2. © ABB Power Technologies - 2 Next Steps – Messaging standard Proof of concept demonstration – SCUC messaging Scope Create XML input messages Use a small 100 bus model Create Prototype Adapters for each SCUC ABB, Areva, and Siemens Prototype testing Verify SCUC XML output complies with the schema Documentation for standards promotion Goal Further ‘cleanup’ and tuning of CME schema Demonstrate the feasibility of SCUC as ‘plug and play’

3. © ABB Power Technologies - 3 Next Steps – Messaging Standard Standards Promotion IEC TC57 WG13 and WG16 At conclusion of Proof of Concept UML and supporting documents Messaging Standard for Additional Applications Market Participant Bid Submission Extensive schema reuse from SCUC messaging Network Applications (e.g. power flow, security analysis, state estimation) Partially accomplished w/ SCUC messaging Settlements Metering

4. © ABB Power Technologies - 4 Conclusion – Messaging Standard Lessons Learned & Benefits Good to have ITC as program management and vendors implementing Workshops are an efficient format Having most of the ISO’s present makes for a widely usable interface definition The standard reflects the collective experience of all the participating vendors and ITC members
