Dynamic Transfers

• There are two types:– Dynamic Schedules– Pseudo-Ties

• For the purposes of this presentation, we are considering a traditional bilateral world.

Dynamic TransfersWECC MIC MeetingOctober 13, 2011

Dynamic Schedules

• Proposed NERC definition:– A time-varying energy transfer that is updated

in real time and included in the Net Interchange Scheduled term in the same manner as an Interchange Schedule in the affected Balancing Authorities’ control ACE equations (or alternate control processes).

• Typically used in the Southwest

Pseudo-Ties

• Proposed NERC definition:– A time-varying energy transfer that is updated

in real time and included in the Net Interchange Actual term in the same manner as a Tie Line in the affected Balancing Authorities’ control ACE equations (or alternate control processes)

• Typically used in the Northwest

Common Items

• Both types use a dynamic transfer signal

• Both type apply the signal to certain ACE equation components

• Both types require transmission arrangements from Source to Sink

• Both types support “capacity with energy up and down” transactions

UnCommon Items

• Various services maybe required by “host” or “Native” BA for dynamic schedules but not necessarily for pseudo-ties.

e-Tags and Dynamic Transfers• The tag is just a front, a representation, a place-

holder• Dynamic Schedule e-Tags do not impact

Scheduled Interchange before the fact or in real-time

• The tag does not control the dynamic MWs so e-Tag curtailments will not on their own limit or change the dynamic transfer signal

• Dynamic Schedule e-Tags will impact after-the-fact Scheduled Interchange values, so ATF adjustments are needed

Dynamic TransfersWECC MIC MeetingOctober 13, 2011

What is DSS?• Dynamic Scheduling System – a special

infrastructure to facilitate multiple shorter-term deals

• The DSS e-Tag “programs” or sets-up the communications and other aspects of the deal

• The tag does not control the dynamic MWs• e-Tag curtailments are respected by DSS • DSS provides the after-the-fact Scheduled

Interchange values

What are Dynamic Transfer Limits?

• Amount of MW transfer determines the receiving end voltage

• For large transfers, voltage management is critical to system reliability

• Can impact automatic and manual switching of reactive devices and Remedial Action Scheme arming
