28 Providers of Replacement Reserve (RPRS) are paid for three distinct types of service:  Capacity Insufficiency  Zonal Congestion  Local Congestion Section and Capacity Settlement

29 Units selected for Capacity Insufficiency or Zonal Replacement are paid:  the higher of their bid or,  the highest MCPC for all Replacement Reserve procured during the procurement processes. Section and Capacity Settlement

45 Situation: SQSE has scheduled to generate at 208 MW from their resource in the South Zone for IE The Resource actually generates at 220MW. The Market Clearing Price for Energy, South CM Zone is $17.09/MWh Conditions: SQSE Resource Imbalance Example Energy Settlement

46 Scheduled Generation Actual Generation 0 220MW Resource Imbalance Example Energy Settlement 208MW 55MWh52MWh SQSE

47 For a given interval and zone, RI = (Scheduled Generation – Actual Generation) * MCPE Therefore, for interval 1630, SQSE’s Resource Imbalance in the South Zone is RI = (52MWh - 55MWh) * $17.09/MWh = - $51.57 Resource Imbalance Example Energy Settlement SQSE

48 RI izq = (QRS izq - MR izq ) * MCPE iz Resource Imbalance Protocol Terms RI : Resource Imbalance Amount QRS: Scheduled Resource MR: Metered Resource MCPE: Market Clearing Price for Energy Translation: Resource Imbalance is the difference between the Scheduled and Actual Resource output times the Clearing Price for Energy.

50  Scheduled Load - Adjusted Metered Load  Paid/charged at MCPE  Why an Imbalance?  UFE  Forecast Inaccuracies  Relaxed Balanced Schedule (section 4.3.1)  LaaR’s Load Imbalance Protocol Energy Settlement

51 Situation: SQSE schedules 140 MW (35 MWh / interval) of Load in the South Zone for IE 1630 Adjusted Metered Load = 160 MW (40 MWh / interval) in the South Zone. Market Clearing Price for Energy = $17.09/MWh in the South Conditions: SQSE Load Imbalance Example Energy Settlement

52 Actual Load Scheduled Load South Zone Load Imbalance Example Energy Settlement 35MWh40MWh SQSE

53 For a given interval and zone, LI = -1*(Scheduled Load – Actual Load) * MCPE Therefore, for interval 1630, SQSE’s Load Imbalance in the South Zone is LI = -1*(35MWh - 40MWh) * $17.09/MWh = $85.45 SQSE Load Imbalance Example Energy Settlement

54 Actual Load Scheduled Load SQSE North Zone Load Imbalance Example Energy Settlement 52MWh50MWh

55 For a given interval and zone, LI = -1*(Scheduled Load – Actual Load) * MCPE Therefore, for interval 1630, SQSE’s Load Imbalance in the North Zone is LI = -1*(52MWh - 50MWh) * $17.09/MWh = -$34.18 SQSE Load Imbalance Example Energy Settlement

56 LI izq = -1 * (SL izq - AML izq ) * MCPE iz Load Imbalance Protocol Translation: Load Imbalance is the difference between the Scheduled and Actual Load times the Clearing Price for Energy.

57 Learning Objectives:  Balancing Energy  Resource Imbalance  Load Imbalance  OOME  Uninstructed Resource Charge  Congestion  Mismatched Schedules  BENA Energy Settlement

58 What is OOME?  Out of merit order, unit-specific energy deployment  Procured by ERCOT when no market solution  Paid according to a generic cost structure (Protocol Section )  ERCOT-wide cost is uplifted to QSEs based on Load- Ratio-Share (LRS) Energy Settlement OOME

59  The OOME Up and OOME Down payments are intended to cover only the amount above the billable quantity times MCPE. MCPE times billable quantity is paid in Resource Imbalance.  If the calculated OOM Up payment is insufficient --- additional verifiable costs may be paid if submitted in a timely manner. OOME Payment Methodology Energy Settlement OOME

60 Situation: SQSE receives an OOME instruction for IE 1600 to move the output of Unit 1 to 150 MW SQSE Data for SQSE for IE 1600: RP_Unit1 = 100 MW (25 MWh per 15 minute interval) Metered Generation by Unit1 = 36 MWh Instructed Output Level= 150MW (37.5 MWh per interval) Unit 1 is a Gas-Steam Reheat Boiler unit Generic Cost (Per Protocol ) = $61.41 per MWh MCPE = $15.80 per MWh Energy Settlement OOME Example

61 SQSE Instructed Output Metered Output Resource Plan and Generation Schedule 100 OOME Example Energy Settlement 37.5MWh36MWh25MWh

62 OOME Example Energy Settlement As with all settlement equations, OOME Payment = -1 * Quantity * Price Price is fairly easy: Price = (Generic Cost – MCPE) or 0, whichever is greater. In this example, Price = $ = $45.61 per MWh Why do we subtract the MCPE from the Generic Cost? SQSE

63 OOME Example Energy Settlement Quantity is a little more difficult: Quantity = The change in energy output in response to the instruction with a maximum of the instruction itself. SQSE

64 OOME Example Energy Settlement The unit’s response = Metered Output – Resource Plan = 36 MWh – 25 MWh = 11 MWh The unit’s instruction= Instructed Output – Resource Plan = 37.5 MWh – 25 MWh = 12.5 MWh Since the response does not exceed the instruction, ERCOT will pay SQSE for the unit’s response of 11 MWh. SQSE

65 OOME Example Energy Settlement Putting it all together, OOME Payment = -1 * Quantity * Price = -1 * 11 MWh * $45.61/MWh = -$ SQSE

66 PE OOMUPiuq = -1 * E OOMUPiuq * Max [(RCGFC c – MCPE iz ),0] Terms PE: Price paid for OOM Energy E: Amount of OOME Energy Provided RCGFC: Resource Category Generic Fuel Cost MCPE: Market Clearing Price for Energy Translation: The OOM Energy premium payment is equal to the Energy provided times the difference between MCPE and the Generic cost for the OOME service.

69 Uninstructed Resource Charge (URC)  A QSE who schedules resources will be paid the full Market Clearing Price for Energy Up to the amount of instructed deviations  An Uninstructed Deviation Charge Back will be calculated at a factor of the MCPE. The Uninstructed Deviation Charge Back will be applied to each Congestion Zone in which a QSE has a deviation from schedule plus instructions. Uninstructed Resource Charge

70 Integrated Amount of ERCOT Regulation is less than -25 MWhrs Uninstructed Resource Charge Over Generation in a zone where MCPE is positive Metered Resource is greater than larger of 101.5% of (or 5MWh over) total schedule plus Instruction Uncontrollable Renewable Resource has generated more than 150% of its Schedule Price Chasing Uninstructed Resource Charge

71 Integrated Amount of ERCOT Regulation is greater than 25 MWhrs Uninstructed Resource Charge Under Generation in a zone where MCPE is negative Metered Resource is less than lesser of 98.5% of (or 5MWh under) total schedule plus Instruction Uncontrollable Renewable Resource generates less than 50% of Schedule.

73 Settlement of Zonal Congestion  QSE impact is determined by the bilateral schedule  The net Resource schedule (Resource – Obligation) for each zone is multiplied by the zonal shift factor for each Commercially Significant Constraint (CSC).  The CSC impacts are added together  The QSE is charged the Impact on the CSC multiplied by the Shadow Price on the CSC. Congestion Management - Zonal

76 Congestion Management - Zonal Where do you find the real shift factors?

77 Situation: SQSE schedules 548 MW of Resource from the South Zone and delivers 140 MW to the South Zone and 408 MW to the North Zone. The South to North congestion Path is constrained. MCPE_North = $28.84 MCPE_South = $17.09 MCPESPC_SN = $32.91 Congestion Management - Zonal SQSE Congestion Management - Example

78 Congestion Management - Example Congestion Management - Zonal South WestNorth Res = 548MW Load = 140MW Res = 0MW Load = 408MW SQSE

79 SQSE’s South Zone Schedule impacts the South to North constraint as follows: Impact = (Resource – Obligation)(1/4 hr) * SF SN = (548 MW – 140MW)(1/4 hr) * = MWh SQSE Congestion Management - Example SQSE’s North Zone Schedule impacts the South to North constraint as follows: Impact = (Resource – Obligation)(1/4 hr) * SF SN = (0 MW – 408MW)(1/4 hr) * = MWh Congestion Management - Zonal

80 Now the Congestion Charge for a particular CSC is simply a quantity times a price: Congestion Charge = (Sum of Impacts) * Shadow Price = (51.33 MWh MWh)($32.91/MWh) = $ SQSE Congestion Management - Example Congestion Management - Zonal

84 Situation: If SQSE had bid for and purchased 100 TCRs for this month at $3 a piece, then the impact is as follows: SQSE Cost of TCRs = 100 * $3 = $300 (covers entire month) Cost of congestion from IE 1630 = $2, Payment from TCR = TCR/4 * MCPESPC_SN = (100/4) * $32.91 = $ SQSE cost for Congestion = $2, – $ = $ (minus the monthly amortized cost of the TCR) Congestion Management – TCR Example Congestion Management - Zonal

85 Limit = 500 MW 200 MW 300 MW 100 MWOVERLOAD “Generate at 200” 200 MW Question: How does ERCOT select the unit? Congestion Management - Local

86  In real time, ERCOT manages Local Congestion using unit specific deployments.  Units selected are paid by their Bid Premiums if a Market Solution is used.  Units selected are paid as OOM if no Market Solution exists.  Charge uplifted to QSEs on a Load Ratio Share Basis.
