Sheet: spin reserve log sheet

This log is where we should log any problems with the spin reserves.
If it falls below 100 we should log who we spoke to and if we tried to buy some power to cover it. Remember you have to buy firm power to cover spin reserve.
Date | Actual 4 minute increment that you checked | Name of person you spoke to | Comments  ( include what spin was when you checked it)
2000-03-07 00:00:00 | El Paso defiecent for He 7 due to loss of Artesia | [NAME] | Per [NAME] imports are limited to a total of 335 Mw. Per this direction I
 | tie. |  | sold off  Palo Verde for He 8 to import net of 335Mw. Against my direction
 |  |  | [NAME] directed me to cut the sale to 50Mw so he could import the energy.
2000-03-18 00:00:00 | El Paso deficient for HE 11 due to the loss of | [NAME] and Ward | Per Jessie at 1015 MST, I had to cut SRP from 50 MW to 25 MW for HE 11 at the half due to the
 | GT-2. |  | loss of GT-1.  He instructed me to buy 50 MW intigrated to 25 MW for the remainder
 |  |  | of the HE 11.  I baught from LADWP for 70$/MWh at PV.  For HE 12, [NAME]
 |  |  | instructed me to buy another 50 MW.  I baught 50 MW from PNM at 25$/MWh.
2000-03-18 00:00:00 | El Paso deficient for HE 17 and 18 due to the | [NAME] and Ward | [NAME] called at 1720 MST and asked if we could buy as much power as possible
 | loss of 4C#5. |  | from SPS because 4C#5 just tripped.  Called SPS and bought 62 MW intigrated
 |  |  | to 31 at the half for the remainder of the hour for 100$/MWh.  We also bought for
 |  |  | HE 18 62 MW at 38$/MWh.[NAME] at SPS called at
 |  |  | 1740 MST to tell us that the Eddy Tie just went down and he had to cut the schedule
2000-04-28 00:00:00 | ~23:25 just a minute of 40spin and 0 non spin.  We were running tight, [NAME] told me to relax, it will average out OK, and our next hour was looking fine. | [NAME] | for the hour that we were in.  They kept in the 62 MW for HE18.
2000-07-23 00:00:00 | 11:25  Only a couple of minutes of spin deficient due to Copper not being able to turn on | Monika and [NAME] | We discussed of turning Copper on to cover the load for that hour since nobody had anything to sell. Besides Copper was much cheaper than the prices to purchase energy. At the last minute I learned that Copper had trouble getting on and had to buy spin reserves from LADWP for that hour. This helped the spin get back on track
2000-07-26 00:00:00 | HE12,14 couple minutes spin deficient | Leaf to [NAME] | Had to buy within the hour 12 and 14 load is rising hot as pistols
2000-07-26 00:00:00 | HE 16,17 | Leaf to [NAME] | Unit tripped
2000-07-27 00:00:00 | HE 10 for about 15-20 minutes | Leaf to [NAME] | Load jump, bought from APS @ 20 till 50MW int to a 17
2000-07-27 00:00:00 | HE 11 last 20mins should average out to requirments |  | 77 early in the hour 55 most the hour should be good for the hour
2000-09-09 00:00:00 | HE 17 for 10-15 minutes | Leaf to Sal | Newman 4 went down bought from PNM,IID,and LADWP
2000-09-09 00:00:00 | HE 18 part of the hour | Leaf to [NAME] | Bought from Pac 50MW on the 1/2 to cover the lack [NAME] guys didn't put the the buy in the scrape after repeated requests but [NAME] asured me that it would all work out buy the end of the hour.
2000-09-10 00:00:00 | HE 9 10 after to a little after the half | Leaf to ? | Newman 3 not able to handle load shown in the scrape. Cut econ schedules to cover load.
2000-09-10 00:00:00 | HE 10 for about 15 minutes | Leaf to ? | Newman 3 went down started copper to cover load.
2000-10-04 00:00:00 | HE 19 for about 15 minutes | Leaf to Ward | Load jumped a bit and spin dipped to 30 came back up to 54 later in the hour bought from IID to avoid further mishaps.
2000-11-09 00:00:00 | HE 7 last twenty minutes |  | We were good the first half of the hour then we started to slip. Since we were going to be fat in HE 8 I didn't want to cut the schedules
2000-11-17 00:00:00 | HE 7 | Guzman and [NAME] | Could not close breaker on Copper, bought 50 mws from LDWP to cover at $225, naturally they got the breaker closed as we ramped into the next hour.
2000-12-26 00:00:00 | HE18 | Leaf | Load came up more than expected I didn't cut schedules because I thought that the spin in the first half of the hour would average out to the requirements. Unfortunately load kept jumping.
