  33. NERC Interchange Subcommittee Report 0845 Don Lacen Public Service Company of New Mexico

  34. Interchange Subcommittee MeetingNovember 16–18, 2005 Don Lacen- WECC ISAS Liaison

  35. Joint Interchange Scheduling Working Group Report • NERC/NAESB, JISWG Co-Chair Bob Harshbarger reviewed e-tag enhancements the JISWG is considering. The enhancements are: • Adding a mechanism that prevents one balancing authority (BA) from reloading or curtailing a transaction above another balancing authority’s reliability limit. • Adding approval rights of purchasing selling entities (PSEs) listed as “owners” of transmission rights who are not the tag author. Transmission customers will get an opportunity to approve the tag, if listed as the owner on the transmission segments of the tag. • Adding tag path validation as a tag agent/authority function based on registration of point of receipt (POR)/point of delivery (POD) adjacency, SE responsibility, TP responsibility, etc. • Reviewing the twenty-four hour limit to modify tags. Currently an entity can only modify a tag one hour in the past. Some would like to open up the window from one hour to possibly two hours back.

  36. Joint Interchange Scheduling Working Group Report • Adding a Net MWH hour checkout feature to e-tagging. • Adding standardized Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema to communicate alternate energy supply (i.e., reserves) in the event of a loss of generation resources. The capacity tag was not well defined or used by most vendors. Capacity tags will be better defined in the e-tag specification change. • Adding a rounding specification to e-tag that deals with handling partial MWH rounding. • Improving the e-tag feature “Emergency”. • Improving the e-tag feature “Withdrawn”. • Improving counter party reporting. • Reviewing passive approval features to determine if changes are needed.

  37. Joint Interchange Scheduling Working Group ReportNERC/NAESB, JISWG Co-Chair Bob Harshbarger • The JISWG asked the Interchange Subcommittee how to update the e-tag specification. The subcommittee believes that the JISWG should be the technical group that recommends changes to the e-tag specification, and then the subcommittee will review and approve the changes. The subcommittee members believe they should review all e-tag specification changes. After review, the subcommittee will recommend e-tag changes to the Operating Committee for final approval. The subcommittee will review the reliability impacts of changes to the e-tag specification and compare those changes to the Interchange Reliability Standards requirements.

  38. Joint Interchange Scheduling Working Group ReportNERC/NAESB, JISWG Co-Chair Bob Harshbarger • The Interchange Subcommittee assigned the JISWG to rewrite the e-tag specification so that it incorporates functional model terminology of the current Interchange standards. The subcommittee informed Mr. Harshbarger that the e-tag enhancements the JISWG are working on need to be written separately so the subcommittee can review the enhancements impact on the e-tag specification separately from the assigned e-tag rewrite. The subcommittee also asked the JISWG to compare the e-tag specification to INT-001-0 through INT-004-0 standards, to ensure that the specification matches the approved reliability standards. The subcommittee chair also explained the JISWG will need to revisit the e-tag specification after the coordinate interchange standards INT-001-1 through INT-010-1 are approved.

  39. Transaction Information System Working Group • Mr. Boesch led the discussion on the future of the Transaction Information System Working Group (TISWG). The TISWG has not met since 2003 and the JISWG has a similar scope. JISWG is a joint group facilitated by NERC and NAESB so the common needs of both reliability and business can efficiently be developed. JISWG submits NERC standards authorization requests (SARs) or NAESB business practice requests, as appropriate. Don Lacen, PNM, moved that the Interchange Subcommittee dissolve the Transaction Information System Working Group and assign its work to the JISWG. The subcommittee approved Mr. Lacen’s motion.

  40. Current Standards • There is a need to correct conflicts between the e-tag specification and standards INT-001, 002, and 004. The subcommittee intends to submit a SAR to fix these conflicts and suggest compliance measures. • Actions: • The Interchange Subcommittee secretary will draft revisions and requirements to INT- 001-0 through INT-004-0 and send them to the subcommittee, including the changes from Mr. Boesch for INT- 001-0, 002-0, and 004-0. • The Interchange Subcommittee will determine the correct modification to INT-004-0 to address the error between the e-tag specification and INT-004-0 regarding “Passive Approval” at its next meeting.

  41. Dynamic Transfer Catalog • We discussed questions on the Dynamic Transfer Catalog. Parties asked whether they should report future transfers or just active transfers. The subcommittee agreed that the catalog should be a “snapshot” of active transfers and it will confirm with the IDCWG that the pseudo-ties are being modeled in the IDC. • Actions: • The NERC staff will collect the catalog survey forms from the regions and bring them to the next meeting. The Interchange Subcommittee secretary will assist in determining what fields may need to be blocked out so that the data can be discussed with the Operating Reliability Subcommittee and Resource Subcommittee within NERC’s confidentiality agreement.
