and Zonal system) Responsive Reserve will be deployed from Nodal Zonal will also continue to deploy Responsive Reserve This can be triggered manually by the operator or automatically (frequency < 59.91Hz) in either system If a QSE has not switched to Nodal, they should follow the Zonal deployment If a QSE has switched to Nodal, they must update the Responsive Reserve schedules and continue to follow their Nodal deployments.
13
Lead from the front Texas Nodal Version 2.0 http://nodal.ercot.com LFC – Test Overview & Setup Non-Spin Deployment (Zonal system) If required, Non-Spin will be deployed from the Zonal system during the 2-Hour LFC Test QSEs are requested to keep their telemetered Resource Status Codes, Non- Spin Responsibilities, and Non-Spin Schedules in Nodal reflective of their Zonal Non-Spin obligation After Zonal Non-Spin deployment, QSEs must also update their Nodal EOCs, Output Schedules, Telemetered Resource Status Codes, and Resource Limits in preparation for Resources coming online so that SCED can dispatch Resources appropriately once they become available
