QSE Qualification Call Overview: Market Trials 2010 Roadmap


Market Trials 2.1 Connectivity Testing – How’d We Do?

• QSE MMS Submission Qualification Statistics:– 160 / 292 Total QSEs Qualified as of 6:30 pm 1/27/2010

• 64 / 114 QSEs w/ Resources (includes sub-QSEs)– 78.77% of generation currently qualified– MPs unqualified by today will continue to work with ERCOT Account Managers and

the Market Trials support team– Note that the scorecard will not be updated until 2/10/2010 – there is still time to

prevent going amber / red on the qualification metric

• CRRAH Qualification Statistics– 41 / 80 Total registered CRRAHs Qualified as of 6:30 pm 1/27/2010

• Common Issues– Listener set ups– Connectivity (e.g. security)– MPs implementing new Certifying Authorities (CAs) not in the ERCOT supported list

• Note that ERCOT is now in a position to add CAs on a by request basis– Incorrect role assignments



Phase 3.0 Testing Objective and Scope

• Scope: Phase 3 of Market Trials will exercise the following functionality in the NPROD, Market facing environment:– SCED inputs and outputs– Outage Scheduling (OS) submittals (for purposes of qualification)– CRR auction, trading and invoicing– LFC generator tests– RTM / LFC / CRR / OS related reports

• Objective of Market Trials Phase 3:– LMPs: Establish reasonable LMPs and start 6 Month LMP posting– Qualify QSEs and TSPs on their ability to submit, update and query

outages – Begin CRR monthly auctions and invoicing– Qualify QSEs ability to move generation based on ERCOT

instructions (individual generator LFC tests)– Post reports to MIS related to in scope activities



• Scope of Phase 3.0 MMS (Market Management System) will be limited to the following transactions and MMS Phase 1 validations (which are detailed in the Explanation of Market Submission Items document found at http://nodal.ercot.com/readiness/mt21/index.html):– Real-Time

• Current Operating Plan• Energy Offer Curve• Output Schedules• Incremental / Decremental Offer Curves• getReports• See RTM / LFC handbook for available market information queries

• Additionally, ERCOT will also support the following transactions in MMS in support of continued qualification activities– Day-Ahead / Other submission

• Three Part Offers• Ancillary Service Offers• Energy-only Offers and Bids• Trades (Energy, Ancillary Service, Capacity)• Self-Arranged Ancillary Services• CRR Offers• PTP Obligation Bids• Self Schedules• Resource Parameters


• Outage Scheduler will support the following transaction submittals:TSP

• Planned• Remedial Switching Action• Forced• Maintenance 1• Maintenance 2• Maintenance 3• Simple• Group

QSE• Planned • Forced• Maintenance 1• Maintenance 2• Maintenance 3

• CRR will support all transaction submittal types for bidding and trading



Phase 3.0 Connectivity Testing Objective and Scope (continued)

• Telemetry Support

– Focused Input Testing Windows have ceased as of 1/4/2010

– Telemetry will be reviewed on a daily basis for missing points and data quality

– A periodic dashboard will be posted to the ERCOT Nodal Readiness Center under Real Time Market / LFC for point in time telemetry issues http://nodal.ercot.com/readiness/markettrials/rtm/index.html


Release 3.0 Connectivity Testing Objective and Scope (continued)

• Out of Scope (not limited to the following) :

– Functionality not related to in-scope Market Trials activities• Examples of out of scope features

– Running Day Ahead Market (DAM)

– Reports not listed in the Market Trials Handbooks under Phase 3

– Areas of MIS not related to Phase 3 scope as defined in the Market Trials Handbooks• Although other systems and features may be included in the release for this phase, ERCOT

continues to perform testing on these and will not be supported• Additionally, ERCOT will continue performance testing

– There may still be performance related issues– ERCOT will communicate these via the Friday Market Calls– If necessary (frequently occurring issues) a market notice will be sent to the Nodal PMs

contact list

– Settlements (with the exception of CRR Auction invoices)– Examples of data that will be stubbed in and not yet integrated

• Credit • Verifiable costs• Some registration data not impacting Phase 3 scope• Dynamically Scheduled Resources (DSR) and AS Qualification status


Nodal Production Environment - ERCOT Support

• Nodal Production Environment Status– Phase 3 is the second major release of the Nodal Production Environment– ERCOT continues to perform Integration and Performance Testing– It is expected that issues will be found during Phase 3 by both, ERCOT and

Market Participants

• Supported days / hours for Market Trials Phase 3– The Nodal Production environment is still considered a test environment,

consequently it will be necessary to bring the environment down periodically to perform maintenance and patch releases to the software

– The following bullets details the supported days and hours ERCOT is actively supporting and monitoring the environment

– The Nodal Production environment will remain accessible outside of these support windows, however there is no guarantee of system stability or accessibility

– February 2010• ALL SYSTEMS: Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm

– March 2010• CRR, Outage Scheduler, MMS (as it related to market submissions): Monday through Friday

from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm• Telemetry / EMS, SCED: 7x24


Nodal Production Environment - ERCOT Support

• Outage and Restoration

– In the event of an outage or significant degradation in performance during an active support window, ERCOT will send a market notice followed by periodic status updates as they are available.

– The expected restoration time for outages will be on a ‘as soon as possible’ basis

Note that planned environment outages outside the active support window will be communicated as appropriate on a weekly basis during the Friday Market Participant calls

Nodal Telemetry OutreachStacy Bridges

Nodal Telemetry Outreach

42

Background:• The current Nodal Telemetry Outreach effort has two tracks:

• Missing Telemetry Effort:• ERCOT is working with QSEs and TSPs to help resolve issues

related to missing telemetry• Point lists identifying missing telemetry are queried and

distributed to QSEs/TSPs following each nodal database load (~bi-weekly)

• Quality Telemetry Effort:• Customized reports identifying quality issues are taken from a

daily SCED Telemetry Report and communicated to QSEs• Communications identifying quality issues are going to the QSE

ICCP contacts and nodal Project Managers• ERCOT is requesting that ICCP contacts respond to quality

issues within 24 hours


43

Missing Telemetry Update (QSEs):

• Status of requested State Estimator Telemetry:– Only 6 out of 3649 requested SE points remain unresolved (99% SE

points provided)• Status of requested SCED Telemetry:

– 634 requested SCED points remain unresolved

Nodal Telemetry Outreach Update

Common Data Quality Issues:Common quality issues identified on the SCED Telemetry Report:

• Telemetry that remains to be mapped at ERCOT• Incorrect Resource Status• Generation>HSL; Generation<LSL• Negative Ancillary Service values (primarily for Responsive and Non-

Spinning Reserve)• Stale telemetry values

Data Quality Inquiries Welcome:QSEs that have yet to receive a data-quality outreach from ERCOT may still have

quality issues that need to be addressed. QSEs may inquire about any issues reflected in the daily SCED Telemetry Report by submitting an email to [email protected] (please include “SCED Telemetry Report” in the subject line).

As common telemetry-quality issues continue to be reported, ERCOT will work to identify a tracking mechanism to support progress indicators and/or scorecard metrics.


Slide 45

Date ERCOT ActivitiesJan 29 • ERCOT begins distributing the next series of point lists

identifying missing nodal points (based upon the Jan 22 nodal database load)

• ERCOT updates the QSE Telemetry Dashboard on the Readiness Center (will include measurements for SCED as well as State Estimator)

• ERCOT posts the first TSP Telemetry Dashboard to the Readiness Center

Feb 1 • ERCOT’s goal is to have all nodal telemetry completed by Feb 1, 2010
