Shadow Operations Overview
SPP/Peak Coordination
Stage 1 – Listen-only mode
Stage 2 – SPP more involved in leading discussions
SPP to participate in daily calls
Peak to conference in SPP on discussions with BA/TOPs as time allows
SPP RC Customer Tasks
Parallel data submission includes load forecasts, generation forecasts, outages, ratings changes, and OPA results.
Mostly “Business as usual”
Participate in SPP-specific application testing as requested
Assist SPP with data validations
SPP Tasks
Review Peak’s OPA for comparison and discuss major discrepancies
Review RC customer OPA results
Monitor Peak’s HAA, compare RTCA results, and discuss discrepancies
Perform data spot-checks and verify tools function appropriately
In all situations where a TOP or BA needs to contact the RC for mitigating system issues or reporting forced outages, the entity should always contact Peak first. Peak will then conference in SPP if time allows.
