NPRR339  Modifications to Heuristic Rules to Determine LMP at De-energized Electrical Bus and Treatment of CRR Offers at De-energized Settlement Points

Approved Urgent sponsor ERCOT posted 2011-03-17 ercot.com
Reason(a) The current Protocol language for determining the LMP at de-energized Electrical Buses using heuristic rules prevents ERCOT from correcting the LMP when the heuristic rules fail under certain scenarios. This NPRR will allow ERCOT the ability to quickly respond to correct deficiencies found in the heuristic rules to determine LMPs at de-energized Electrical Buses.(b) Currently, CRR offers submitted at de-energized Settlement Points are not awarded in the DAM, no matter what the clearing prices are, and the CRRs settle at Real-Time prices. This NPRR provides that CRR offers submitted at de-energized Settlement Points will always settle at Day-Ahead prices. This is consistent with the treatment of PTP Obligation bids in the DAM, which are not awarded in this scenario, such that no Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) can purchase a Real-Time congestion hedge when either the source or sink Settlement Point is de-energized in the DAM.
