NPRR1270  Additional Revisions Required for Implementation of RTC

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR): Updates requirements for Load Resources that are changing under Real-Time Co-optimization (RTC) and were not updated in earlier revisions; removes language associated with Group assignments in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM); deployments are Resource-specific based on Real-Time awards; no requirement to return to service in three hours as that capacity will be replaced with awarded capacity in Real-Time; eliminates the automatic qualification of all Resources to provide On-Line Non-Spinning Reserve (Non-Spin) and Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED)-dispatchable ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service (ECRS). Resources will be required to undergo a qualification test to provide each of these services; and adds additional pre-processing checks in the SCED process to validate Ancillary Service capability telemetry that are sent by Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs).
