Presentation 3 NERC Seasonal Assessments Operational Guidance for NERC s Seasonal Assessments ORS May 5-6, 2015
Seasonal Assessments Background NERC in coordination with the RAS conducts two seasonal assessments in a year: Summer Reliability Assessment (SRA) Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA) RAS evaluates various Assessment Areas in the eight Regions Traditionally, the focus is on planning areas; resource adequacy, reserve margins and transmission adequacy Good for planning for the season, however short-term nature of these assessments merit an operational perspective 2015 SRA included a pilot for operational analysis 2 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
2015 SRA Operational Analysis Pilot Two scenarios were analyzed: Normal load with forced and planned outages Extreme load with forced and planned outages Outage data collected from GADS and Regions FRCC Example 3 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Severe Demand Example In some instances, like PJM, it was observed that for severe load scenario forced and planned outages may cause tight operational flexibility Regions and entities have plans to mitigate these conditions by means of Demand Response, public appeals, etc. 4 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Future Seasonal Assessments NERC would like to incorporate more operational/short-term scenarios and analysis into the seasonal assessments Operational Readiness Reliability Assessment staff currently attends various Region s working groups and task force meetings for seasonal assessments, for e.g. NPCC s CO-12 working group ORS agenda item - Operations Review Notes extremely helpful Looking for input from ORS on: Content/Insights from operations (What are you worried about?) Review assessments Timeline for review 5 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Future of Seasonal Assessments Currently working on transitioning seasonal assessments to Short-Term Assessment The new product could be completed with an 18 month outlook, incorporate operational aspects of the system, and provide additional analytical information (e.g., ERS measures) Provides opportunity to develop and provide insights and analytics on shoulder months 6 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

Presentation 4 MISO Market Flow Calculation
MISO Market Flows: The calculated energy flows on a specified flow gate as a result of dispatch of generating resources serving market load within a market-based operating entity s market (excluding tagged transactions). 2
MISO Market Flow Calculation (MFC) Logic: Scale down generation across the footprint for total RTO exports on a pro-rata basis. Scale down load across the footprint for total RTO imports on a pro-rata basis. Determine native generation serving for each Control Zone (CZ) or LBA native load. 3
MISO Market Flow Calculation (MFC) Logic: Calculate CZ Generation serving load in other CZs within RTO (Transfer MW with in the MISO from one LBA to another). Calculate generation shortage weighted load shift factor for all CZs with generation shortage. Calculate distribution factor (GLDF) for each unit in the exporting control zone. Calculate impact from generation serving native load for each control zone or LBA. (Native Generation to Load Impacts) 4
MISO Market Flow Calculation (MFC) Logic: Calculate transfer impact of generators serving nonnative RTO load and sum them up to get CZ transfer impacts. (Transfer Generation to Load impacts) Sum native and CZ transfer impacts directionally to determine market flows in forward and reverse directions. 5
MFC Example: 6
MFC Input Data Source UDS (Market Solution) Generation; by units Load plus Losses Total RTO Exports and Imports State Estimator Topology for Shift Factor Calculation 7
Calculation Frequency and IDC Data Exchange Calculated Frequency: Every 5 minutes for Real-time calculation (Current Hour) Every 15 minutes for Next Hour calculation Data Exchange: Every 5/15 minutes to IDC for TLR purposes For all MISO CFs and RCFs Down to 0% Market Flows and down to 5% Market Flows 8
Market Flows reported to IDC Directional Market Flows are reported to IDC in 3 buckets 7FN (Priority 7-FN); ED6 (Priority 6-NN); and ED2 (Priority 2-NH) (only for RCFs; for CFs ED2 = 0) 9
Market Flows and TLR Process IDC calculates Relief Required from the markets using 5% Forward Market Flows Pro-rata share with respect to the Tag Impacts with same priority IDC sends Target Market Flow to the markets using 0% Net Market Flows MISO UDS uses Target Market Flow value from IDC to bind and provide relief 10
Questions? 11
Presentation 5 Discussion of IDC PFV Test Metrics NERC ORS May 5, 2015 Chattanooga
Proposed Measures Data Availability measure performance of data supply against requirements Generator outputs line flows for branches modeled as flowgates in the IDC tie-lines system loads net actual interchange dynamic schedules block dispatch data next hour dispatch
Proposed Measures Input Data Accuracy measure accuracy of reported data against actual value unit output flowgate and tie-line flow BA load
Proposed Measures Validate Calculation Logic Measure and track actual flowgate flow against calculated flowgate flow in 15 minute increments Test three Seams Agreement Methodologies to ensure consistent results POR/POD methodology Marginal zone methodology Slice of system methodology Can we test with known data? Can we test against a study powerflow case with identical system setup?
Proposed Measures Pseudo Ties Test different pseudo tie modelling methodologies to ensure consistent results Alarming Confirm alarming for loss of data input, etc. works as required
Questions for Input from ORS Is the priority of the ORS to minimize the difference of Flowgate Actual Flow and Calculated Flow (i.e. keep unaccounted for flow minimized) Are all of the Actual Flows (Gens, Flowgates, etc.) captured at the same time (i.e. Data latency issues) What if some of the data when captured for submittal has suspect quality (stale)? Are outages that impact flows captured and sent at the same time as the flows in the GTL calculations?
