NPRR #281 · Revision Request
NPRR281 Replace 7-Day Forecast Requirement for QSEs Representing WGRs
ReasonThe market has already determined that a single forecast provided by ERCOT is more reliable than individual forecasts developed and submitted by each WGR. This is evidenced by ERCOT’s provision of the Short Term Wind-Power Forecast (STWPF) and the requirement that QSE’s representing WGRs must use this forecast in their COP for hours 1-48. It is not in the best interest of the market to require each WGR to develop a 7-day forecast. Such forecasts would be inherently unreliable and would also vary widely across WGRs.

Summary
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) eliminates the requirement that Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) representing Wind-powered Generation Resources (WGRs) must provide a 7-day forecast in their COP. Instead, for hours 49-168, QSEs representing WGRs shall, using their best estimate enter a High Sustained Limit which may be based on the wind power profile as published on the ERCOT website.
