NPRR1136  Updates to Language Regarding a QSE Moving Ancillary Service Responsibility Between Resources

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) makes changes to reflect the logic that will be in place after the implementation of Fast Frequency Response (FFR) Advancement project, the next phase of implementation for NPRR863, Creation of ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service and Revisions to Responsive Reserve. Specifically, the NPRR adds new paragraph (5) of Section 4.4.7.3 to align with language in Section 6.4.7. These changes are for clarity only, and do not modify the system design. The new paragraph (6) of Section 4.4.7.3 is an additional check that needs to be in place to ensure a QSE does not replace a Regulation Service with Fast Responding Regulation Service (FRRS). This section does not need to be addressed in the FFR Advancement implementation, and it is ERCOT’s intent to implement this logic change in a future project.
