Multiple Interconnection for GeneratorsMIG TF Bob Wittmeyer 512 762 8895
MIG TF Charter Examine and investigate the reliability, and market, impacts as well as the interconnection processes/procedures for Generation Units with more than one interconnection in the ERCOT Market. MIG will issue a whitepaper to WMS/ROS at their December meetings Goal MIG will issue a whitepaper to ROS/WMS containing a list of: • Reliability concerns and mitigation actions, • Market pros and cons, • Policy/Planning issues related to the interconnection process, for generation units with multiple interconnections in ERCOT. For ROS/WMS Approval DRAFT
Where we are • Answers to most initial questions were sent out to WMS/ROS. • Few questions still under review • White paper is being developed • On Schedule for Final presentation in December (Draft in November).
General Direction • Existing Protocols pretty well cover MIG’s today. • Some refinement/clarification will be required • Expect that ERCOT will have the ability to direct a MIG to a specific point during an “ERCOT emergency” • Expect a MIG will be able to request a specific point of interconnection with Notice {still being worked on but current book ends between 3 – 90 Days - (30-90 more likely)}. • (Book ends will be a decision point for WMS/ROS (Dec 09)). • PCRR eligible units will be locked to Sept 99 date not only for Commercial Date, but also Generation Interconnect Node. • New Interconnects will follow SGIA guidelines, just like any other new unit (no priority). • A MIG will likely face the risk of CCN Approval for inclusion in TCOS, before the TSP will build the second point of interconnection.
