NORTH AMERICAN ENERGY STANDARDS BOARD 2018 ANNUAL PLAN for the WHOLESALE ELECTRIC QUADRANT Adopted by the Board of Directors on April 5, 2018 Item Description Completion Assignment 1. Develop business practices standards as needed to complement reliability standards Develop business practice standards to support and complement NERC reliability standards, NERC policies and NERC standards authorization requests (SARs) using the NERC/NAESB Coordination Joint Standards Development Process as appropriate. Current NAESB activities underway to develop business practice standards that are supportive of this annual plan item are: a) Parallel Flow Visualization/Mitigation for Reliability Coordinators in the Eastern Interconnection – Permanent Solution Note: Consideration should be given to provisional item 2.a. Work is being coordinated with the Eastern Interconnection Data Sharing Network (EIDSN). Status: Full Staffing TBD BPS b) Revise TLR level 5 to be treated similarly to TLR Level 3 in terms of treating the next hour allocation separately from that of current hour. () Status: Full Staffing TBD BPS 2. Develop business practice standards in support of the FERC RM05-25-000 and RM05-17-000 (OATT Reform) a) Develop business practice standards to better coordinate the use of the transmission system among neighboring transmission providers. Request R05004 was expanded to include the , (), and “Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission Services” i) Miscellaneous Paragraphs 1627 of Order 890 – Posting of additional information on OASIS regarding firm transmission curtailments Status: Started Q, OASIS/BPS Paragraph 1139 of FERC Order No. 890 – Redispatch Cost Posting to allow for posting of third party offers of planning redispatch services. Status: Completed 1st Q, 2018 OASIS/BPS 3. Develop business practices standards to improve the current operation of the wholesale electric market and develop and maintain business practice and communication standards for OASIS and Electronic Scheduling a) Requirements for OASIS to use data in the Electric Industry Registry () Status: Started TBD OASIS b) Evaluate the ability to define specific lists to be submitted for the Query/Response in the OASIS Template format and develop new standards/modifications as needed Status: OASIS c) Evaluate adding dynamic notification for the rollover rights renewal deadline and develop new standards/modifications as needed Status: Started OASIS
d) Review the NAESB Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS) Business and Technical Standards for needed modifications based on implementation and operational experiences since their adoption. Areas of investigation should include, but are not limited to: Corrections and clarifications of existing standards Evaluate adding a customer response time limit once a NITS request has been set to the status of DEFICIENT and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate all ModifyNITS Templates to determine additional fields that may be modified and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate adding CUSTOMER_NAME in the DNR List and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate adding the ability to annul a generator record and develop new standards/modifications as needed Modifications for support of fractional megawatt quantities as applicable, e.g. generator capacity Potential extensions to requesting and modifying scheduling rights Flexibility in use of service points On designating network resources On terminating network resources On addition of load Requests independent of resource designations New standards to be developed to address specific areas of concern within the industry Status: Started OASIS e) Develop new OASIS Business Practice Standards to ensure that reservation capacity that is assigned to untagged Pseudo-Ties is preserved for that purpose. Develop a mechanism to reduce the Uncommitted Capacity of PTP reservations that support untagged Pseudo-Ties to prevent the capacity used for the Pseudo-Tie to be otherwise encumbered (redirected, resold, tagged, etc.). The subcommittee may wish to adopt a practice that considers the full PTP reservation registered in a Pseudo-Tie to be fully bound (fully encumbered) or may wish to develop a more robust mechanism for encumbering portions of the reserved capacity. The standards should prohibit releasing as non-firm ATC the capacity reserved for an untagged Pseudo-Tie. Require that all new Pseudo-Tie reservations be Tier 1 or unconditional Tier 2, so that they are not subject to preemption after confirmation. Expand SAMTS to permit Coordinated Requests to be reduced or terminated by the Transmission Customer if the Coordinated Group includes a reservation that is denied registration in a Pseudo-Tie in webRegistry. The new standard will also minimize the potential for unreserved use penalties due to double-use of a reservation if it should simultaneously a) serve a reservation for the Pseudo-Tie and also b) serve as the basis for deliver energy on OASIS
