  1. Demand Response Reserve Pilot Project (DRR Pilot) Markets Committee March 24, 2005

  2. Statement of the Problem • Some DR resources that are willing and able to provide reserve products may not be able to participate in the Ancillary Service Market • The proposed ASM design requires reserve resources: • Be at least 5 MW • Receive dispatch instructions via a RIG and comply with OP-18 telemetering requirements • Typical demand response (DR) resources are small and dispersed • In New England, most DR resources are less than 5 MW • The cost of installing and maintaining a RIG and complying with OP-18 requirements is not cost-effective or practical • Some DR resources have operating characteristics that differ from typical generators

  3. Objectives of the DRR Pilot • Demonstrate whether customer loads can reliably provide 30-minute operating reserve and 10-minute non-synchronized reserve • Determine the requirements for communications, dispatch, metering, and telemetry sufficient for DR resources to provide reserve services • Identify and evaluate lower cost communications and telemetry solutions that meet the requirements and are more suitable for DR reserve resources

  4. End State • Assuming acceptable DR resource performance, fully integrate DR resources into the market and system operations: • Modify market rules and requirements where necessary • Implement functionally equivalent dispatch and telemetry alternative for DR resources • Upgrade System Operations and Settlement software where necessary • DRR Pilot terminates when integration is complete • Assuming unacceptable DR resource performance, immediately terminate the DRR Pilot

  5. Process to Date • September 29, 2004 – Presentation to the NEPOOL Markets Committee by Tom Atkins of Pinpoint Power outlining alternative approaches for DR participation in the Forward Reserve Market • Demand Response Working Group (DRWG) and ISO New England commences development of DRR Pilot • Presentations to NEPOOL Markets Committee on: • 11/10/2004; 01/11/2005; 02/08/2005 • The DRR Pilot Design Basis Document (the subject of today’s meeting) reflects consensus of the DRWG

  6. Project Details • DRR Pilot consists of two related sub-projects: • Sub-Project 1 (DR Performance Evaluation): Evaluate DR resource performance in response to reserve activation events • Sub-Project 2 (Alternative Dispatch and Telemetry): Identify and develop a functionally equivalent dispatch and telemetry alternative for DR resources

  7. Sub-Project 1 Details(DR Performance Evaluation) – 1 • Performance Evaluation Period – 1 year • Program Size – Total of 50 MWs. Resources from among three resource types would be recruited: • On-site generation • Weather-dependent load (e.g., air conditioning) • Non-weather-dependent load (e.g., manufacturing processes) • DR Resource Size – preference given to resources less than 5 MW; allow aggregations within a zone

  8. Sub-Project 1 Details(DR Performance Evaluation) – 2 • Enrollment – Participating resources must enroll in 30-Minute RTDR Program • Availability • Seasonal: Forward Reserve Market procurement period • Daily: Business days 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Dispatch • Resources dispatched during ISO-NE Reportable Events • To the extent Reportable Events do not cover all important DR test conditions, additional events may be called to test such conditions

  9. Sub-Project 1 Details(DR Performance Evaluation) – 3 • Metering & Communication – requires use of the IBCS-OS, as defined in Manual M-LRP • Performance Measurement for Settlement Purposes – determined in same manner as existing DR programs • Payments • Availability Payment • Performance Payment • Performance Penalties • Loss of Availability Payment • Replacement Energy Payment

  10. Sub-Project 1 Details(DR Performance Evaluation) – 4 • Allocation of Program Costs • Availability Payment • Pro rata based upon Participant's share of previous month's ISO Tariff charges under schedule 1,2, & 3 • Energy Payment • Real-Time Load Obligation Deviation in appropriate Load Zone • Penalties charged to DR participants would be credited back to parties allocated to pay

  11. Sub-Project 2 Details(Alternative Dispatch and Telemetry) – 1 • Evaluate low-cost, two-way communication alternatives • Define requirements for communication frequency, latency, security, reliability, adaptability to interface to current ISO systems, etc. • A separate white paper is being developed by System Operations to further define the above-mentioned requirements.

  12. Sub-Project 2 Details(Alternative Dispatch and Telemetry) – 2 • Conduct research to determine what existing systems might potentially fulfill the requirements • Depending on the outcome of the above-mentioned research: • Modify existing ISO-NE systems to meet the requirements, and/or • Develop and issue an RFP to produce proposals that meet the identified requirements • If an RFP is developed and issued, evaluate responses to the RFP including the functionalities and cost consequences of the proposed solutions
