Parallel Flow Visualization – Recent Activity • Continued Development of Finalizing Parallel Flow Visualization Permanent Solution – Items BPS is working on • Several sub-teams formed • Managing/Treatment of Pseudo Ties for generator prioritization under tag all Secondary Network Service Method • Developing Draft Recommendations/BPS Standard document • Submission of generator priorities for service over multiple TSPs. • Developing IDC support Document for PFV • Developing NERC standards/requirements support document for PFV • Minimum criteria for coordinated flowgates • Discussion with JESS if generator prioritization can be handled through e-tagging application • What Data is needed to start the parallel test • Evaluation Criteria for the parallel test (to be developed after finalizing the standard) • Issues to be addressed during full staffing/parallel test Free Template from www.brainybetty.com
Parallel Flow Visualization – Challenges • BPS by default is the forum for understanding the big picture • BPS has identified dependencies with NERC standards • BPS has no control over establishing priority of NERC standards nor can it impact the outcome • Level of detail in standards needed for full staffing • Criteria for determining success of full staffing (parallel test) • New consortium for managing IDC starting in 2013 Free Template from www.brainybetty.com
Parallel Flow Visualization – Request • BPS Working with EC Leadership for Coordination with NERC • For elevating the priority of Interchange Standard Development to tag intra-BA Point-to-Point so that NERC addresses this item within 2013. (FERC Order 693) • Modification to IRO-006-EAST to modify R.3 and R.4 to support curtailment for intra-BA Point-to-Point. • The timing for the changes to the INT and IRO standards will need to coincide with Parallel Flow Visualization moving into production. • The NERC intra-BA tagging requirements should be coordinated with the NAESB Business Practices Subcommittee’s work on Parallel Flow Visualization – start of the parallel test (to get data) Free Template from www.brainybetty.com
Parallel Flow Visualization – Next Steps • December 2012 • Complete Draft of PFV Standard/Recommendation (good enough for seeking informal industry comments) • First Quarter 2013 • Seek informal industry comments due to complexity of the issues • Address Industry comments and update the standard/recommendation • Vote to post standards/recommendation for 30-day formal comment period • Second Quarter 2013 • Develop late comments for standards/recommendation Free Template from www.brainybetty.com
