INTRA-DAY TRADING DESIGN Changes required to the MIUN Calculation for SEM Intra-Day Trading 27 March 2012

2 SEM Intra-Day Trading will be implemented in July SEM Intra-Day Trading (Mod_18_10_v2) requires that: MIUNs are fixed where possible in subsequent MSP Software Runs; Superposition is allowed; and There are three Gate Windows for each Trading Day. These changes to Appendix 2 of Agreed Procedure 2 (where the specific MIUN calculation rules are summarised) are required to align with Mod_18_10_v2. The MIUN Calculator vendor is currently making changes to the MIUN Calculator to deliver this requirement. The changes will be tested by SEMO and delivered prior to the start of Market Trial. The drafting changes in the Modification Proposal are in respect of the approved drafting for Intra-Day Trading. Background

4 Why do the current AP2 rules not deliver the IDT requirements? Do not allow for Superposition IUNs in each direction are capped by the corresponding ATC limit and ACH i.e. sum[IUNs + ]≤ATC + and sum[IUNs - ]≥ATC - Do not allow for multiple Gate Windows Only one Gate Window currently, taking into account Active Capacity Holdings. Currently, the rules would result in zero MIUNs for IUs without Capacity Holdings. Do not fix previously determined MIUNs MIUN Calculator currently does not consider MIUNs previously calculated. MIUN Calculator considers all Units at the same time (there is no ordering to the consideration of IUs).

5 What changes will deliver the IDT requirements? Allow for Superposition Total IUNs are capped by the ATC import and export limits i.e. sum[IUNs all ]≤ATC + and sum[IUNs all ]≥ATC - Allow for multiple Gate Windows Calculate MIUNs following each MSP Software Run or change in ATC. Fix previously determined MIUNs Track MIUNs calculated following the associated MSP Software Run (Original MIUNs). Fix Original MIUNs where possible (in some circumstances MIUNs cannot be fixed). Then consider IUs where there are no previously calculated MIUNs to fix.

6 The changes in the Modification Proposal are summarised as follows: 1.Clarification that the MIUNs as calculated following the relevant MSP Software Run will be fixed in subsequent MIUN calculations where possible. 2.Correction of the explanation of when Interconnector Units are considered to be ramping up or down. (This is currently incorrect in its description of the existing process.) 3.Introduction of Original MIUNs and Original IUNs as defined terms in Agreed Procedure 2, Appendix 2. These terms will enable fixing and make clear which version of the IUNs/MIUNs are used as inputs to the relevant MIUN Calculator run. Summary of Modification Proposal

8 Overview of MIUN Calculation for Intra-Day Trading Ex-Ante One MSP Software: Calculate EA1 Original IUNs. MIUN Calculator Produce feasible Interconnector profile. Calculate EA1 Original MIUNs. If ATC changes, attempt to meet all Original MIUNs if possible. Ex-Ante Two MSP Software: Calculate EA2 Original IUNs. MIUN Calculator Produce feasible Interconnector profile. Fix EA1 Original MIUNs. Calculate EA2 Original MIUNs. If ATC changes, attempt to meet all Original MIUNs if possible. Within Day One MSP Software: Calculate WD1 Original IUNs. MIUN Calculator Produce feasible Interconnector profile. Fix EA1 and EA2 Original MIUNs. Calculate WD1 Original MIUNs. If ATC changes, attempt to meet all Original MIUNs if possible.
