NOGRR066  ERCOT WAN Connection Termination Requirement

Approved sponsor Luminant Energy posted 2011-03-09 ercot.com
ReasonThe requirement to terminate the WAN at the Market Participant’s control center was not specified in the zonal Operating Guide; it is unclear why it was added to the Nodal Operating Guide. For some Market Participants, terminating at the control center would potentially be less secure and less reliable if the control center is remote from the control system servers, applications, and data warehouse in the primary and backup data centers.
