NPRR829  Incorporate Real-Time Non-Modeled Telemetered Net Generation by Load Zone into the Estimate of RTL

Approved sponsor Enchanted Rock / Electranet QSE I, LLC posted 2017-04-26 ercot.com
ReasonCurrently it is difficult for non-modeled generation to hedge in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) due to potential superfluous collateral calls during high priced Real-Time Market (RTM) events. Using telemetered data from non-modeled generation will allow ERCOT to more accurately calculate QSE collateral requirements. This NPPR will increase DAM liquidity due to increased participation of non-modeled generation in the DAM. Implementing this NPRR has the potential to allow ERCOT to gain near Real-Time transparency into non-modeled generation which could increase their ability in analyzing Real-Time system conditions. Furthermore, ERCOT will better understand the true position of the QSE by Operating Day and will also better understand their cash flow.

Summary
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) provides a mechanism for a Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) with non-modeled generation to inform ERCOT in a timely manner the net generation to the ERCOT grid from their Non-Modeled Generators so that the output can be considered in the estimate of RTL. Absent this NPRR, output from Non-Modeled Generators is not included in estimating the QSE’s RTL, and the QSE is required to post a superfluous amount of collateral.
