3. Upcoming SMD Training ICAP Training: GADS Workshop: July 9th & 10th
ICAP Training sessions scheduled during the weeks of 7/15 and 7/22

4. Before we begin... What this course is:
High level introduction to the ICAP market in SMD and the UCAP requirement, Not a detailed training for the ICAP market
Questions

Via voice link during Q & A period:
use “Raise hand” function

5. Purpose of Today’s On-line Training
A preview of the new ICAP Market - ISO New England style….
ICAP will have a product called Unforced Capacity (UCAP) that that will allow participants to partake in the Capacity and/ or Deficiency Auctions
What the UCAP requirements are
Who, What and How is Operational Data submitted?
ICAP

6. ICAP Definition
NEPOOL establishes the Installed Capacity (ICAP) requirement to meet the reliability needs of the Control Area (CA)

7. UCAP Market Definition
Unforced Capacity is the measurement used to determine if a Participant has met their contribution to it’s Installed Capacity Requirement

8. High-level flow NEPOOL sets annual ICAP Requirement
ISO sets UCAP requirement once per year and updates monthly
Generators provide Operating Data
ISO Determination of Amounts of Capacity MWs based on ICAP resources
Supply Auction
Deficiency Auction

9. ISO responsibilities
Converts NEPOOL established ICAP Requirement into UCAP
Establishes standards, requirements and qualifications for ICAP resources etc.
Determines amount that can be supplied
Conducts monthly Supply Auctions and Deficiency Auctions

10. Generator Responsibilities
Provide GADS if ICAP Resource
Daily Info
Offer capacity credit amount into system, no bid offer price will be set to ZERO
Can de-list if chooses not to participate
Offer into ICAP auction
Remaining Capacity Credit can be submitted as an offer in the Deficiency auction

11. External Resource Responsibilities
Provide GADS data or equivalent operational data
External Resources have agreed not to CURTAIL the Energy Associated with the ICAP
Participant must commit that it will submit a Supply Offer into the Day-Ahead Energy Market equal to resources ICAP
reference Market Rule 1X, Section for exceptions

12. External Resource Responsibilities
Participants can offer External Resources into the NEPOOL Control Area as a qualifying resource if:
Dispatchable Energy backed by a Unit
Non-Dispatchable Energy backed by a Unit
Non-Dispatchable Energy backed by a Control Area
Capacity Credits backed by either an emergency interchange agreement or other emergency supply arrangement between Control Areas

13. On the Demand side of the quotation
All Participants will receive yearly and updated monthly UCAP requirements based on contribution to previous years coincidental peak
Load - Shifting adjustments will be made monthly and based on the data submission by Host Utility Meter Readers
Submit daily Tag value for each Load Asset

14. What is GADS and How is it used
GADS is Generating Availability Data Systems that is a format style used for submitting operational data
The NERC-GADS data follows an 82 character fixed format as defined in the NERC GADS manuals
The ISO will use the data for internal reliability studies and for calculating Unforced Capacity (UCAP) values
Generating Resources with nameplate capacities greater than 5 MW or plants whose total capacity exceeds 25 MW are expected to submit the operational data

15. Example of GADS format
The following slides are examples of the format requirements needed to submit your operational data
Various programs are available in the market place or you can visit the NERC web site for a free sample

19. How does the auction work
The monthly Auctions will give Participants the opportunity to satisfy their Unforced Capacity Requirements
The Supply Auction will allow Participants offer to sell and bids to purchase Unforced Capacity
The Deficiency Auction will allow the ISO to attempt to procure sufficient UCAP to cover the remainder of the Participant's UCAP for the month

20. Exceptions to the rules
Special Case Resources
Intermittent Power resources
Limited Energy
Non Dispatchable QF’s and Settlement Only Generators

21. Exceptions to the rules
Will qualify for as a ICAP resource if they meet the criteria
If it offers or Self-Schedules its Installed Capacity Equivalent into the Day-Ahead Energy Market each day
If it is able to provide the energy equivalent of the Unforced Capacity for a duration consistent with its rating as determined in accordance with the rating process set forth in the NEPOOL Manuals
Submits operational data pertaining to the previous month submitted prior to the 20th day of each month

22. How to get started Full year of Operational Data by September 20, 2002
Then, by the 20th of each following month, the previous Month’s Operational Data will need to be received.
So on and so forth……..

24. Summary of Today’s ICAP Session
NPCC Standards of the Forecasted Peak Load for the Capability Year is what is used to set the annual ICAP Requirement
The Pool UCAP Requirement is set by using:
Pool ICAP Requirement X (1-Average Forced Outage Rate)
Generators provide 12 months of Operating Data by September 20, 2002
ISO Determination of Amounts based on ICAP resources
Capacity Auction
Deficiency Auction

25. Summary of Today’s ICAP Session
The ICAP Requirement is translated to an Unforced Capacity (UCAP) Requirement by adjusting for the forced outage rate of generating assets in the Control Area
All Participants contribute to the NEPOOL peak, so all are allocated a UCAP Requirement based on their coincident load

26. Summary of Today’s ICAP Session
During the month Participants that are short or long in their UCAP requirement are offered a couple of options to meet their obligations.
ICAP Resources can sell their UCAP internally or external, or elect not to participate in the ICAP Market

27. Summary of Today’s ICAP Session
Keep in mind that
Any month with zero reporting data of resources will result in zero ICAP
Submitting GADS or equivalent operational data is very important!
