New Resource Implementation & Market Modeling

1 New Resource Implementation & Market Modeling Resource Interconnection Fair February 24, 2016 Page 1

2 Topics Discuss the New Resource Implementation (NRI) process. Structure and timeline for any resource required to or electing to participate in the CAISO commercial market. Review requirements to incorporate projects into the ISO energy market (Full Network Model) Including all expansions, like increasing MW outputs after study processes are complete, or changing fuel mixes. Review requirements for Qualifying Facilities (QFs) and conversions with expiring agreements. Page 2

3 Interconnection Process Map You are here The New Resource Implementation (NRI) process ensures that all ISO requirements are completed: For initial synchronization, or To declare that a resource for commercial operation QF and other types of conversions Resources seeking wholesale market participation, but not required to complete the ISO interconnection process, will start with NRI processes. Examples could include: Distribution-connected resources, QF and other types of conversions Page 3

5 Function of the Bucket and File naming System Buckets represent a group of required submittals Buckets represent NRI checklist items that must be accepted (not merely received) by the respective bucket due date Buckets dates are derived by working backward from the sync, QF completion, or conversion date reminders are sent if a bucket deliverables have not been accepted File Naming (of attachments) Filenames are specifically designed for automated identification Ensure files are routed to the appropriate business unit for reviews and acceptabnce Automatically checks off the bucket item when accepted. Page 5

6 Tips for success: NRI document submission Review the NRI Guide and Checklist Start the NRI process early and submit documents before bucket dates Include your CAISO Project number (e.g. 16GEN1234) One project per Multiple attachments per per project are okay sender must be listed on the Project Details Form Follow the file naming convention in the NRI Guide Please read the responses from NRI We are here to help - ask questions! Page 6

7 Live, learn, and love your buckets. Accurate documents submitted well ahead of bucket deadline: Inaccurate documents submitted at the last minute without reviewing requirements in advance of submission: Page 7

8 Buckets timeline and recent process changes NRI deliverables are collected in 6 buckets As of Feb. 24, 2016, the number of buckets shrank, however: More deliverables are associated with Bucket 1, and Bucket 1 now collects what used to be collected in Buckets 1 & 2 Page 8

9 Getting Started First step of the NRI process: Submit a Project Details Form no less than 7 months in advance of your estimated initial sync, QF, or conversion date Your project will be assigned a NRI project number Example: 16GEN1234 Use the Project Details Form to update: Project Description Initial Sync, QF, or conversion date addresses (to designate recipient of project progress reports and to allow an authorized user to submit documentation to NRI) Page 9

10 Bucket 1: Full Network Model Preparation Deliverables are required to: Create a Market Resource ID Essential for participation in the ISO market; Satisfy requirements for Direct Telemetry (if applicable). Bucket 1 items include: Copy of executed two-party Interconnection Agreement Issued For Construction (IFC), single-line, & three-line drawings Communication Block Diagram, Network Application information, Other itesm (See NRI checklist and guide for complete listing) For wind projects only: Submit Site Information document and Topographical map Page 10

11 Bucket 2: Regulatory Contracts, Forecasting Information and Model Testing Initiate the applicable ISO Regulatory Contracts The type of contracts required for a project depends on the project type (New resource, QF, Dynamic, etc.). RegulatoryContracts@caiso.com for questions about specific contract types. Submit the initial Generator Resource Data Template (GRDT) Resource characteristics recorded in the GRDT are necessary for preliminary modeling of the resource. Meter Configuration Worksheet For Initial set up the meter(s) in the meter polling system For solar projects only Submit Site Information document and Topographical map Page 11

12 Bucket 3: Market Preparation Bucket 3 Deliverables: Regulatory contracts fully executed Final GRDT submitted The Interconnection Customer (IC) submits a copy of the SC Selection Letter The SC signs the SC Acceptance Letter, routes to the IC, and the IC submits A resource cannot synchronize or participate in the ISO markets without an SC association. Page 12

13 Bucket 3: Market Preparation (cont.) Bucket 3 Deliverables (cont): Control & Protection documentation If directly connected to CAISO transmission (projects with an ISO Queue Number) Final Meter and Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG) requirements: Pre-testing confirmed, Schedule end-to-end test with CAISO Submit signed security agreement(s) Page 13

14 Bucket 4: Trial Operations Approval, or a Resource Requesting Sync, QF Transition or Conversion For New Construction Buckets 1-3 are completed Testing Completed Must provide connected utility approval letter WebOMS Outage for test energy Send NRI Request to Sync with subject line in specific format: e.g. 14GEN1234 Request for Initial Synchronization Still to do: Complete Buckets 5 and 6 For QF or Conversions Buckets 1-3 are completed Testing completed IC and SC coordinate transition of settlement data Send NRI Request to Sync with subject line in specific format: e.g. Request for QF Conversion for (Project Name) 14GEN1234 Telemetry error free for 72 hours Final Metering Documents & Meter Data Validation Certificate of Compliance issued by ISO Hurray! You re Done with NRI Page 14

15 Bucket 5: Trial Operations (After Sync & Before COD) During Trial Operations: SCs must follow Operating Procedure 5320 Metering and telemetry data are monitored to ensure data quality meets CAISO standards 72 uninterrupted hours of error-free telemetry required Final metering documents are reviewed and accepted, and validation is completed. Then, a Certificate of Compliance will be issued. Trial Operations biggest show stoppers: Final metering documentation issues MET station problems Page 15

16 Bucket 6: Commercial Operation Date (COD) or Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) Process for declaring commercial operation after Trial Operations is complete: Commercial Operations Date (COD) Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) IC: Request COD IC: Request COM IC: Sends to NRI requesting COD. IC: Sends to NRI requesting COM and subject line in specific format. e.g. COD Request accompanies request with COM implementation plan. Approval for [Project Name] 14GEN12 subject line in specific format. e.g. COM Request Approval for [Project Name] 14GEN1234 SC: follow Operating Procedure 5320 SC: follow Operating Procedure 5320 ISO: 72 hours monitoring of metering and telemetry ISO: 72 hours monitoring of metering and telemetry data ensure data quality meets CAISO standards. data ensure data quality meets CAISO standards. ISO: Internal business units confirm that the market, ISO: Internal business units confirm that the market, operational readiness, real-time and the UDC or PTO operational readiness, real-time and the UDC or PTO is ready. is ready. NRI: sends an to the IC that provides a declaration date for the commercial operations date. NRI: will send an to the IC that provides a declaration date for the first commercial operations for market. Page 16

17 Bucket 6: Commercial Operation Date (COD) or Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) Commercial Operations Date (COD) No equivalent action for COD No equivalent action for COD No equivalent action for COD No equivalent action for COD Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) IC Actions, for each declaration: 1. Attach and a COM declaration letter before 9am for same day declaration, or for a later date, but no sooner than the date stated in the ISO If changed, attach an updated COM plan to the same . SC: Updates WebOMS outage by following Operating Procedure NRI: sends an confirming the increase. This process is repeated until you ve reached the full COD amount. Page 17

18 Bucket 6: Commercial Operation Date (COD) and Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) Commercial Operations Date (COD) NRI: No futher action required IC Action: Attach and a COD declaration letter before 9am for same day declaration, but no sooner than the date stated in the above. NRI: sends an confirming the declaration Hurray you re done with NRI!!!! Commercial Operation for Markets (COM) NRI: No futher action required IC Action: Attach and a COD declaration letter before 9am for same day declaration, but no sooner than the date stated in the above. NRI: sends an confirming the declaration Hurray you re done with NRI!!!! Page 18
