FAQ Q: Can I self-commit my resource a partial day and submit startup costs for other hours? A: No. For example, if you attempt to self-commit hours 7-22, but submit startup/min energy offers for hours 1-6, 23-24, the offer is accepted structured this way, but hours 7-22 are not considered self-committed by the DAM and the clearing behavior will reflect a non-self-committed offer. Meaning, if there is no overlap with the LSL/HSL in the COP in the energy offer curve, that makes the energy offer curve invalid for use in the DAM. If there is an online AS Offer for the same resource, the QSE can be awarded energy at LSL in conjunction with the AS Offer. Note that this can cause a QSE to be awarded above the submitted energy offer curve. Q: Can I self-commit my share of a JOU if the other owners submit startup costs? A: No. Similar to the answer above, the energy offer curve will be accepted, but will be invalid for award by DAM if there is no overlap with the HSL/LSL in the COP. If the offer is invalid, the physical resource cannot be awarded. In this scenario, all owners have to self-commit or all owners have to submit full TPOs to be awarded. http://nodal.ercot.com 11
