The information in this document will serve as inputs to determine the scope of information systems changes to implement the project and to all business process modeling and system requirements specifications efforts. These requirements will serve as the initial set of business unit requirements for the appropriate software application/systems development effort. The ISO s information technology services (ITS) department will identify additional requirements and systems analysis and may produce To Be business process models, system requirements specifications, and use cases to serve as the set of requirements documents used by the ITS development teams to buy, modify, or build the necessary software and hardware systems References [1] Pay for Performance Regulation Draft Final Proposal Addendum, February 22, 2012 is located in [2] Board materials for Pay for Performance Regulation are located in %20relevant%20market%20notices [3] ISO tariff filing is located in [4] ISO answers to comments are located in 2. Details of Business Need/Problem 2.1 Description On October 20, 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission adopted a final rule (FERC Order 755) to remedy what FERC identifies as undue discrimination in the procurement of frequency regulation in the organized wholesale electric markets and ensure that providers of frequency regulation receive just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential rates. The final rule requires a two part payment for frequency regulation: (1) a payment for regulation capacity and (2) a payment for performance of the resource in response to a regulation signal. The ISO has proposed to comply with FERC s direction by developing a mileage payment based upon the automatic generation control (AGC) set points given to a resource and an accuracy adjustment based on the resource s actual response to these AGC set points. FERC s order adopting the final rule requires a compliance filing with proposed tariff language by April 30, 2012, and implementation in October Due to the extensive changes to the business Copyright 2012 California ISO Page 5 of 54

The IT architecture team will determine which software system should implement this business requirement. 4. Business Requirements The sections below describe the business processes and the associated business requirements involved in the project. These may represent high level functional, non-functional, reporting and/or infrastructure requirements. These business requirements directly relate to the high level scope items determined for the project. 4.1 Business Process: Manage Resource Performance Verification The eligibility of a resource to provide regulation services will be affected by the historical performance of the resource in responding to the CAISO s AGC signals. If a resource violates the minimum performance threshold, the resource will have ninety days to re-certify to provide regulation. If the resource does not re-certify within the ninety days, the ISO will change the Master File to reflect that the resource is no longer certified to provide the relevant regulation service. This process shall be updated to include a monthly event to conduct the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy (HRPA) test. The monthly average of Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy is calculated by the Manage Regulation Mileage process. The monthly HRPA test shall be conducted upon receiving the HRPA at the end of every month. Copyright 2012 California ISO Page 9 of 54

11 BRQ001 The system shall determine, besides other existing criteria, the eligibility of a resource to provide regulation up and regulation down according to the monthly average of Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy for regulation up and regulation down, respectively. Master File (MF) BRQ002 BRQ003 BRQ004 BRQ005 BRQ006 BRQ007 BRQ008 BRQ009 The system shall allow the user to specify a configurable minimum threshold for the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy with a default value of 50%. The same threshold shall be used for both the regulation up and the regulation down services. The system shall compare the monthly Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy of each resource for the regulation up service with the minimum threshold (50% initially) whenever a new monthly average is available. If the monthly average of the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy of a resource for the regulation up service is smaller than the minimum threshold, the resource is said to have a Regulation Performance Accuracy violation for the regulation up service. The system shall record the time of the violation and notify the ISO user. The notification shall include the reason for the notification, the time of the violation, the resource name, the scheduling coordinator for the resource, the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy for the regulation up service, and the threshold. The system shall compare the monthly Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy of each resource for the regulation down service with the minimum threshold (50% initially) whenever a new monthly average is available. If the monthly average of the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy of a resource for the regulation down service is smaller than the minimum threshold, the resource is said to have a Regulation Performance Accuracy violation for the regulation down service. The system shall record the time of the violation and notify the ISO user. The notification shall include the reason for the notification, the time of the violation, the resource name, the scheduling coordinator for the resource, the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy for the regulation down service, and the threshold. The ISO shall provide a written notice (by registered mail) to the scheduling coordinator if a resource has a Regulation Performance Accuracy violation for regulation up, for regulation down or for both regulation up and regulation down. The system shall allow the user to record the date and time when the scheduling coordinator received the notification. The system shall nullify any existing record of AGC-response violation for the regulation up service if the resource is re-certified to provide regulation up service. The system shall nullify any existing record of AGC-response violation for the regulation down service if the resource is re-certified to provide regulation down service. The system shall revoke a resource s eligibility for providing the regulation up service if a resource does not re-certifiy to provide the regulation up service within 90 days after the scheduling coordinator has received the notification from the ISO regarding the resource s violation of the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy for regulation up. The system shall revoke a resource s eligibility for providing the regulation down service if a resource does not re-certifiy to provide the regulation down service within 90 days after the scheduling coordinator has received the notification from the ISO regarding the resource s violation of the Historic Regulation Performance Accuracy for regulation down.

12 4.2 Business Process: Manage SC Requested Resource Testing In the past, the maximum regulation capacity that a resource may offer has been determined by the amount reached within a period that may range from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes. In practice, the ISO has used a 10 minute ramp period. This project changes the standardized the duration of the ramping interval to 10 minutes. Using the 10 minute ramp, the certification process will use the same ramp measurement interval for regulation, spinning reserves and non-spinning reserves. This process shall determine the maximum regulation up/down capacity and eligibility for providing regulation up/down separately and pass the information to Manage Entity & Resource Maintenance Updates to update the records in the Master File Business Requirements BRQ010 BRQ011 The ISO shall determine the maximum regulation up capacity of each resource certified to provide the regulation up service according to the 10-minute ramping capability of the resource. The ISO shall determine the maximum regulation down capacity of each resource certified to provide the regulation down service according to the 10-minute ramping capability of the resource. N/A, Manual N/A, Manual 4.3 Business Process: Manage Entity & Resource Maintenance Updates Upon reception of the information from the process Manage SC-Requested Resource Testing, the Master File shall be updated to change the maximum regulation up/down capacity if necessary and the eligibility for providing regulation up/down based on the outcome of the test Business Requirements BRQ012 BRQ013 BRQ014 The system shall separately record the eligibility of a resource to provide regulation up and regulation down. The system shall be able to update the maximum regulation up capacity according to the information provided by the Manage SC Requested Resource Testing process. The system shall be able to update the maximum regulation down capacity according to the information provided by the Manage SC Requested Resource Testing process.

13 BRQ015 BRQ016 The system shall allow the user to update the eligibility of a resource to provide the regulation up service according to the information provided by the Manage SC Requested Resource Testing process. The system shall allow the user to update the eligibility of a resource to provide the regulation down service according to the information provided by the Manage SC Requested Resource Testing process. Master File Master File 4.4 Business Process: Manage Real-Time Operation To enhance the availability of AGC set points and telemetry data for regulation mileage calculation, the EMS (Energy Management System) shall be able to buffer up to 4 hours of 4-second data for all regulating resources if the PI connection is lost. When the PI connection is restored after a loss then all buffered data for regulating resources should be transmitted to PI Business Requirements BRQ156 BRQ157 The EMS (Energy Management System) shall be able to buffer up to 4 hours of 4- second data for all regulating resources if the PI connection is lost. The 4-second data to be buffered shall include: a) AGC set points at 4-second interval, and b) Telemetry data at 4-second interval When the PI connection is restored after a loss, the EMS shall transmit all buffered data for regulating resources to PI. EMS EMS, PI 4.5 Business Process: Manage Regulation Mileage This business process will perform regulation mileage related calculation. This process will receive from PI the AGC set points and the telemetry data, and DOP (dispatch operating points) originated from the real-time market process. Although these input data are generated in real-time, the Manage Regulation Mileage process only needs to collect them daily for settlement purpose, weekly and monthly for calculating mileage multipliers and Regulation Performance Accuracy. In order to manage the regulation mileage, the ISO will use the EMS, PI and MQS systems in combination to calculate the various measurements. Furthermore, a new business process will be developed to maintain the regular operation and manage dispute process regarding regulation mileage Business Requirements Copyright 2012 California ISO Page 13 of 54

14 BRQ017 The system shall provide an automated means to obtain the following historical data for each resource certified and awarded to provide regulation up or regulation down: a) AGC set points at 4-second interval, and b) Telemetry data at 4-second interval coincidental with the AGC set points The system shall receive all the 4-second interval AGC set points and the telemetry data of the trade day at least once every day. In order to make sure that the true regulation mileage is calculated when unit is truly under AGC, the following two verifications need to happen, Verifirication 1, When using 4-second interval AGC data for the calculation of regulation mileage, the system shall skip the 4-second interval for the accuracy calculation if that interval meets the following criteria, For regulation up, If (Abs(Max(0, AGC set point DOP))) < Max(0.1% * Regulation Up Capacity, 0.1MW), Then no calculation for the regulation up mileage and accuracy for that 4- second. Essentially NULL for that 4-second; For regulation down, If (Abs(Min(0, AGC set point DOP))) < Max(0.1% * Regulation Down Capacity, 0.1MW), Then no calculation for the regulation down mileage and accuracy for that 4- second. Essentially NULL for that 4-second; Mileage continues to be calculated for those intervals. The 0.1% and 0.1MW are examples and shall be system level configurable parameters. ISO will determine these two parameters based on production AGC data. Regulation capacities in formulas above refer to final capacities cleared in the real-time market for applicable intervals. When all 4-seconds in a 15-minutes are falling in the threshold, the accuracy will be the prior interval s accuracy. Verification 2, When there is no regulation up capacity cleared in the market, there shall not be any regulation up mileage calculation for any 4-second interval wthin that 15-minute interval; When there is no regulation down capacity cleared in the market, there shall not be any regulation down mileage calculation for any 4-second interval wthin that 15-minute interval; EMS, PI, MQS Copyright 2012 California ISO Page 14 of 54

15 BRQ018 BRQ019 BRQ020 The system shall align the timing of AGC set points and telemetry data considering telecommunication delays. It is important to note that the data point applicable for the same time instance is needed regardless when the AGC instruction was sent and when the telemetry data was received. For example, if a telemetric data point corresponds to an AGC signal that was sent 8 seconds earlier, the AGC set point for interval t should be aligned with the telemetric data point obtained in interval t+2, where each interval is 4-seconds. The system shall provide an automated means to obtain historical Dispatch Operating Point (DOP). The DOP from the original data source will have data points at 5-minute intervals and occasionally additional points sometimes within the 5- minute intervals. Although the 4-second DOP calculation is an existing EMS functionality, it is worth to mention and clarify how ISO calculates this since the 4-second DOP is used in the mileage calculation, Step 1, Calculate a DOP curve based on two consecutive DOTs (same as ADS DOTs) across 5-minute for RTD runs, Start from the first DOT MW at T (DOT time stamp), use the applicable ramprate to ramp towards the next DOT MW with its DOT time stamp at its FULL RAMP capability. You may reach the MW earlier than the next DOT MW s DOT timestamp. In that event, assumes a flat line after the MW reaches the DOT MW. Step 2, Figure out the 4-second DOP MW value based on the 4-second time on the DOP curve, This calculation is done every 4-second since the DOP MW can be different every four second given the same DOP curve. Example, Assuming the following, DOT for 01:52:30 is 50MW, the DOT for 01:57:30 is 100MW, and the ramp-rate is 25MW/min. The DOP curve is From 01:52:30 to 01:54:30, a linear ramp from 50MW to 100MW; From 01:54:30 to 01:57:30, a flat DOP from 100MW to 100MW. As such, Tthe 4-second DOP at 01:52:34 is /15 (51.66MW); The 4-second DOP at 01:52:38 is /15 (53.33MW); The 4-second DOP at 01:55:00 is 100MW.
