Agenda

FERC Order 755

Operating Procedures to Change for Order 755

Revisit OP-14: Generator & SOG Definition

Question and Answer

FERC ORDER 755Regulation Market & Alternative Technology Regulation Resources

4

FERC Order 755

• Directs RTOs and ISOs to select and dispatch resources in an economically efficient manner to meet regulation requirements at least cost, subject to reliability requirements.

• Enable Regulation Market participation beyond just Generators.

5

ISO Implementation Objectives

• Define new Asset, Alternative Technology Regulation Resource (ATRR), with Operational and Reliability requirements.

• Update ISO Operating Procedure Documents to include the new ATRR asset where appropriate.

• Enable participation of an ATRR in the Regulation Market

OPS TO EVALUATE FOR ORDER 755

7

OPs to Evaluate for Order 755

• OP-1: Central Dispatch Operating Responsibility and Authority of ISO New England, the Local Control Centers and Market Participants

• OP-5: Generator and Dispatchable Asset Related Demand Maintenance and Outage Scheduling for Outages

• OP-8: Operating Reserve and Regulation

• OP-14: Technical Requirements for Generators, Demand Resources and Asset Related Demands

• OP-18: Metering and Telemetering Criteria

Redlines planned for Jan 2014 RC review

OP-14 REVISIT: GENERATOR DEFINEDDetermining between a Generator and SOG

Term Review: Generating Facility

As defined in OATT: Schedule 22/23

Generating Facility shall mean Interconnection Customer’s device for the production of electricity identified in the Interconnection Request, but shall not include the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities.

Generator / SOG

10

Term Review: Network Resource Capability

As defined in OATT: Schedule 22/23

Network Resource Capability (“NR Capability”) – The maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output of the Generating Facility at the Point of Interconnection at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F for Winter. Where the Generating Facility includes multiple energy production devices, the NR Capability shall be the aggregate maximum gross and net megawatt electrical output of the Generating Facility at the Point of Interconnection at an ambient temperature at or above 50 degrees F for Summer and at or above 0 degrees F for Winter. The NR Capability shall be equal to or greater than the CNR Capability.

Generator / SOG

OP-14 Revisit: Determining Generator / SOG*

A Generating Facility of less than five (5) MW and connected below 115kV that does not meet telemetering requirements per ISO New England Operating Procedure No. 18, Metering and Telemetering Criteria (OP-18), or is less than 1 MW will not be represented in the ISO Energy Management System (EMS) and is not a defined Generator for the purpose of this Procedure. A Generating Facility connected at 115kV and above will be represented in ISO EMS and is required to have OP-18 compliant metering. A Generating Facility’s MW output for this purpose is determined using its Winter net Network Resource Capability.

OP-14 Revisit: Determining Generator / SOG* (cont)

A Generating Facility between 1MW - 5MW and without OP-18 compliant metering connected below 115kV:

• May register as a “Settlement Only Generator” or• May elect to be treated as a load reducer A Generating Facility between 1MW - 5MW and has OP-18

compliant metering connected below 115kV:• Shall register as a modeled GeneratorA Generating Facility (of any size) connected at 115kV or above:• Shall register as a modeled Generator and have OP-18 compliant

metering

* Intended to be draft language

Generator & SOG: Next Steps

1. Continue effort to clarify definitions of Generator and SOG.

2. Create transitional language and Effective Date for all new generators to be evaluated by.

3. Present redline version in January 2014 RC

Existing OP-14 (Rev 20): Section II.A - Item #3

• A single generating unit of less than five (5) MW and that does not meet telemetering requirements per ISO New England Operating Procedure No. 18, Metering and Telemetering Criteria (OP-18), or is less than 1 MW will not be represented in the ISO Energy Management System (EMS). A generating unit meeting either criterion is not a defined Generator for the purpose of this Procedure. A generating unit is considered a less than five (5) MW unit if the annual average of its seasonal (summer or winter) ratings is less than 5 MW. A unit must be considered a less than one (1) MW unit if either its summer or winter rating is less than one (1) MW.

• A generating unit meeting these criteria:

• May register as a “Settlement Only Generator” or

• May elect to be treated as a load reducer
